The Challenge

What started as a labour of love on the Pubs of Manchester blog has now stretched to a World Beers add-on to supplement our
original adventures. The plan is simple, it is to sample a beer native to every country in the world where possible! It's a tough job...

003. New Zealand - Speight's (4.0%)



Speight's Gold Medal Ale is a terrific light ale and really surprises with its dark amber colour, reminiscent of Irn Bru almost. Clean and crisp with only slight carbonation and a slightly sweet, mellow aftertaste. A great summer barbecue ale I'd suggest due to its moderate strength (4.0%) and the fact it will take well to chilling, unlike some stronger ales. In fact, it's brewed using lagering yeast in Dunedin in the very south of New Zealand and hence, is known as the "Pride of the South."
