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"

January 2011


I'm liking the new format. Might even make me keep up to date! And on to the beer. One of the new guys noy knowing our love/hate relationship with Green Man brought the Premium Pilsner. Ok so we will try them all!... Its creamy...unexpected...almost pilsner like... Its Alright (they say with surprise!). Emerson's latest brewer's reserve.. Tally-Ho a Summer Ale. It was hoppy and good. (I ducked down for a flagon the next day!) Next up one og Harrington's thousand beers  - The East Indies Lager. Not too bad, a bit of flavour for a lager. Next up The Townsend Brewery Cathcarts NTA. Not sure what NTA stands for... No wait.. "Nelson Terrible Ale" and it gets worse! However simon likes it. Strange boy. One for the fathers... "What ever you do to my daughter tonight boy, I do it to you tomorrow night!" Then the townsend brewey Old House ESB (extra special bitter) after the last one, not so sure ... but its not too bad! Then the Stoke Dark... from the guys of Mac's fame... well its dark and malty.. not much else. All in all a good night, pity the beer ran out!
