Re: Cheap beer in Oz, does it exist?
We use RSL's when we go out which is about $4 a schooner and decent priced grub.
I brew my own at home and with a bit of practice and Googling you can make quality beer (certainly better drinking than VB or Thooheys) I also find it a fun and very rewarding hobby and more than halves the cost of drinking at home

Re: Cheap beer in Oz, does it exist?
If I'm going to drink beer here (at home) it will be of the strong (7%+) variety and usually comes in expensive bottles ... mmmmmm ...
When out I can down XXXX with the best (or worst) of 'em ...
Reminds me, must get up the mountain and get some supplies:

Not heard of that ... I have been guilty of a few cans of Special Brew or Tennents Super though ... "The Old Purple Tin" as my fave band The Alabama 3 sang ... "Sweet Testament Lord, To The State That I'm In"

with home brew you can start by buying the Coopers kit in Kmart or Big W....it comes out to as cheap as $16 for a batch of 60 bottles (355ml)... and yes the most basic brew tastes better than VB, Carlton Draught and Tooheys New....
when I first started out, i would spend lots of time of this forum http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/foru...showtopic=9233
when I want wine I just get the $3.99 "Gossips" brand at Dan Murphy

He he still doing, he was mad as a hatter last time I want, must drink too much of his own product.

Re: Cheap beer in Oz, does it exist?
We have some homemade orange wine in the fridge, it is not suitable for human consumption ... or any consumption in fact.
Still better than our attempt at Mulberry wine, that had what looked like brains growing in it ... some steralisation issues I think ...
I love that stuff, their Absinthe is rocket fuel
