1441131	2017-10-27 02:48:00	If it doesn't suck the cork into the flagon, it's not real Harleys. Just hearing the label read aloud was enough to induce paroxysms in those who had previously tasted it.	R2x1 (4628)

But I also recall two brands of very low alcohol beer sold in dairies around 1971 - 72 - which I use to drink. "Sarsaparilla" (or similar named) and "Root or "Hop" Beer. They vanished by 1975/76.	kahawai chaser (3545)
1441133	2017-10-28 03:24:00	Yes I remember Hop Beer, insipid stuff, almost no alcohol (so it could legally be sold in dairies) was it made by Leopard?	KarameaDave (15222)
1441134	2017-10-28 09:01:00	Yes I remember Hop Beer, insipid stuff, almost no alcohol (so it could legally be sold in dairies) was it made by Leopard? I don't know - you might not be far off though; Leopard Export and Continental Lager was prevalent then in some areas. Then that brand had to be removed/dropped I think due to Heineken taken it over; Then Steinlager started to evolve soon after. I can't find any info on that '70's Hop beer. Pin interest NZ (www.pinterest.nz) Beer Can pages might have images... As mispent youths we used to buy heaps (nestled between Leeds and Fanta drinks) and mix it with those white sherbet (triangular?) packs that had that fat red lollipop....my intro to beer. But I'm sure those low alcohol shop beers were sold in diminutive/short form cans - not to different from alco pop/mixed alcohol mini cans sold today.	kahawai chaser (3545)
1441135	2017-10-28 15:30:00	I second that. :thumbs: Served above room temperature at the "Dirty Duck" in Motueka. :) That would be the Swan Hotel?. Dad was a Post Office drinker and I drunk at the Royal.	prefect (6291)
1441136	2017-10-28 18:35:00	That would be the Swan Hotel? Dead right Prefect, I think it was officially called “The White Swan”. Not only did they serve the worst beer I’ve ever tasted, they also provided the biggest all in brawl I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve never seen so many jugs in the air at the one time, some of them three parts full. :D It was definitely a case of “Feet do your stuff, your body’s in trouble”. ;)	B.M. (505)

His brother Billy decided to capitalize on the fact that his brother was POTUS, and marketed a new beer - in cans as was the mode o'day - and called it: "Billy Beer" 8394 It failed - but not for the usual hatred of his brother's lukewarm presidency, but because the beer smelled like a dead skunk when first opened - and tasted like the final rinse water from a self-service laundry. 8393 The guy in the middle of the picture is Billy hisself.

Great machines, crappy software . An AV product that we(staff) were forced to sell. One of the lowest rated AV scanners ever	1101 (13337)

I started my Gaming on a commodore 64 but the Atari ST was the machine I really got into gaming on so I was excited when Atari announced the Jaguar, but it flopped horribly and never made it to NZ. By all account the controllers were terrible and despite all the claims about the revolutionary 64 bit technology it didn't perform any better than the already popular 32 bit machines of the time - playstation etc.	dugimodo (138)
