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?
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

- 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.

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

Joseph Kuhtze was a lager - from the days when there really wasn't a hell of a lot of difference between NZ lagers and bitters.
Named after an Austrian who was one of NZ's pioneering brewers starting up breweries in Dunedin Napier Auckland and Palmie -as well as Oz.
One of his sons founded Auckland's Waitemata Brewery (hence Waitemata Sparkling) which became Dominion Breweries under the direction of another grandson Morton Coutts and a Kelliher (they anglicised their surname during WW1).
Morton Coutts invented continuous fermentation. So what with his son being a big part of the drive to a duopoly controlling NZ brewing and his grandson introducing the (incredibly profitable) process that turned all NZ beer into insipid swill it is highly appropriate that a piss weak lager was named in his honour.
TBF the Coutts along with the Myers have to be the two most influential families in NZ brewing history.
Morton only retired from the company in the 80's not long before Brierleys took it over - the process that ultimately led to Heineken's ownership. He died at 100 in the early 2000's.
My old man knew the Kellihers Coutts and Myers families which is how I know all the above. Hadnt drunk any of their beers foir years until Lion started buying craft breweries
