Beer lovers have been around for as long as the first brew was first created, most countries have their own takes or varieties of beers, each offering a different taste experience. Generally, people look to save money and with the cost of alcohol increasing in public venues as well as supermarkets and independent shops some people will be drinking beer that might cost a little less but doesn’t taste as good as they would like.
Support your economy
Searching for cheaper prices is quite natural, but what that does is actually take business away from other companies, in this case, perhaps local breweries or national breweries who do all they can to keep consumer costs fair and reasonable. The downside of not buying from your home country will generally mean the costs of the beer will increase due to a reduced production line.
The more products that a factory is able to produce normally means that the overall costs are reduced which is great news for everyone. Support your local economy, spend a little extra on New Zealand beer and watch as the price of your national drinks reduces.
Why buy anywhere else?
Of course, cost has already been discussed, however, New Zealand offers some of the best beers that the world has to offer and is renowned for producing some really unique blends of smells and flavours. It would be a real shame if your country produces beer that you prefer the taste of opposed to competitors, although a cheaper option is consumed purely for saving a small amount of money.
There is no need to sacrifice
When it comes taste and your enjoyment there really shouldn’t be any sacrifice, whether it be in terms of where you shop, where you drink or the cost. The whole point of drinking a beer is to enjoy it, so do some experimenting with some local brews in order to find out what you like.
Drinking holes
Anyone who has ever visited a local drinking spot will have probably noticed that the sellers usually have a preferred brand or a local brew that they are helping to promote. The best thing about this, especially with the ever-increasing varieties of beer on offer these days means that you can almost make your beer drinking more fun by going to different places to see what they have on offer. Needless to say, be responsible, beer is great in moderation but if you find yourself drinking for the effect rather than the taste, then perhaps a different past time would be a good idea.
