Trying all New Zealand Craft Beer: A Beer Club

I decided that it would be a good plan to try as many beers made in NZ as possible (ignoring the stock standard fare until later). And so the challenge begins. Myself and 6 "colleagues" who have the same interests will gather once a month at a beer club and sample New Zealand Craft Beer! The initial brief is...Lets start with ale...s! I'm starting with the southern most brewery, Invercargill Brewery and their Pale Ale "Stanley Green" The rest will be revealed after the "tasting"

Beer II

[3 June 2009]


Mmmm wheat beer. So its round two, M was missing in action and H on incoming duty leaving just 5 of us. The initial plan was out on the deck to enjoy the freezing conditions but someone caved. First up tuatara hefe. pleasant, wheaty (duh!) a few of us a little surprised mainly due to the last one he brought!

Wigram Hefe, a little more body and well partially better (given its beer number two we hope it gets better!)

Emersons weiss beer. Nuf said, big wheaty, spice, nice

Macs "great white" cloudy wheat beer - a definite wheat beer not as big as the others, possibly a little more accessible maybe? still pretty damn good.

Emersons dunkelweiss - completely different! We were getting to the stage that the difference between wheat beers is pretyy subtle and we like wheat beer. This one is not a standard wheat beer. A very tasty dark beer that happens to be made with wheat.

So that was some of the wheat beers. Speights make one, and we decided that our first field trip will be the brewery.

Next time its belgian style and pilsners.....Mmm beer
