New Zealand Ale. —Under this heading the “Alta California” of July 14th has the following paragraph Messrs Collie and Stewart also received by last steamer, from the same shippers in Dunedin, a small invoice of New Zealand beer, brewed by Messrs Wilson and Birch of that place. The malt was made by them from Otago grown barley ; English Kent hops were used. The ale can be tested at James Irwin’s saloon, in the Merchants’ Exchange. Although a draught ale, it is light, sparkling and brisk, like the best English bottled beer. It is evidently much less alcoholic and heady than most of the English draught ale, and, we have no doubt, would become a great favorite both for household and general use.
