Doris, the only thing stopping me upping sticks to NZ is the fecking awful beer. Speights, Mac's and all the rest of the crap, just awful. It's like stepping back thirty years to the worst days of keg bitter/lager in the UK. It comes in different colours, out of different taps, but it all has the great taste of absolutely nothing but fizzy water with massive bubbles in it. Keeps you belching all nigh. Nice.

And you wouldn't believe how much it costs either; where you could get it we found Guiness at $8nz, about £3.60 a pint.
At least it's possible to find good beer in the States, Yeungling anyone?
