Just found out Becks is now made here as well ! It's not looking good for true beer lovers is it?

You may mock that XXXX is crap and i would heartly agree if you were in the UK, BUT XXXX Gold is one of the few beers in Oz i like.

Coopers, Tooheys, Bleurgh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shite really but that is my opinion!!

I have a very large soft spot for VB and if you search high and low you can get it in England BUT it's brewed here so it doesn't taste as nice!!!
Standard Aussie beers and the Aussie brewed European ones seem very bland and mediocre to me. There are some quite good premium Aussie beers around though. I can't handle mid-strength beers here, they all taste crappy to me. XXXX full strength lager or bitter I find quite okay, but the gold has no flavour in my opinion. Still, we all do have our own taste preferences. If you enjoy XXXX Gold, that's all that matters really.

I tried VB about 30 years ago, back in NZ and it seemed great, but the stuff today that's made here is very disappointing. There used to be a beer called Tooth's KB Lager years ago. It was greats tuff from memory, but sadly no longer around.

Hi Caroline. ramifications are that if you drink enough beer you will get pissed! And if we all drink the Aussie made European beers, we will never see the genuine article back on the shelves of the bottle shops.

It's fine to like Aussie beer. My objection is that we can no longer get the genuine Carlsberg, Tuborg, Carling, Becks and Stella Artois here, as they are now all produced locally and taste nowhere near as food as the original European Brewed version.
