I consider anything 4% or below barely worth it. Granted I don't drink to get pissed nearly as much as I used to but in my opinion you need a beer to be at least 5.5% to register.

Speights, Tui, Export and all our mass produced generic shit beers are all around 4% and I've avoided them for years.

If you don't want to go full craft I've found Monteiths, Macs and Boundary Road do some decent drops at good prices.

Ha! How about that! You are still a vanker!

Not as much as I used to be.

The Craft scene here has gotten beyond ridiculous with some of the beers they've created. Garage Project did one that tasted like Thai green chicken curry for fucks sake.

So they have become more vank but you have stayed the same amount vank as previous?

Pub ran out of Waikato the other day and sold me speights instead but at happy hour prices for being put out.

Yeah I think that's 100% accurate.

There's a ridiculous amount to choose from. Had a session with a bunch of lads and I picked one sixer for 22.95 and it got ripped apart and to be fair it was a pretty shit drop. I was annoyed as I coulda saved money with Lion Red or something.

I no longer experiment with craft beers etc, If I want something a bit fuller, I only go to Epic Pale Ale, Pan Head Blue or Emersons something, I recognise the label but can't remember what it is called

Part of me says you're missing out but another part agrees. There is some genuine overpriced crap out there. If I'm paying 22 bucks I expect some fucken good beer. Anything less is a massive disappointment.

Enjoying the Coopers range of Beers these days, particularly the Dark Ale and Stout through the recent winter months

[Bovidae]

I had lunch at The Mussel Inn in Onekaka last week. Steamed mussels and a pint of Captain Cooker went down well.

That gave me the incentive to try 5 other beers in their range. Golden Goose and Black Rhino were the pick of those.

Remember Double Bitter? Used to sponsor the Warriors

[Bones]

@booboo double brown?

[booboo]

@bones said in France v Fiji:

@booboo double brown?

[canefan]

@booboo DB Bitter, as opposed to

[booboo]

@canefan @Bones I know Double Brown.

Double Bitter was a product that was meant to taste quite like Lion Red, and trade off the "Double" label from "Double Brown".

As I say was the original jersey sponsor of the Warriors.

I've drunk worse

[booboo]

[booboo]

Maaaaybe it was just DB bitter ...🤔

Been wrong before...

[canefan]

I only remember double brown as one of a number of odd labels of beer they used to stock at the North Dunedin Liquor King seemingly just for the scarfies, such as reineck dry

Any Joseph Khutze?

@booboo From 1993. An earlier ad from 1991 is also on YT.

I vaguely remember the name. I guess they searched far and wide to sell $10 dozens and still make a profit in the early 90s

[booboo]

Talk about a thread diversion ...

Anyone remember "10" ... kind of by coincidence ended up sponsoring Wairarapa Bush when they got promoted to 1st Div. Coincidentally have green and red colours ...

Around 1981 ish ...

[Bovidae]

Joseph Kuhtze was an Auckland/upper NI beer. Terrible stuff from the DB family.

Waitemata?

[booboo]

@Duluth thanks ... suspect we were on a bit of a tangent ...
