Nope, not in NZ dude. Was pretty nice sipping Kölsch this evening btw. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /><br />

My swiss buddy tells me that is was similar to the beers from his region, but with less of a hop bloom. -
at Canerbry's recomendation, I paid a visit to Regional Wine and Spirits on the weekend. <br />
<br />
What a fantastic range of beers. Even more impressive was they had kegs with good beers like Emersons, 3 Boys etc for filling up your flaggons with. I'll be going back there next time i'm down. -
[quote name='Allstar'] They should stick to making wine I thought. <br />

Ha! That is probably what the rest of the world thinks about NZ beers! -
came across this silly ad and although it should be posted in the "Awesome fucking shit you see on the internet" I find this thread to be more appropriate... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

The Liquorland down the road and around the corner were clearing out their supply of Russian beer today....<br />
<br />
So I got myself a bottle of Baltika #8 (wheat beer). I must say, I have been very impressed by their brews so far. They are very good with their flavours. I thought the Russians only made Vodka, but I have tried a couple of the other Baltika beers and been quite impressed.<br />
<br />
Also got a bottle of the 3 Boys Oyster Stout (limited edition or something). Also was quite a nice drop. Very good flavour, but not overwhelming or heavy like some dark beers can be. Worth a look if you come across it. -
Baltika #9 (akv Baltika N9 Extra) is also very nice. Very flavoursome, and quite strong. 1x 500ml bottle @ 8% has the desired effect without going out too hard as well <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

anyone know if there's any Thornbridge still around? <br />
<br />
I'm in the States for a bit. Busy trying all the proper American beers (i.e not Bud, Miller etc). There's some nice micro breweries about that make nice beers.<br />
<br />
If anyone is in Toronto, check out the Steam Whistle Brewery, nice beers and a good tour. It's in downtown by the CN Tower and Rogers Center -
Matsons Pilsner, from Canterbury (also has a lager, a dark ale and a draught I think)<br />
<br />
a nice crisp clean taste to it, as you expect from these micro-brewery types, on special 6 bottles for $10.95 at New World. -
Sierra Nevada is doing an NZ hops special:<br />
