    Not really a wide enough selection for my palette, very limited choices

    Perhaps he meant the Tuis lurking far right corner?

    Oh right, as usual I didn’t read the post.

    To an Australian Tui probably is a craft beer to be fair, after all it does say East India Pale Ale on the bottle.

    You just created the trans- Ta$man wars.
    Australia actually has genuine craft beers. I just haven't found them yet, I seem surrounded by baby-whiskered hoppy hipster imitations..

    Yeah I know I just need to try and wind up @NTA with some Aussie hate now that @Virgil has gone

    If I was a craft beer piston wristed gibbon I'd care

    @mn5 I never once mentioned the word "hops"

    I was too fascinated by the can that you could take the whole top off

    I found that photo of the sales fridge quite interesting in how the Oz can designs had a similar theme. It was kind of 'American'?
    NZ also has a lot of similar designs but ours are more graphical/cartooney and similar to the UK.

    @stockcar86 Lion Red in a cold glass out of a 750ml bottle tastes great!

    Had some Tuatara Hefeweizen today, unsure if I had had it before, but is a nice drop, especially in that it isnt pushing the strong flavours some try to do now, just clean and subtle.

    Met the old man for a few beers tonight, had the McLeods Pale ale which was simply outstanding, that plus the chilli Pilsner, jeepers those guys know how to make good beer. Unfortunately cos I was driving I finished with a Garage Project Fugazi ( 2.2% ). I shoulda just had some H2O, what’s the old line about sex in a canoe ?

    Like all other low alcohol beers it’s just a massive waste of time.

    Sex in a canoe is sure to start a row? Someone is going to get wet? Don't go up shit creek without a paddle first? Don't venture out on the open without trying my Eskimo roll? Anybody seen my spray skirt?

    You’re not wrong dude, not sure what it is about it but even amongst the litany of wonderful beers available at any given bar it really stood out.

    Will definitely order a bunch from their website.

    I know and it’s so easy to forget them until you see them on the shelf.

    My current go to’s are Behemoth ( or Chur if you’re Australian ) and McLeods.

    McLeods have been pumping out some seriously good beers for a while. For a small brewery beside a pizza place, they are going amazingly well.

    I also haven't had duds from Liberty, and Deep Creek do some consistnetly excellent beer too. And they have a brew pub ... only downside is it's on the North Shore 😛

    @nzzp Browns Bay isn't really the Shore. More Watford By The Sea

    @nzzp Oh that's good I was wondering how to tie in the SAFA population as well. It's easy for their other heartland Albany Free State but I like Brownsval.
