What ever you do don't try Steinlarger!! There's a brewery called Macs that make an excelent range of beer, I'm particularly fond of their Hop Rocker (pilsner) and Sassy Red (best bitter). Last night I was drinking the last of my Monteiths (another NZ brewery) Summer Ale, which is pretty good on a stinking hot day like yesterday when served ice cold in a glsas thats been kept in the freezer. If you can get anything from Macs or Monteiths then try it, IMO they're by far the best main-stream NZ beers.
