Ditto for mainstream. My go-to beer after work in the heat is Mac's Great White.
The beer I am loving this summer for always being exactly the same and easy to drink with that thirst quenching feel is Tiger on Tap. I also like that you can buy a bigger bucket than most other beers.

Sol is the 'mainstream' beer that sits in my fridge regularly.
Wife got me a 6 pack of Harringtons (had different ones in it)
With the differnt ones I have tried over summer, I'm starting to veer away from the hoppy IPAs and Pale Ales, preferring the lighter tasting Pilsners and Lagers

@taniwharugby like me and my coronas. A guilty pleasure but sometimes you just don't want to work that hard!
-
nothing wrong with a corona provided you have lemon or lime otherwise don't even bother.
@Stockcar86 great white is a lovely drop but hard to find unfortunately. Boundary Road did a really nice Summer beer some years back but perhaps it wasn't popular cos I've never seen it since.

I went on Contiki years ago. Was in Nice drinking coronas at a bar. A Mexican guy on the trip asked me why I put a lemon wedge in the neck. I told him that's the way you drink them, to which he replied not in Mexico we don't!

Do you get Yeastie Boys White Noise in NZ easily? (I have a feeling it is a UK brew only).
Really nicely balanced thirst quencher and not ridiculously priced here (YBs have targeted supermarket sales for volume in UK)

Hell of a nice guy. Almost missed the coach the morning after sharing 2L of tequila he brought with him for the trip the night before

but I do love a Corona and other Mexican cuisine....

Oh yeah, I don't get people that like to sip Tequila. It's a slam shot or nothing for me

this is appropriate after my last time I had Tequila (clearly not learning my lesson form the same result 5 or so years earlier)

The shit tequila you typically get in NZ/UK bars - yeah, shot-only.
Good tequila - perfectly sippable.Lemon in Corona - I believe did start in Mexico, but only done by some places as a way of sterilising the mouth of the bottle, in places where the beer was stored in very dusty/sandy conditions.
Similar to how you find some old-school barmen (sorry - barpeople) who'll stuff a tissue lightly in the mouth of any bottled beer they serve, for you to wipe the neck/mouth with.
But then, I guess westerners saw the lemon thing, like it - realised the beer (like many) did taste much better after sticking the lemon right down the neck into the beer, rather than just twisting it around and throwing it away.... and hey... -

I think it's just the flavour I don't like. A mate of mine gave me a few sips of some spirits that was 80% alcohol and that was more sippable than tequila.

@Kruse I expect that is similar of most spirits...
Cheap nasty Whisky/ey compared to a good quality drop, cheap nastyl vodka vs a quality drop...
That said, I'll take your word for it on the Tequila haha

Back in my uni days we would mix it up with lime and shoot it from water guns, or just do laybacks. I can't see the sense in letting it swill around in my mouth any longer than it must

Vodka and Rum are my go to spirits and I'm pretty happy having bog standard cheap stuff. the Lion Brown/Tui equivalent.
I love a vodka and lemonade or a rum and coke particularly.

Tequila brand Jose Cuervo has launched an all-you-can-drink tequila train experience that travels from Guadalajara to Tequila, Mexico.
Tickets start at NZ$160 and are promised to include the all-you-can-drink tequila open bar, expert tasting and a tour at La Rojeña distillery (said to be one of the oldest in the Americas), games, music, food and entertainment.
The company claims the experience is 'unforgettable,' but that may depend on how much you drink.
