yep. did it once. would be hard pressed to do it again. taste good, but that price is outrageous.

You have to try Rocky Knob when you come back home for a holiday then, had one last week and boy it was good. In true beer piston wristed gibbon style I poured it and let it sit in the jug for a few minutes which I'm fairly certain does nothing for the taste but feels right to do so with such a top quality drop.

haha that's awesome

I'll happily drink instant coffee, I think 15$ is on the pricy side for wine......
 
But I'll be a proud beer <strike>piston wristed gibbon</strike> snob til the day I die.

Had a beer disaster over the weekend. Chucked a couple in the freezer and forgot about them and put them on the bench to hiff out. True-love sees them and throws them in the fridge.
 
I go out to the farm and grab acouple of cans as I will be a while and of course grabbed the two that had been frozen (hadn't buckled). Got to otherside of farm and cracked one to have a really cold flat beer.
 
Was gutted as it took a while to get through and then I had a not so cold flat beer to follow up!
 
These are the life problems I get stuck with!!!

I left a couple of brews I made in the boot of the car. Fucken disaster. More head and floth going everywhere than in a John Holmes movie.

Cheers Crucial.
 
Based on that, what would you recommend to me?

I reckon you probably have it right with what you drink. That 'Beer' from Garage Project is a well made drop.
 
But if you can drink Waikato I can't understand how you could find any non-Australian beer terrible.

Well, you could say that.....or you could say they're taking the piss and charging 3.99 a can for something which is basically identical to Macs Gold.

Same but different and when I say different, tastes nothing like Macs Gold

Crucial

'Beer' is a nice clean crisp brew. They purposely set out to make a 'straight' Pilsner type with good ingredients but not trying to be clever in any way. I think they succeeded well.
Macs Gold is more malty than Beer.
The biggest difference is that it is properly brewed and not a 'malt liquor'.

MN5

Macs Gold might not be the best example granted but it is still pricy for what it is.

Corona is pricey for what it is!

I wish we could tag people in here but calling MN5!!!
 
I finally tried Orange Panhead and the first dip into it was awful and I regretted my purchase. But by the time I got to the end of the bottle, I was quite enjoying it. To be fair, I haven't found an APA that I have liked but that was one I didn't mind.
 
Still prefer the Blue one but I think Iyou be hard pressed to find an APA that I would enjoy.
 
Still appreciate the tip

Had me the Orange tonight, and quite liked it, will have to get the Blue next...
 
I have a home brew wheat beer that is ready to drink from tomorrow, so that will be interesting!

I've got three boxes ( all up 36 x 750 ml bottles ) of the stuff I brewed but I've decided I'm gonna do dry july, heading to Raro in mid August and want to look my best ( which like all of us on here is a relative term )

Out for lunch today, had some brilliant ribs washed down with Good George IPA...very nice!

Hooroo

I had a couple of Green Waikatos last night and they were awesome!!

Kinda torture being on this thread with my self imposed exile but there y'go.
 
Everyone is getting on the APA/IPA bandwagon, I see Macs are the latest. I believe their Hop Rocker is as good as you can get at that lower end price range ( $12.99 a half doz for that is great value ) so would one of you try Macs IPA and report back ? Picking it would be in the 7-8% range given it's a double ? 
 
Monteiths version is pretty good.

taniwharugby

Don't worry bro, am gonna stop off at my local bottle shop on the way home to see if they have any more of the GG IPA (as well as some of their Hop Drop cider which I hear is excellent - for the Missus) and I'll think of you as I am downing it ;)
 
Good on you though, I have never thought about needing to do a dry July, don't think I drink enough for it to make any difference!
