@mn5 your opinions on Beer took a hit about 6 days ago!
When paying for others to drink Corona is a great option. They should be thankful it's not export or tui.

Had the Manaia Dry XPA, nice aromas and good flavours, also had the Whitsunday Blonde IPA, which was also good...I think I just like beer!
Only drawback of the Manaia is that at 1.125L, is a bit more than I want sometimes.

Tuatara make a shitload of different beers but I've yet to find a truly brilliant one.
Tuatara - while none of it is brilliant, every time I visit NZ it's my "safe go-to" when I do a run to the supermarket/bottlestore. I'll typically buy one of anything I haven't seen before, but also a couple of Tuataras as a safety net (if all the rest are shit, at least I've got something I know I like enough)
Particularly the Sauvinova - but I'm a sucker for anything with Nelson Sauvin in it. -
There’s much to appreciate when a brewery gets the basics correct and things like ph levels, mouthfeel, yeast strains etc create nice to drink brews.
These breweries end up being the Go to ones. Tuatara certainly fits that bill as does Emerson’s IMO.
They also steer away from massive experiments to the main market meaning you can buy a style with confidence in quality and flavor.
Other top players like 8Wired and Garage Project make great quality but taste may be a bit more personal -
Emersons - A beer called Gary IPA, decent, full flavour
Emersons Threeway Sour mango IPA (which is 3 brewers from different breweries; Emersons, Behemoth and Funk Estate) be my least fave of what I tried recently, was more like something I make, which has decent flavours but lacks depth and is just missing something, would still give it 3-3.5 out of 5.
Hopwired IPA - liked this one, at 7.3% was very good
Parrotdog Raspberry Sour Saison Ale - pretty much cider, but was good in the sun
Kids chose these, based on flavours and labels...

Forget the stomach ache, my problem with beer is the headache the next day...

@salacious-crumb I read a similar article a few weeks ago (although this one linked it with someone having beer & Nachos and the nachos basically doing bad shit with the carbonation in yo' belly)

Fark science. Beer and nachos are great

That's kind of what I mean though. They are a vanilla BMW as opposed to a pimped V8.
You take a bit of a risk buying the V8 but if it's good it is great.
Both are still better than a Toyota Corolla. -

They are great. But as the “beer sommelier” explains, you might want to release to CO2 in the beer before noshing on the nachos.

Has this twat never heard of the power of the belch?
I'm all for pouring a head, but as for making my beer entirely flat before drinking it? Yeah right.
"Beer sommelier" ? More like boring fucknuckle.

Had the Panhead XPA and the Panhead APA over the weekend and was impressed with both.
It was refreshing to note that even with the explosion in craft brewing, all Steinlager is still crap.
I had some other APA on Friday that we were pumping by the jug, and it was pretty good, but i was way too pissed to remember what it was called.
I still don't really like Carona, but a bucket of Carona in the sun does have it's place.

Panhead are taking over the world and it's great to see. Garage Project have cool cans and about 50,000 different selections ( I had one that tasted like Thai chicken curry, seriously ) but Panhead do Craft Beer simple ( relatively speaking ) and it fucken kicks ass.
Their APA is just superb, I'm yet to find a better one.
During Wellys freakish heatwave I definitely liked a cold corona with lemon and given my stepsons are at that 'pinching beer from the fridge and hoping I don't notice' stage it's cost effective too.

I was drinking Panhead XPA in the weekend. It helped make Palmerston North palatable
