Beer Friday! - Recession Special

Hello again folks, and welcome to a specially themed edition of Beer Friday! I've been in New Zealand for over 8 months now (!), and as I have not been working, my funds are starting to show signs of drying up. I will make it to the end of my time here without having to resort to nefarious means of money-making or dumpster-diving for food, but I am starting to feel the pinch (my trip to Australia did not help matters, but that is not likely to elicit any sympathy, as Australia was AWESOME). As such, I've passed on trips down to Castle MacAdam the past few weeks, and instead will be delving deep into my memory to review three beers that can be kindly described as "cheap" (but realistically described as "fit only for butt-chugging"). Read on for a (hopefully) humourous look at some of the lower-echelon beers this fine nation has to offer.
