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.

@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

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 ...

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 ...

[antipodean]

Hit a few breweries in Sydney the other weekend. My favourites:

• Batch Brewing - Their APA is excellent. Honourable mention for their Double Rainbow, a XXPA.
• Young Henrys - Summer Hop IPA.
• Wayward Brewing - India Pale Ale.
• Grifter Brewing - Neighbourhood NEIPA.

Waitemata Sparkling was an old classic. Was probably the Auckland equivalent of Waikato but drinkable.
JK was a new classic made for the puriofa cheap session with a guaranteed hangover

If you haven't got munted on 440ml 'Ranfurly draft' or 'South Island draft' you haven't lived

... (with a filthy hangover)

[Bovidae]

Even as a student I avoided those cheap beers.

I did drink a lot of home brew which meant most domestic beers tasted like sugary water after a session on that.
