Speights Gold Medal and Monteiths Original, not bad for crappy styles in my opinion.

Edit: Should have trowled through TBN's blog first before I make outrageous statements like that! <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

Hey, whatever you're into <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->. And if you're into Speight's Gold Medal that can be got here. Deveney's Dundrum definitely have it.

I've heard that you can get Monteiths in England.

Site like this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.sanza.co.uk/apps/shop/shop.asp?sc_id=566">www.sanza.co.uk/apps/shop/shop.asp?sc_id=566 may deliver if you have a hankering.

Certainly was a shame when Monteiths and Macs sold out and relocated most of their operations from W.Coast and Nelson. Macs Gold seemed to suffer the most from the switch.

The NZ dark lagers (Macs Black, Monteiths Black and Speights Old Dark) are still my beers of choice.

Thanks for that Scoby, now to find out what I made such a fuss over!!!!

Speight's Old Dark is very good, I thought. They had a chocolatised version of it when I visited which was even better.

No problem donnchadhc - let me know if you manage to import some. Will be in NZ in January so will report back on the latest tasty craft beers
