abstract:Steinlager (sometimes known as Steinlager Classic) is a lager-style beer brewed by Lion Nathan in Newmarket, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. It has won several prizes, notably at beer competitions in the United States, and is New Zealand's biggest export beer.
For someone who had never gone faster than 8 knots on a sailboat, watching him and his crew in the 1989 Whitbread Round-the-World Race blaze through the Southern Ocean on the 90-foot Steinlager II was nothing short of incredible.
