In the same way glass sizes differ from State to State and pool rules are different.

Oh, I had that a couple of times. Definitely below Ranfurly
Some old NZ beer cans: http://www.canmuseum.com/Search.aspx?PageNo=1&StartRowIndex=1&Brand=&Flavor=66&Volume=&Country=173&Year=&Description=
(Maybe I was thinking of NZ Lager?? But the reviews for it seem too good)Not Leopard either? Used to be called Hawkes Bay Draft I think
Leopard wasn't HB Draught, as @Bovidae notes it was the regional beer back in the Bay (more highly thought of than the ones being discussed here). HB Draught was the same beer as Canterbury Draught but with a different label.

When at CIT the guy next to me in the halls of residence was mad on the stuff and vexed that the tote didn't stock it. I didn't mind it either when over that way

I think there are two Leopards both from Hawkes Bay
In the 60's Leopard "Continental" Lager was introduced to offer a more refined option for the discerning palate
I think it might have been the first canned beer sold in NZ - certainly remember it being sold in solid "tin" cans with a picture of a south island lake mountains etc and a very obvious seam on the side. Impossible to crush and needed a special can opener
Somehow I think it was (weird though this sounds) a JV between Lion and DB.
I believe there was a later craft beer also branded Leopard out of the Hawkes bay

@dogmeat I can't quite remember but I think only one of Lion or DB owned Leopard (or at least by the 80s it was). It was a regular class trip visit (breweries, Freezing Works and Pizza Hutt were the main class trips in the 80s I think) and my Dad used to drink there with mates on occasion and I'd have to go in and grab him. I always looked forward to going there when I was old enough to drink (mainly because it was basically free) but sadly it closed around that time (when it closed some 'craft beer' breweries opened up including Red Rooster which was popular in the 90s).
I don't think the later craft beer was officially associated with the old Leopard Brewery.

They're the Cantabs of the Bay. (Or alternatively the Bay's of the Bay

@nepia Definitely no connection between the two Leopard Breweries.
A JV between the two mega brewers sounds weird as but that's my recall. Might have had two many Leopards. As a youngster i.e. 9 or 10 that was the beer I was given with Sunday lunch
