Mines Coopers Pale.....lovely stuff. The wife likes coopers sparkling, but im not so keen.

We've been looking into it....and we have just found a place u can buy coopers slabs over here Gonna place our first order next week !!

swan is from west aust,bm if you want to be an ozzie,you should know these things , coopers sparkling or pale ales , coopers stout, REDBACK [wheat beer] DOGBOLTER ALE ,now these are good beers , V,B,[hoon beer] to much preservatives ,just gives you a head ache ................MM

coopers sparkling is stronger than the pale [5.9]-to[4.5]what a woman pete you wuss ,or is it the sediment in the bottom of the bottle??? ....................MM P,S Let me know what you pay for a slab in the u.k. its just hit $40 here.for sparkling ale..

Carlton Cold is okay on a hot day otherwise stick to the Brit stuff as do most down the OB.

Hi Badger!

We think you need to add James 'Boags' [bogies!]
and Crown to your poll! they'ed get our vote!

also not on there is cascade, which is ok ish!

Cheers!

i'd go with you poggle on james boags, best beer i had in oz

didnt get as much of a headache off melbourne bitter as vb

and crownies were a good un too

which brit stuff is that pb??

What about Cane Toad from Sanctuary Cove?

Hell one afternoon's boat trip to South Straddie dissapeared after a sequence of those...

For aficinados on this subject matter see what Michael Jackson has to say http://www.beerhunter.com

agreed James Boaig is excellent - i only added "popular" beers on tap to it. stuff you'd find down pub.

I thought Crown was South African - duh!

badgers

I'm disappointed in you Badger - what ever happened to Cascade Premium - brewed in Hobart, now available on the mainland, and closest thing to heaven I have ever tasted......!!
Pollyana

Yeah shes an aussie sheila Of course she can out drink me!!

Don't know why i prefer Pale, just has a slightly better flavor. Don't get me wrong, id sooner drink sparkling than alot of other oz beers....

Now.....you might want to sit down for this next bit.....

A slab of coopers pale is going to cost us 30 quid. Ouch. Only reason we are doing it is the wife is homesick

Cheers

Pete.

love redback in Perth then drunk Crown for the rest of the time mmmmmm beer

Hi Badgers,
