Where do you live Lizzy, if you are in one of the main cities we will most likely be able to steer you to a few decent pubs with hand pulls. Failing that we can certainly provide the knowledge to start you brewing your own real ale ;). If you are after bottled product, offerings such as Emersons Bookbider or London Porter are available most places, or Townsends have a good selection of English-style ales. Can beat fresh though so let us steer you to a good pub

It depends where you are in NZ.

Draught -

Auckland: Galbraith's

Wellington: too many options to mention.

Christchurch: Twisted Hop, Cassels, Pomeroy's.

Marlborough Sounds: I've just put a smoked porter on handpull :)

Bottled -

Townshend's Sutton Hoo.

Renaissance Stonecutter Scotch Ale.

Emerson's Bookbinder.

Our pleasure Lizzy, as Kevin mentioned, Galbraiths on Mt Eden rd should be your first port of call for a proper English style pint. Vultures Lane on Vulcan lane also has a good selection. Brothers beer, Lumsden Free house, Sky sports grill, Brew on Quay and Hallertau Brewery should keep you busy for the next few weekends ;). Im sure a few others will chime in with more options too. Happy exploring, there is some fun to be had
