    We'll have to take your word for it I guess, haven't seen them around Chch.

    Harrington's brewery here in Chch makes some pretty good stuff as well. The Moa beer are quite yummy as well!

    Some New World supermarkets stock it. Could all philistines please do the decent thing and leave it for the cognoscenti to savour. Thank you.

    I shall keep my eyes peeled next time I venture into a New Worlds - but yes, I have noticed that NWs are usually pretty good for beer selection.

    Drink the local brew... at cellar temperature!

    In Nelson- Harringtons Stout
    In Christchurch- Dux De Lux Black Shag Stout
    In Dunedin- Emersons Old 95
    In Taranaki- Mikes Mild Ale
    In Auckland- Galbraiths Alehouse Bitter & Twisted
    In London- Youngs Double Chocolate Stout
    In Vancouver- Storm Brewering's Hurricane IPA or Black Plague Stout

    My partner is originally an Essex girl (via Canada) and I ride a Triumph. Do you see a pattern emerging here

    Oh, and keep it real

    Macs used to be a nice drop until Lion took them over and started putting Waikato River water in it (Macs Gold).
    Monteiths was great but the DB took most of the production to Auckland and turned it into swamp water.
    Heineken and Oranjeboom are great Dutch lagers but the NZ brewed copies are chemical laced gut rot. Guinness, same problem.
    And US beers never rated a mention to start with!

    Altogether much like Jaguar was a beautiful marque until Ford started churning them out.

    Stick with the hand made beers for great taste without a toxic waste headache the next day

    I like their Nor'wester and Sou'wester as well - bloody good beers!

    Only problem with the Dux's beer is that I haven't found anywhere you can buy it except at the Dux itself.

    I forgot to add that (IMO) the best beer brewed in New Zealand comes from a small brewery in Dunedin called Emersons.

    http://www.emersons.co.nz/

    If you like beer, you should do yourself a favour and try it. The Pilsner is fantastic.

    Dude, you really do need to get out more.

    You'll find it at the Hallswell New World too

    They really do have a good selection of beer

    Halswell New World seems to be the place where everything is happening... Too bad it's a bit out of the way
