It might be better than my worst beer, or worse than my best beer, but its a chance to try something I usually wouldn't without going out of my way or paying for it.<br />
<br />
At least I'll be able to make a considered judgement on it afterwards.<br />
<br />
That's if the Brewmaster accepts my application

<p>Just try a bottle or two- then you'll know! What's the worst that can happen- you have to off load it to unsuspecting guests?! For my 2c- I think some of them are pretty good!- I have tried the Pils and Pale Ale; pils is a lot better IMO. Sure, I would rather go and buy a six pack of Tuatara or Emersons, but to take a bit of beer to a BBQ or something- this is the ticket. </p>

<p>Yeah that's probably the better way to look at it, same price for (hopefully) better beer rather than less price for worst beer. Damn pesimist in me getting out too much!</p>

<p>I aminterested in what Boundry roads offering will taste like (and the price point). When I'm at the supermarket and see that I can get a 6 pack of BR/Stoke beer for the same price as speights/et al. it makes me think that their beer is not really going to live up to a true craft beer which is twice the price (and worth it).</p>

<p>On Soul - just bought some IPA stokes beer (kegs are empty:( ). Relative bitterness - but no aroma or soul - what are these companies thinking?? Do they really have any idea of the experience of a true nz craft IPA?</p>

<p>Create a "foreign" email address - @gmail, etc - and resend the exact email you sent them (minus anything about living in NZ) and see if they even notice! If they don't slam them for not caring about craft beer at all.</p>

<p>Or just do nothing, we all know that they are not a real craft brewery because they have no soul!</p>

<p>I also thought this - and that they wouldn't really want to give any publicity to a local "competitor", Their competitor in my mind is Stoke.</p>
