Equivalent of Tetley/Caffrey/John Smith beer?
Hi everybody
We have visitors arriving just after Easter so are starting to get the food and drink supplies in
Anyway, can anybody tell me if there is any kind of Aussie equivalent to Tetleys or Caffreys or John Smiths bitter? These are the favourite tipples of one of our visitors.
I know that we can buy 4-packs of Tetleys in one of the local bottle shops ($14.99
), but just wondered if we can get a local version for them to try? I have seen something which I think was called Kilkenny 
but I have no idea!
We are in Perth northern suburbs by the way - just in case anyone knows a particular place that we should try.
Thanks!!

Well as all of those taste like piss I would imagine that any of the Australian piss-type beers would do.
Why not get them to try Coopers or some other proper beer.

He only drinks those types of beers in the UK. When he came out last time, he tried loads of different beers, but eventually stuck to VB!!?
The previous suggestions of Coopers are good, maybe try the Pale Ale. another possible is James Squires. Their amber ale is a nice drop and looks the part too. Not saying it's the same but i'd give it a go.
The kilkenny you mention would be the closest match for the creamyness. It's just another faceless (tasteless imo) beer that's marketed worldwide.
