| 648307 | 2008-03-10 09:24:00 | I have a couple of mt Harleys beer bottles I collect the old stye beer bottles especialy prewar ABC ones. My Dad said in the early 50s it wasnt unknown for a hop to block the Harleys beer spigot in the pub. I havent heard a nice comment on Harleys beer which I suppose was the reason it died out. I thought it was because the entire customer base for Harleys fell off his tricycle and swore off the stuff. |

Harley's draft beer would be the worst, vilest beer i have ever drunk. You had to put a couple of shots of squash or raspberry in each jug to bring it up to an acceptable level. Needless to say we always avoided stopping in any pub in Nelson that served the stuff. Heck, that brings back memories. Must have been in the late 50's roughly. |

When I was a student back in the 50s we did our bit to harm NZB - they dropped all their local brews and went national with a diabolical product marketed as "Lucky Beer," "Lucky Larger" etc As a student I had a part time job working for the Auckland Company that printed their labels - student parties in those days had a minimum entry fee of 6 x 26 oz bottles of draught. Well our student flat entry fee, was 6 bottles per head of our home brew, mislabeled "Lucky Beer" - fortunately the genuine product had plain crown tops so, the unwary suffered as our amateur product appeared to be genuine. Lucky Beer etc halved the stock-market value of NZB over 3 -4 months, so they reverted to their regional labels. If you want some excellent Beers, may I recommend "Theakston's Old Peculiar" from Masham in Yorkshire, or "Green King Abbott" from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk - the local draught Abbot sold in Suffolk weighs in with an alcohol content of a mere 16%, but is especially lethal because it tastes like a mild ale. I can also highly recommend Sam Smith's "Nut Brown Ale" from Tadcaster, a genuine real ale with a very pleasant distinctive flavour, but of social drinking strength, unlike the Old Peculiar and Abbott. There is a delightful Yorkshire saying about Tetleys Beer - Brewed in Leeds " One thing about a Tetleys drinker - he will never suffer from constipation" For the best selection of beers in Auckland, I can highly recommend the London Bar of the Civic - You can drink your way round Europe in a single bar in Auckland. All the brands mentioned are available but not at the UK draught beer strength - probably just as well. PS - I am a non- drinker nowadays, have been so for over 7 years - but who's counting. |

| 648313 | 2008-03-10 21:06:00 | In once bought some cheap canned beer from an off-licence in London. Found out why it was cheap when I got it back to the flat - it was past it's Best Before date. I chilled it then poured it into a glass (a liberated pint glass from the pub - where all flatting glassware originates). It looked decidedly glutinous when I poured it. Needless to say it went down the drain (without passing through a single kidney). | johcar (6283) | ||
| 648314 | 2008-03-10 21:35:00 | With the exception of Harley’s there has never been a bad beer, some is just better than others. ;) Going back to Billy’s question, I have been assured that Beer is best new, unlike Wine. But, if you have an old brew, pour it into a clear glass. If there’s nothing floating around, sniff it, if that seems ok, taste it, if that is OK, drink and enjoy it. The clarity is usually the dead give away. ;) |

| 648316 | 2008-03-10 22:11:00 | To last the beer would need to be dead - ie yeast etc totally expired before bottling or canning - As most continuous fermentation process beers are filtered and artificially carbonated, theoretically they should keep fairly well, although I had a case of Carltopn Cans that went off badly - were about 12 months old. Reminds me of a sticker the Portage Pub in the sounds used to put on their Flagons. " we don't keep the best beer - we sell it to our customers" |
