New Zealand has produced a frothy world-beater.

Monteith's Golden Lager has taken out the top title at the Beer World Cup in London.

The competition took a brew from each of the 32 countries competing in the Football World Cup.

City AM, the daily business newspaper that organised the contest, says the Monteith's beer was the only one which deserved to be crowned the greatest.

It beat some of the world's biggest names, including Guinness, Grolsch and Asahi.
