Aussie Beers in the UK
 
Was asked by the parents-in-law (who wished to celebrate Australia day with a bottle of Aussie beer) where they could buy something decent (like not Fosters or XXXX) and came upon this site. They've got Coopers Pale, Coopers Sparkling, Coopers Stout, James Boag's premium, Victoria Bitter, Carlton Cold, Crown Lager, Hahn premium, Toohey's Extra Dry and Toohey's New.

Just thought it might interest Vash and the other Aussies living in the UK. :) ;)

You really wouldn't want to touch most of those with a barge pole. Tooheys gives me a massive headache, but if you can get any of the James Squire offerings I would defo recommend them.

Tooheys Extra Dry Platinum, Yum.

Someone posted on here that they found Little Creatures Pale Ale in Threshers in the UK. Someone has good taste over there.

I'll go with that as well.. Little Creatures is OK, as is the Blue Tongue stuff.

You can also get it in some of the big Waitrose and Sainsbury's although they don't always have it in stock.

I made shandy with it for a laugh..... (oh and so I could drive home)
