@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.
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.
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
it's nice, but goddamn now Epic do this:
Epic Armageddon 6 pack
Armageddon was the beer that started the big, hop driven IPA trend in NZ, and now the famous beer is available in 6 packs for the first time ever! The multi award winning original West Coast IPA is finally in a can, and even better - in a 6 pack! Bursting with citrus and grapefruit hop flavours!
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'

@Machpants Butter Factory has a decent range, one or 2 on tap.
Manaia Brewers have some good drops too (Liquor King be closest stockist of that for you)

@Machpants @Bovidae can I just be a cheap Scotsman and add my own to a Pils ?
Let us know how it goes 😁

I bought a selection of McLeods beers in Waipu on my way up north a few years back. These were 3 of them.
Jeepers. No one wants to discuss beer anymore ? It’s been 28 days !!!!!
I had the middle one, I definitely liked it but won’t go out of my way to grab it again. Expensive for what it was.

there's a limit to how much non sport shit we can do on here.
That said, I drank some Garage Project Sep20 hazy fresh from their taproom in Auckland. Honestly one of the finest beers I have drunk - it just nailed the style perfectly.
I've reassessed my breweries recently, and predicated on drinking fresh good beer from their taps (as opposed to bottled/canned), would go with
- Liberty
- Bach
- Garage Project
- Epic
- McLeods
- Deep Creek
I have changed my mind on Epic. They delivered riggers of great, well brewed beer over lockdown 1+2, and it has knocked the numerous piles of 'meh' beer I have had from them over the last few years.
I also have a massive soft spot for Emersons Pilsner - it was one of my gateway beers. -
