Aussie Beer ?
Right lads....
What is your favourite Aussie Beer ? and why ?
For the record mine has got to be a good old, ice cold VB.
Why? Because Victoria Bitter has a unique strong taste that hits the spot on hot day
I'll be interested in hearing what you other pommie blokes like to drink down under when your partying :PARTY:
O'yeah and we should NOT forget the ladies
Sheila's, what's your current favourite sherry at the moment ?

When we were in Brisbane last year we spent a night on South bank and ended up in The Plough pub. There was a kareoke going on - great atmosphere!!
We got very pissed on good old VB that night and crawled back over the bridge to our hotel - great crack

Cascade Premium, fabulous stuff!!
Mercury Dry Cider isn't bad - though nothing like Real cider and theres a bitter called Tasman you can get up here, which verges on being proper beer.

I drank bitter or Guinness in the U.K and rarely touched lager so the beer came as quite a shock to me. Tried loads and loads of different brands
The results of my conscientious study were,
V.B awful taste, akin to drinking battery acid. 0/10
XXXX Bitter not to bad 4/10
XXXX Gold No way I reckon this ones only bottled after being filtered through human kidneys. 1/10
Tooheys Old not a bad drop close second to the Guinness they serve here. 8/10
Carlton Midflow sorry Midstrengh Ok for drinking in the daytime best of a bad bunch 7/10
Tooheys New not bad you can actually taste the beer 6/10
Tooheys Extra Dry I like this one a lot 9/10
Crown Lager Very nice but not good value for money 8/10
Guinness Excellent drop of stuff available worldwide 11/10 ok so it's not Australian who cares
I conclude that beer here is served so cold that most brands are indistinguishable from one another unless they are very good or very bad. VB is very bad and Tooheys extra dry very good.

Any suggestions from you seasoned drinkers??
I love Budweiser and also Med beers like Sol & San miguel ( not a huge lager drinker much prefer wine) other half likes Stella.

VB New XXXX processed and sweet tasting.
In Sydney there is the Malt Shovel Brewery which produces the James Squire beers. The amber Ale is the only one available on tap and is excellent in summer. I've tried the IPA and porterhouse and both are excellent.
Boags, Cascade, Coopers and Tooheys Old are the others I am quite partial to too.
