Auckland Int Lounge?

There now, one has a choice of:
As Mal posted, "pure" is a reasonable drop.

I tried it - had a couple and ended up with a headache...

Everytime I drink Steinlager - regardless of the type - my head hurts the next day - I am sure it has to do with the brewing process or is it that my body is just not used to the purity of the beer?

Now, whats this about Macs? Macs Gold - oh, a gift from God himself...

Mr!

Mr!

Just shows how different we all are.

I don't particularly like Macs Gold, I do like Pure Blonde and I have few after effects with Pure Blonde.

I reckon MAC's gold is brilliant!

It was replaced with the Pure Blonde in the NZ QP's about 13 months ago.

Note that HP's have been replaced by Pure Blond in Many Domestic QP's duruing the least year and a half.

Two the better beers around, both gazumped by Pure Blonde!

Did I relate here that I don't particularly like pure blonde ...

In my opinion Hahn Premium is not a very good beer. I like Pure Blonde and I am glad that it is now stocked in Qantas Lounges so I have a choice of Crown Lager or Pure Blonde.

JohnK and I are obviously going against the popular trend here but from my perspective Hahn Premium (Florida swamp water) is extremely underwhelming and Macs Gold is dreadful

Well I'm completely the black sheep aren't I?

I'm not impressed by many Australian beers. My primary choice is Coopers (Pale Ale or Sparkling), but Cascade or James Squires are also both good in my books. I'm a QLD born but I despise XXXX.

Needless to say in a not-so-well-stocked QP, for me I'd then turn my eye to the wines or liqueurs.

Sounds ok to me

Hahn premium has too much gas

The Flounge door is accessed from the left hand side of the QP Reception Desk (unless it's changed since last time I was there ).

Hmmm, now I'm Qld born-and-bred, but I don't like XXXX. Becoming a regular QP'er made me think HP was the beer of choice (at the time). I've also drunk Crownies but never really liked them.

Then Pure Blonde (and now Naked Pure Blondes) came out and I am quite partial to them on a hot evening (or even a cold one).

I have a regular supply of quite a number of mid and low-strength beers in my "beer fridge" that I am trialling - my current (this weeks) drink is Boag's. The deals at BWS to buy 2 x 6-packs for $25 has also helped my Amex transactions.

I'll just miss trying for the AKL I FL when I travel next month (by about 100 SC, not that it would all credit in time anyway). But as has been published many times, it isn't much to write home about. A lounge which stocks more alcohol than another one isn't a significant difference to me. (It's bad enough getting to the airport at OMG o'clock. I even doubt if the bar would open at that time; I mean, a beer at OMG o'clock??? I've heard of a champagne breakfast but beer is a bit rich...)

I've tried Crownies before - they seem to carry this premium feel about them. However, I do not like them.

Boag's isn't that bad.
