BrewDog's "Nanny State" - 0.5%, and pretty tasty. Had to resort to it while watching an ABs game in mid-morning, with a full day's riding ahead...
Albeit - was Bledisloe #1 from memory, and true to my superstition, we didn't start scoring proper tries until I had 1 full-strength beer. -
@crucial Macs Mid Vicious is easily the best low alcohol beer I have tried, is good to know there are some options out there, will have to keep an eye out for that one.
The Heineken light is the most shitty crap ever, as for zero alcohol, not sure why you'd bother!

I consider anything 4% or below barely worth it. Granted I don't drink to get pissed nearly as much as I used to but in my opinion you need a beer to be at least 5.5% to register.
Speights, Tui, Export and all our mass produced generic shit beers are all around 4% and I've avoided them for years.
If you don't want to go full craft I've found Monteiths, Macs and Boundary Road do some decent drops at good prices.

Not as much as I used to be.
The Craft scene here has gotten beyond ridiculous with some of the beers they've created. Garage Project did one that tasted like Thai green chicken curry for fucks sake.

So they have become more vank but you have stayed the same amount vank as previous?
Pub ran out of Waikato the other day and sold me speights instead but at happy hour prices for being put out.

Yeah I think that's 100% accurate.
There's a ridiculous amount to choose from. Had a session with a bunch of lads and I picked one sixer for 22.95 and it got ripped apart and to be fair it was a pretty shit drop. I was annoyed as I coulda saved money with Lion Red or something.

I no longer experiment with craft beers etc, If I want something a bit fuller, I only go to Epic Pale Ale, Pan Head Blue or Emersons something, I recognise the label but can't remember what it is called

Part of me says you're missing out but another part agrees. There is some genuine overpriced crap out there. If I'm paying 22 bucks I expect some fucken good beer. Anything less is a massive disappointment.
