I don't mind Fat Yak or a couple of Coopers brews. Their "Extra Strong Vintage Ale" was a cracker! I won't get in to "best beer" arguments as taste is a lot of different things to different people. I mean, what's wrong with fresh oysters? Nothing!
Just enjoy what you drink & remember "Moderation is For Monks"

Sparkling ale is refreshing but Im a Coopers Pale man myself.

Coopers is still today the sole major brewer 100% owned by Australians

James Squire 150 lashes, white rabbit white ale, Tasmanian beers, an ice cold pot of draught on a hot day after a big day at work:).
I mainly like the lighter beers (NOT light beer)

[Chenz]

Coopers Clear is my current favourite, Coopers Pale Ale is a staple and I just had a carton of Cascade Lager which was really good.
Tooheys Old in the winter is a good drop as well

[Stuck]

John Boston pale ale and the golden ale's OK too.

Me too. Most disappointed when they stopped making it the first time. Then production was restarted but the product was changed in an attempt to broaden its market appeal by making it a lighter taste.

I did really like XXXX Games Special which was put back into short term production as Special Brew.

On the odd occasion I have a beer these days - Boags Premium. :D

[Landy Smurf]

I have only just started drinking beer in the last six months(couldn't afford rum anymore :( ).
I started on VB and then went to Tooheys Old and dont mind Carlton dry and duff beer.

[rar110]

Full strength - Boags premium
Mid strength - Gage Pilsner

Great beers. I mostly only buy Gage.

[460cixy]

Coopers sparkling or pale James squire golden ale sheaf stout or reschs pilsner the sheafI mainly drink in winter.

[dungarover]

Mostly XXXX because it doesn't give me a wicked hangover if I drink a ****load of it then only reason. The say they call it XXXX because Queenslanders can't spell beer...LOL!!!


Like Tooheys but I feel I'm recovering from an autopsy if I have too many.


VB or venereal bitter no thanks, Carlton Dry is Ok and draught I don't mind either.


The wankey stuff not a fan of it. Not that I don't like it but beer is beer who gives a ****!!

I have to agree with Robbo. It's good value for money too. Must be a bit careful with the rate of consumption though. It's a little stronger than most Australian beers.

[Redback]

Just my opinion, but I really cannot tell the difference in taste between XXXX, VB, Tooheys New, Carlton Cold/Draught, Fosters and Crown Lager, as far as I'm concerned, Crown Lager is Fosters with a fancy label and different bottle, that way it sells here.

Thankfully brewers like the guys at Malt Shovel(Tooheys) and Coopers are still brewing in the traditional style, and realise drinkers like the taste of hops and malt in a beer.

AND, thank goodness for craft brewers, there's so many now, some good, some very good and some bad, but it's good when touring, you can find a craft brewary almost anywhere now, especially in country Victoria:twobeers:

I'm talking Australia only

When I was in Melb. a few weeks ago we got to know about a little brewery in Croydon called The Public Brewery The Public Brewery (http://thepublicbrewery.com.au/)
So naturally we had to try a 'few':angel:.
In short great beers and great place.
Tried their Citra pale ale and their Galaxy amber ale on tap and both are very good beers.

These little boutique/micro breweries are such a refreshing concept if you like trying different beers and as I do brew yourself.
The young head brewer there is more than happy to take you around and show you the brewing process.
Alll in all a bloody nice change to the mainstream mega breweries and an insight into what beer used to taste like before streamlined mass production.

Cheers,:beer: Hmmm

[V8Ian]

I can't recommend this one, neither worked :(

[murray]

I must admit I am a Coopers pale Ale man myself, however with the explosion of mico breweries and range available even at BWS I often just buy anything a bit different to try and enjoy the experience of a new taste.
I was a fan of Red Back wheat beer but I have not seen it in a long time. Are they still making it?

[winaje]

Tooheys Old, used to get it from the Eaglehawk Pub just over the border from the ACT on the way to Sydney, was at 1.5deg C into the glass.

Yes still around, nice beer too, Dan Murphy is the best place for Redback and other craft beers.

Yeah, but a limit of 1 per customer when you spent more than $100 on your shopping - which I just had.

There's been a lot of good beer mentioned . Just now and again I think an ice cold Guinness can make a nice change !!..Jim :)

If you're in Ireland then yes, but the kegged stuff in Australia is brewed here and doesn't have the same flavour. The canned stuff is brewed in Ireland and has a better taste IMO. :)

[Orkney 90]

Is it just me, or is it getting virtually impossible to get the proper imported Guinness? I have been looking high and low, and no-one in Western Sydney seems to be stocking it. Is there a world shortage of genuine Irish Guinness that I don't know about?

That is why I went for the Cascade Export Stout. A very enjoyable drop nonetheless.

[Saitch]

I found this in my travels. Rated highly with the BIL too. Up there in % too.
The highest decent beer we found on our scientific testing was "La Buffoon" at 14.5 %.:o An apt name, perhaps!

[Ferret]

Another travel beer. Not my 'favourite' because I can't get it here but if it was on the shelf locally I'd be a buyer.

No shortage, it's readily available in Vic, it's my current preferred drop. :) I don't drink it on tap as per my previous post, but my local Foodworks stocks the imported stuff, as does Liquor Land here - maybe give them a try?

[ramblingboy42]

I've been a confirmed Coopers drinker since around 1973.

I brew most of their recipes of the month.

I usually have Coopers Clear in the fridge...chilled with a twist it's perfect on a hot day.

If I'm near an Irish pub its usually Kilkenny with a short raspberry dash.....yummo.

My favourite ever beer has been an Irish one called Beamish Red.....which is very hard to find anywhere on tap.

I'm very patiently waiting a few more weeks before I taste my latest brew which is Coopers Recipe of the Month for September.....Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale!
