I happen to agree, but the real idiots are those that drink the ‘real ale’. Can you imagine a 30ft pipe from a deep and filthy cellar where the silly little barrel has been exposed to the filth for 24 hours or more? It’s authentic all right, authentic shit.
It does have advantages if you’re constipated and are living alone.

The majority of them are mindless morons and chavs who make the Sun readers seem quite intelligent by comparison, in addition they are the worst for littering the countryside with lager cans and take-away garbage.
Time to open up the old gun cabinet and declare open season on them methinks.

It's the Fosters drinkers that get on my wick.

Cellars have been the traditional and best beer storage locations for hundreds of years for very good reasons.
I doubt any dust or muck that may be down there is much worse than the floor behind the counter of many Spanish bars and in any event it has no access to the contents of the barrel.
As long as the pipes are maintained properly there should be no great problem.
I've come across much more bad beer and lager in Spanish bars without cellars, than I've ever come across in traditional UK pubs.

Well I have no great desire to honour them with my presence.

What most Aussies know about beer and lager you could write on the back of a postage stamp.
If it's ice cold and virtually tasteless they drink it, period.

Have you actually ever tasted any Australian beers? If so which ones, and please don't just go and Google names, I mean really actually tasted any.

Certainly none that were memorable and definitely none of the massed produced garbage that floods the World markets, most of which has little or no flavour, apart from a few that taste like something akin to month old washing-up water.

So thats a no. You really should try broadening your palate, Coopers do a sparkling ale that is, in my humble opinion, a revelation, and I could easily name half a dozen nice beers from Australia and about the same from New Zealand.

Not so sure about sparkling ale, doesn't sound quite right somehow and in any event I despise most over-gassed up beers and lagers.
