Speights??? In Auckland??? They are just Aucklanders they can't help it! 

Perhaps a Monteith dark ale then or ye olde Steinlager.  Both quality adult beverages.  With a Dad's pie.

Steinlager? Yuck! Only tourists drink that.

 

Monteith's dark is a decent drop though.

 

There are so many boutique breweries in NZ now. We went to a great one in Dunedin last year - Emerson's Brewery. Very nice beers indeed and a great restaurant.

We also had very nice beer the Bully Hayes restaurant in Akaroa with the Bluff oysters. I can't remember the brand though but I don't think it was one of the usual ones.

Don't think so but it was almost a year ago.

Perhaps Tui, Lagunitas or even a Dopplebock

Wrong part of the country for Tui, and I don't know the other two.

Hmmmm, I had a look at that and none of them dinged my memory. It wasn't a lager or an IPA but I don't think it was Monteith's dark either. I have a vague recollection it may have been something we chose from a special promotion card on the table.

They are likely to try some boutique beers as specials prior to adding it as a regular staple.

Exactly. Anyway whatever it was it went very well with the Bluff oysters.
