I have tried some of the Coromandel Brewing Co beers when last in Hahei https://www.thepourhouse.co.nz

There is also the Hot Water Brewing Co. at Whenuakite for a day trip.

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.

I haven't read all 1200 posts but if it hadn't been mentioned prior, Craft Embassy in Chch is quite good. Service can be patchy but great range of beers. I got hooned on a coconut porter.

@canefan looks like an Aussie pub, and that can might say Emu Export. The bird with the camera is most definitely an ocker. But the bird ON camera is a Yank.

If there's a brewery that does better beer than Panhead Supercharger and Rat Rod ( APA and Hazy IPA respectively ) then I certainly haven't heard of them. The latter is completely sold out which is niggly.

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?

$36 a six-pack?

$144 a carton?

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

I don't drink a lot of craft beer, but my mate just scored a few awards in Canada - their company is only a couple of years old, not sure how widely available the beer is

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.
