My Mrs and I had a HUUUUUGE night in Greymouth, on the Black and the original. I love the Black, it's a great beer and one I enjoy when I go back home.
Cheers - Mike
PS - a huge night in Greymouth means:
- Getting offered Mary Jane within 4mins of walking into pub - not to buy, just go and share a spliff
- Getting asked if I wanna work on a fishing trawler for a week, to look after the maori fullas
also had one on tap that tasted like lime, that was shocking. Overall, I won't be buying a Montieth product again.

- The New Thing To Do at the Pub was Karioke
- Minus 2 deg when walking back to motel room
- The worst mexican food ever - Watties Chili Beans anyone?
- Drinking so much Mont Black that I had 'rabbit' poos the next day

Good if your like my Grandma and enjoy a Shandy I suppose
Hey bro, that's called West Coast hospitality. You know they REALLLYYYYY like you cuz when they ask you to go possum or deer hunting, hey girl???
Seriously, I spent a few weeks on and off in Westport (about 120 kms up the West Coast). I wasn't too keen try anything out of the ordinary beer-wise at the time (much to my disgust now...), otherwise I would be able to give a detailed account of the Monteiths range. People on the West Coast are certainly a different breed again from your run of the mill Kiwi. It's almost like the place is stuck in a timewarp from 20 - 30 years ago...
I still remember the billboard I saw on the Lewis Pass road across the southern alps... - "If you want to see England, visit Christchurch. If you want to see New Zealand, visit Westport".
:icon_offtopic: I know, I know...
All I can say about monteiths is :icon_vomit:
Macs is the competing brand and is far better IMO, but theyre both just mega swill brands brewed by giants!
Bought a 6 pack of Summer Ale the other day, I had one....PASS .... the other 5 is up for grabs.... anyone?

At least Macs use some hops...
I tried the Summer (?) one, thought it was very bland.
I definitely like the black, but not as far as the general scope of black beers go. I similarly enjoyed a bottle of Sheaf Stout last night. It is swill, but with taste, cos it is black. I would rate it above Old and Sheaf though.
Not so sure about that either.I definitely like the black, but not as far as the general scope of black beers go. I similarly enjoyed a bottle of Sheaf Stout last night. It is swill, but with taste, cos it is black. I would rate it above Old and Sheaf though.
