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.
Ha! How about that! You are still a vanker!
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.

I only remember double brown as one of a number of odd labels of beer they used to stock at the North Dunedin Liquor King seemingly just for the scarfies, such as reineck dry
Any Joseph Khutze?
I vaguely remember the name. I guess they searched far and wide to sell $10 dozens and still make a profit in the early 90s

Hit a few breweries in Sydney the other weekend. My favourites:
- Batch Brewing - Their APA is excellent. Honourable mention for their Double Rainbow, a XXPA.
- Young Henrys - Summer Hop IPA.
- Wayward Brewing - India Pale Ale.
- Grifter Brewing - Neighbourhood NEIPA.

Joseph Kuhtze was an Auckland/upper NI beer. Terrible stuff from the DB family.
Waitemata?
Waitemata Sparkling was an old classic. Was probably the Auckland equivalent of Waikato but drinkable.
JK was a new classic made for the puriofa cheap session with a guaranteed hangover -

If you haven't got munted on 440ml 'Ranfurly draft' or 'South Island draft' you haven't lived
... (with a filthy hangover)
