Good George at North wharf https://www.goodgeorgenorthwharf.co.nz/ if you want to go a bit upmarket
or The Beer Spot in Sandringham (596 New North Rd Kingsland). I haven't been to that one but the original in Northcote has 40 revolving (all guest) beers on tap and is good for a quick overview of the beer scene. Here' s Sandringham's current Tap Menu https://thebeerspot.trkl.co/taps/pdf/morningside/download?action=preview
They also have a French hotdog food truck this week https://www.facebook.com/miammiamsausage/ -
pub i was at on Saturday had Panhead XPA on tap so i deleted a few of those. Not bad, pretty tasty, and very refreshing served ice cold. But not really sessionable, after a few i started feeling really full, and had to switch to something a bit lighter.

Just trying 'Heels to Jesus' a Garage Project wild brew marrying Belgian yeasts with kiwi hops.
This is the type of 'craft beer' that justifies it's price easily. A well made experiment that doesn't try to be too crazy and doesn't slam you with alcohol.
My best description would be a hazy belgian pale ale with a nice balance of sour and bitter.
This is the type of brew that Wild Beer Company in Somerset come up with all the time and goes well with food.It was $6 a 330ml bottle but in comparison to the raft of "Just another fucking IPA"s that want similar you don't feel like you have paid way more than has been put in.

@Crucial just to confirm, that's $6 a stubbie?
Do you get a blowjob when you buy it?You follow horses don't you ... you pay for pedigree. Like wines; you can't compare the $10 Spumante leg opener you drank in your teens with a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon. They taste different, the cost different.
Also, my son just named a song 'all beers taste pretty much the same to me'. He's trolling me, but it's quality

there are a lot of million dollar yearlings that never make the track
also, a good bottle of wine takes how long to make?

Six bucks for a single bottle, and you're screaming. FFS. What do you pay for a farking burger at the pub that serves you a schooner of piss for six bucks?

I'm not screaming. I would never pay it. $6 for a stubbie of beer at my own house? fuck that.

honestly fella, that's absolutely fine. Personally, I wouldn't pay 6 bucks for that beer, but that's because the style doesn't float my boat.
You are in the beer thread by the way, not the 'only commercial beer' thread.
I just drank a hazy fresh hop IPA, cost about $10-$11 for 440ml. Well worth it, was very tasty.
