| 1363369 | 2013-12-30 09:30:00 | :2cents: Carlton have been playing games in the local market for a while. 6 x Fosters $10 (can be $9 at Pak n Save) and 12 x Crown Lager around $28. Apart from the price, both are 375ml so that makes them a better bargain than the 330ml we got conned into this side of the Tasman. If you like Fosters and Crown - which I do - you can't beat those prices unless one wants to drink weasel ****. Plus the added advantage of Fosters is that the cans don't shatter if the Gulf gets a bit choppy :D |

I really enjoy Abbot's Ale (English? I could be wrong, definitely an import though). Although @ ~$12 a glass a little too pricey. |

Yes it is English, brewed at Bury St Edmunds by Greene King, it's abbotsolutley delicious from the barrel (but would be too warm for most here) :P Adnams from Southwold is another fine East Anglian brew. |

And their competition, Steamrail www.1stchoice.com.au Though they appear to have had a price drop. The price of beer in Australia always astounds me (especially given the climate in most places). The excise duty on beer is absolutely horrendous in Oz. If you're going in to stay for a week for so, it's almost worth buying beer duty free rather than spirits. Coming back to NZ, of course, still worth buying spirits.... |

Warm? I've never had it warm lol. The Duke of Wellington in Dunedin and the Tap Haus in Wellington both serve it cold :) |

| 1363376 | 2013-12-30 21:20:00 | I prefer my beer not warm, but just below room temperature, unless I'm in a sauna, in which case, slightly colder than room temperature. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 1363377 | 2013-12-30 21:27:00 | Sacrilege!!But Johcar... you're a purist... how can we compare!? (I shoulda taken up that Xmas invitation from you years ago, if for nothing else, to teach you the wholesome betterment of mankind via beer!) | Greg (193) | ||
| 1363378 | 2013-12-30 21:41:00 | Most people seem to like their beer cold so that the flavour doesn't get in the way of their drinking. I know a few people (mostly girls) who admit to liking Export Gold because their isn't so much flavour/aftertaste/whatever |
