Easily best on the market and at a reasonable price. Anything else is just pretentious if you ask me. Tastes great from the tap, a couple of tins are perfect for a BBQ and is a staple for an away day trip! A wee nip of Glens vodka on the side?

Of course you love good wine and consider a good Burgundy your right and are willing to pay that cost. A crisp Chablis or maybe Picpoul de Pinet if it's fish on the menu.

Sydney Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I am in Wellington NZ this week for work and there are loads of tremedous beers here. Quite surprised at the amount of really good craft beers on offer. I keep looking out for our hibby hating wellingtonian....but no sightings yet.

Some folks still like them, each to their own, I suppose. I'll buy and drink Moretti, Peroni, Mythos etc etc on occasion, indeed was mostly drinking Peroni, Mythos & Dos Equis whilst on my recent cruise, these were better than what else was on offer, such as Bud, Bud Light, Michelob, Michelob Ultra, Coors Light etc. Overheard a group of 3 American gents singing the praises of how great Bud Light was , did think about educating them, but what was the point, as one of this group also got a Johnny Walker whisky with lots of ice and the glass filled up with coke. How to kill a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice, the ruby and the gold is good as well but the King is on a whole other level. The Ruby being only 1.30 for a 500ml bottle is insane.

Wasn't overly struck by the Hallowed tbh. Badger's not too bad these days, I particularly like their Daring Diver & First Call. Tried their Fursty Ferret on draught in one of their pubs in West Sussex, thought it much better than the bottled version, mind that is often the case that the cask is much better than the bottled version.

Trooper was fine, not tried the red & black porter, yet. I've been trying quite a few of the beers from the 8 Sail Brewery from Lincolnshire over the last few months, all are bottle conditioned, one or two quite lively though. Was really surprised by a Spanish beer I tried last week, it was this one. At last a decent Spanish beer, wonderfully hoppy, very very nice. I've got a bottle of their Pale Ale as well.
