Limburg Witbier

From Limburg Brewing Co., Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. I let this one(bottle) cool down in the fridge and it's turned out to be a winner, in my book. Very zesty and smooth at the same time, this *could* be the best beer to come out of NZ since I've been a beer drinker. Try it....I think you'll like it.

Best regards, Bill

Very nice it is too.

Fortunately the brewery is just around the corner from home!

Cheers! Martin

You're a lucky guy, Martin! Just to clarify, the only other NZ brews I've ever had were Steinlager and Leopard Beer.

I'll always be on the lookout for brews from down under. I lived in Oz for 4 years back in the late 60's early 70's.

DB. The only time I've seen that one mentioned was in the movie "once were warriors".

I do think that I'll get some more Limburg Witbier. Life is short.

Best regards and cheers to you mate, Bill

It's good to hear the Limburg Wit has made it over there. Is this thanks to Michael Jackson's Beer of the Month club? The story was that Chris O'Leary (brewer) had to ramp up production drastically to fill the order... although that was a year ago.. is he exporting regularly now?

For the record, NZ beer definitely no longer starts and ends with the rightly despised Steinlager and DB. Chris O'Leary's Limburg brewery is doing really well. The Weizenbock and Hopsmacker (pale ale) are superb. If anything from Emerson's Brewery makes it to the US, snap it up. Also some memorable beers from Harrington's, Galbraith's, the Mussell Inn, the Lighthouse... Even the old evil duopoly are producing the occasional good beer (Speight's Pilsener, some Monteiths).

cheers,

Dominic

I don't know about MJ's beer of the month club but Liquid Solutions, out of Oregon, began carrying the Limburg Wit . I subscribe to Matt's newsletter so....when I received the onelisting LW, I thought I'd give it a try. I only bought

1 bottle of it; caution did not pay off this time. :^)

I'll be sure to keep Limburg on my "get" list. My hat's off to NZ for getting into the micro brew frenzy.....we, the consumers just win. ;^)

Best regards, Bill
