Got a 6 pack of Boneface Brewing (from Upper Hutt) 'The Unit NZ IPA'
Is a very good drop!!
Boneface beer is outstanding and Brewtown is like Willy Wonkas Chocolate factory for grown ups.
Beer and Bogans. It’s our motto.
Beers, motorsport, axe-throwing, and ice-skating - in a single cluster. What could go wrong?

Pint of Cassels Best Bitter in cask at the Fork and Tap Arrowtown.
Well made. It’s not cask conditioned but then we don’t really have the cellars for that. I suspect it is bag in a box and pulled through a sparkler.
Still, it’s a nice pint at a very sessionable 4.3% -

I’d like to think that’s true of everyone on here.

Today’s beer is a Croatian craft from 5th element. It’s a pilsner and very nice.
The fluent Croatian speakers on the forum can read all about it here

And I’ve now added the American blonde ale, the wheat beer and the Indian pale ale. Colour me impressed and at €1.50 for 500 mls bottles that is more than decent pricing.
Croatia in general (well at least Rab Island) is leaving a good impression: cheap, clean, beggar-free, friendly, decent beaches (albeit stony rather than sandy).

Went to Krk about 30 odd years ago (it was in Yugoslavia then). Apart from the beaches being full of germans it was a nice place.

Speak for yourself.
I was. Perhaps I should have said'most normal places....'

Rode down the Croatian coast in 2019 - some rather pretty coastline. And Dubrovnik - a pretty sweet Old Town... the setting for at least one scene set in King's Landing in the Throne-Game.
That whole coast is lovely, until Albania, which is just an instantly depressing backwards shit-hole. -
When double IPA isn't enough!

@antipodean have you tried them?
Not imagining an 18% beer to be overly palatable!

No I haven't and because alcohol is taxed by percentage, I'm uninterested in paying $60 for a four pack to find out.
