  The history, tradition, and flavor of these beers are reasons why many American craft breweries began their recipe book with a pale ale, a porter, and a stout.
brewing tradition began with ales, the fruity-tasting, “top”-fermented beers that ferment somewhat rapidly at warmer temperatures, and can be ready to serve relatively quickly – in 10 days or two weeks.

By this time whaling fleets and sealers ships crowded the ports of the North and the town of Kororareka (now Russell) was known as "the hell-hole of the Pacific" due its its taverns and brothels lining the waterfront.

Nathan Efron, Professor of Clinical Optometry at the University of Manchester, said: "The beer goggles effect isn't solely dependent on how much alcohol a person consumes, there are other influencing factors at play too.
"For example, someone with normal vision, who has consumed five pints of beer and views a person 1.5 metres away in a fairly smoky and poorly lit room, will score 55, which means they would suffer from a moderate beer goggle effect."
