@mariner4life yeah First Choice is my go-to but wasn't sure if they were up your way. I have started buying online for Garage Project as they now have an Australian website.

I spent up a bit late last month and got some NZ imports
Epic Hop Zombie - old school personal favourite
I tried Hop Zombie and Armageddon when they were first released, and later at a tasting with Luke Nicholas, but too hoppy for my tastes.

@mariner4life get on to Panhead Supercharger from uncle Dan's. Better than Tuatara APA(bit of an OG beer now and there easily better NZ beers we can get in OZ now.
If you can get it try some Deek Creek. It's been turning up in Dan Murphys regularly. As has Good George in Squealer sized bottles.
love Panhead beers, but I'm suss on NZ imports as they are always getting on a bit unless you pick it up as soon as it comes in
The big benefit to cans. Doesn't have the UV light issue like glass.
Dans has been my go-to, but I've just cottoned on to how good the beer selection at First Choice is, and i have switched. Dans still better for wine though i reckon
My Dan Murphy's is quite large and I'd estimate almost 70% of the footprint would be wine. Spirits would be larger than beer too.

I've finished the last 2 of those aforementioned beers
Dangerous
It tastes very good, has sessionability I reckon, as it's not heavy to drink. But at 7.5% kicks you in the head

If you drink those side by side it's astonishing how much better the former is. It could be argued the Tuatara Pilsners are better than Panheads though.

@Bovidae never been a huge fan of Armageddon but ZOP is the first NZ craft beer I had over here and realised something serious was happening in the breweries there. I think ZOP is my number 1 beer. Can't drink lots of it in one sitting but it's still my favourite

The Panhead guy used to be head brewer at Tuatara before he went out on his own. I guess he would have had to change some recipes that he would have quite liked and had left behind.

Well given the opportunity to make a XPA, he did a good job.

From awhile ago, but Panhead XPA is my standard everyday drink, awesome

@Kiwiwomble I like their dimples Ipa. It was as good as anything I have had out of Australia. Not a fan of their xpa but it's a mass-produced one and that's what you'd expect. I didn't mind their Garage Project mashup they did.

That is a sensational beer at a sensational price.

@nzzp Nice but too strong for everyday tipple for me.
drinking 7.5% IPAs next to the pool in the sun is a good way to get completely rolled in an hour and a half.

My local is McLeod's which rocks (I'm a McLeod) but it is very expensive and hard to get a hold of... and 45 odd mins drive away

I think the word you look for is 'closest' rather than 'local'
