About Speight's

Speight's was founded in Dunedin in 1876 by James Speight, Charles Greenslade and William Dawson. The brewery on Rattray Street still brews in the city, and the brand is part of Lion. Gold Medal Ale is an amber draught style, a little richer and maltier than a pale lager, and long linked with the South Island.

How to Enjoy Speight's

Serve Gold Medal Ale cool rather than ice cold to bring out its malt, alongside a mince pie, lamb chops or a roast. Summit Ultra and Summit Lime are served well chilled with salads, seafood or chicken. Summit Alcohol Free suits the same foods.
