You mentioned the NZ armed forces. Im not a vet, but I am pretty sure NZ and Australian troops have fought alongside the US in every conflict since WWI. Just a thought to keep in mind when you decide where to spend your vaction dollars. Theyalso have great beer in NZ. Australia, not so much. YMMV

Our beer is pretty excellent.

Our beer is pretty excellent.

Monteith's was the happening beer when I was there, almost 10 years ago, Speight's had some decent stuff too. I did fly in some Arrogant Bastard, which was kind of a big deal at the time ha.

Also, I don't know if it's true, but one of my favorite South Island story goes that, back in the day, when drink driving was more "socially acceptable", beer was used as a measure of distance.

As in: "How far is Wanaka?"

"Oh, about three beers."
