Why would people in other countries buy our beer? It's nothing special and certainly far inferior to beers from Europe, Americas, and Japan. I don't have experience with Chinese beers but I bet they also make better beers than us.

For me Asahi Super Dry rules supreme.

I'm European, and one of Garage Project's beers was one of the best beers I've ever had.

Never even heard of that.

We aren't talking about bespoke, hand crafted artisan beers though.

I thought that's exactly what we were talking about, from the article:

"Locally brewed beer is a source of regional pride, driving tourism and community initiatives. From the thriving craft breweries of Otago to the innovative exporters in Taranaki, this report highlights the diverse and vibrant role of brewing in shaping regional economies," said Brewers Guild executive director Melanie Kees.

I was replying to somebody who was talking about exporting beer.

Don't confuse exports with GDP, buying a local beer increases GDP
