My Condolences To All Americans

Everyone knows American beer is terrible. However, it's not like Australian beer is all that great either.

I''m yet to find an Aussie beer better than Windhoek Larger or Weihenstephan.
Having said that, there's a Micro Brewery right on the beach here in Fremantle that does make an exceptional wheat beer.

Interesting article in the weekend paper here in Perth about Little Creatures, a boutique brewery in Fremantle and my favourite domestic beer.

They got their inspiration in the US where the boutique breweries were making pale ales. They worried if there was a market here because we only seemed to drink lagers. I don't know why it seemed that they never heard of Coopers who until relatively recently have been a lone voice in quality brewing, but there you go.

I like to buy differant beers from differant countries, just to try them, as well as the micro brewary beers of OZ.

I do too. Put down a Morgans Blue Mountain Lager with additional ingredients to give it taste similar to Boags Premium. It is only two weeks old but tastes very similar to Boags already. No preservatives , colourings, just pure malt, barley hops and brewing sugar. I even use filtered water so no chemicals.
Unlike commercial force brewed beers, home brew only improves with age.
When I'm forced to brink commercial beers I go for Boags, Beez Neez, Little Creatures & Cascade.
Cheers..B

No offence, but I didn't say all Americans drank Bud or did I say anything to hint that's all they drunk.

assuming again (sheesh):mad:

They need some of Baz's homebrew whiskey to wash the taste out with.

aussie owned....

1 word....

COOPERS

DIGGER

a friend of mine once woke up with a monumental hangover and a mouth resembling the proverbial bottom of the budgies cage.....

she grabbed the glass she saw beside her bed, and took one mouthfull.....

she still refuses to accept it was anything other than urine........ even given the few bud cans dtrewn around her house......

probably had the same alcohol content too.....

At least even the commercial aussie beers have flavour, the yank crap is like water. I like to taste what i'm drinking , i like Windhoek and even Amstel and Castle is not a bad drop. Even some of the east african beers taste better than most yank beers.
