Hang on...We could be doing a massive dis-service to our country bagging Fosters like this...

They may end up having to sell the over-supply here because people cotton on that it is cr*p beer..

Fosters - I love the stuff, its great, can't get enough. Its just a pity they export all the good stuff and don't sell it here :!: :!: :!:

Coopers, any of these ie, lager ale etc.
Carlton Crown lager,
Far Nth Oueensland lager
Resch's Pilsener, an old style creamy pilsener
Cascade, in a drought
Happy sampling
JIM, do not be surprised if WW3 breaks out over beer. Australians are very parochial and a tad bigoted about beer.
cheers
Melb Bitter - well its better than Fosters & VB
Coopers - Agree...They're not bad
Crowny - Pretty Good
Far Nth Oueensland lager - Never heard of it....I hope your not trying to push XXXX. Coz that stuff is Camel's P*ss
Cascade - Not Bad

Some Others I'd recommend:
Toohey's Extra Dry
Little Creatures Pale Ale, If you can get your hands on it. Is a local WA Boutique Beer so may by almost impossible.
Swan Draught is OK
Carlton Premium Dry
James Squire, another WA Boutique beer
Boag's is not bad

Stay Away from:
Fosters
XXXX
West End
Emu
VB

I find it quite amusing that a FULL strength US beer has around 2% alcohol the same as a LIGHT Aussie beer.

No wonder when their Sailors come out here and get on the squirt they end up passed out in the gutters.
