After seeing this post on Riggers, growlers and flagons I though I'd start one on the beers themselves.
Let's try and keep it PG, and not start a debate about what is craft and what isn't...
Bars can be included too.
I'll kick things off
Beers:
Mean Doses Mean XPA - had some last weekend, very tasty
Mean Doses Mean IPA - A nice IPA
Mean Doses Mean Juice - currently not pouring, but is being refined.
Bars:
Heyday in Wellington is nice place to have a beer
Crafty Trout in Taupo is worth a visit if you are passing through or staying. If you've got a small group, the tour is well worth it
Papa Mos in Papamoa has good sea views from upstairs and serves mainly Good George brews.
