Yep, Fat-Yak is very nice. It's on tap at a number of pubs in St Kilda at the moment including the Espy I think.

Also, I love:
Squires Golden Ale,
Shipstones Crew (Aldi) which doesn't seem to be available any more
Miller Chill for a really hot day
Any wheat beer
Lots of wheat beer
Did I mention wheat beer?

As a quaffer or a beer for working on the car or the bikes, I really like Boags Draught, but I find that more than 4 and I get a crackerjack headache the next day - moreso than from any other beer except VB which I haven't drunk in a long time as it's repulsive - so that means I don't drink the Boags much.

Why do they need to put so much preservative in a high volume, high consumption beer?

You must have confused taste buds. La Trappe tastes nothing like Hoogaarden

Fat Yak is nice. If you like that you should try Alpha Ale

After 30 years of drinking all sorts of domestic and imported beers including some of the wild concoctions they come up with at Jurds at Wollombi, the Tooheys New on tap at the Mangrove Country Club has to be the BEST.

Don't mind Carlton Draught, usually down Toohey's Extra Dry but love the Toohey's Platinums (got a bunch in the fridge waiting). Not a massive beer drinker but will always be keen for a few here and there

It is interesting you say that - I've found Boags Draught to be better out of a bottle than from a Tap. I've had it a couple on tap, mainly because it rates better than Carlton Draught/VB/Toohey's Draught, however I usually come away disappointed. I still love Coopers Pale Ale on tap. Probably the best tap beer, slightly ahead of Kilkenny.

Yes Coopers Pale Ale is a very good on tap beer. Widely available generally too which is good. Only very rarely do i find LC of any kind on tap...JS is more likely (love the JS lager this summer...). I think Coopers PA is better on tape then in a bottle funny enough....

Never had CPA on tape. I take it you swallow the tape, and the beer runs down it, and straight into your stomach, bypassing that annoying stage of tasting and then swallowing the beer. That's a great idea Keelan. Australia's drunk population will love you.

I have to say, I find it strange with Boags Draught, as it is the only beer that I have sampled both on tap, and in bottle that I prefer the bottled variant, and I've had a bloody lot of beer in my time. You haven't lived unless you've had a big night at a German Cafe (like the Lowenbrau). I was a regular at the one in Sydney many years ago.

Recently had both Fat Yak and Little Creatures Pale Ales on hand...

Both great drinks, but Little Creatures won for me. More flavour with same hoppy finish.

Both are well worth it though.

Coopers for the price is bloody good...just like Cascade Amber Ale was...stupid Green Hippies beers and low-carb garbage!

You see, i just noticed that typo and i thought better of correcting it...after all the 'mature' readers of this thread would realise it was a small spelling error.... So much for 'mature' readers hey andrew? Still, i'd be up for that system...it means you can buy really cheap rubbish beer and still consume it without tasting anything....it would make VB palatable....well maybe not quite...

I think most beers are better on tap (NOT tape) but you need to consume them properly. If you get one at a restaurant off the bar's tap then the waiter mucks it around and it doesn't come out cold enough etc. etc. Maybe i just find a nice cold beer (in a glass!!) from a bottle nicer with the company of mates at home in front of the telly then with screaming hords of bums at the local....

Then again, the first time i tried LC (on tap it was) was still the best it has ever tasted....

I detected a bit of a 'stronger' lingering aftertaste with fat yack versus most other good pale ales too. Not saying that is bad just that i don't prefer it in my beers so much (fine with an aftertaste as it goes down but don't want to taste the beer for the next hour if you know what i mean).

Coopers is good for the price but if you really stingy i think its Boags FTW. Its dirt cheap (esp on sale) and not bad drinking. Dont get me wrong its no LC, Squires etc. but much much better than similarly priced main stream swamp water (VB etc.). My old man got a carton of Boags premium light for $34....XXXX (including low carb 'summertime'..yuk) was $33, yeah tough choice.... The Boag's light is one of the best lights out there...as a bit of a nutty finish to it....

Brisbane Bitter, and Powers were the only 2 beers that I could never actually drink. Out of a million others, thats not bad odds. Other than that, what can you say about beer.
I have got one of those "motivation" pictures on my fridge...,Image of a Pub, rainbow appearing to alight on it with the caption.. "BEER, God wants you to drink it"
If God wants it, who am I to anger him/her??

Yes, La Trappe is really nice, Boss gave Dad a pack with the single, double and tripple, Dad gave me the single and I liked it. Where can I buy more from? Thanks.

As far as "quaffing beers" go, I know Carlton draught isn't great but having been given a 6 pack and accidently leaving it in the freezer for two hours, it is easy enough to drink on such a hot day like this, even out the can. I would never actually buy it though

Going to give a newie a go tonight (once it gets cold!)

The RAT bitter ale, brewed by The Rebellion Brewery right here in Ballarat using all local ingredients. Hopefully it's a goer, supposedly made the same was as beer was in the old Ballarat Brewery many a year ago.

What the hell is the single?

La Trappe have a Dubbel (my fave), Tripel, Quadruppel, Witte Trappiste, Bockbier, and the limited 2009 special release, Isid'Or (Vintage Cellars at Pinewood only bought a total of 24 bottles (700ml)...I bought six of them).

I have had them all except the bockbier.
I would like to try it so if anybody knows where it is, just let me know.

This is a good beer, a VERY good beer.

Quite bitter and has a very old style taste (they managed it!) almost like something from the Squire stable but with something extra that to me actually puts it above. I will be getting into this stuff.

Btw don't look for this until at least next month as you won't find it. It currently is only available here in ballarat but will be going national next month.

Fat Yak and Little Creatures are great beers, but Mountain Goat is the king! Hightail Ale is awesome, and the new Steam Ale which replaces the old Pale Ale is also really good.

I was not a big fan of their Lager Keelan. It was disappointing, however in the same session, I had Squire's Golden Ale, and Coopers Pale Ale. I am a big fan of both.

Have you explored the Matilda bay range Keelan? Big Helga is average, but they've got a couple of other standouts, including Red Back, and their Pilsner is up there with Squire's. The one from Matilda Bay that I am looking for, is their Alpha Pale Ale. I just can't find it.

I used to drink the usual stuff until a few years ago when I realised I should drink what I want and not what is affordable, so now I'll give anything a go with some sort of recomendation (usually from my local publican Joe) at the moment I'm drinking Coopers Red "a nice drop" but do have a soft spot for Little creatures Rodgers on tap at little creatures.... to me it never tastes the same from stubbie

Have you explored the Matilda bay range Keelan? Big Helga is average, but they've got a couple of other standouts, including Red Back, and their Pilsner is up there with Squire's. The one from Matilda Bay that I am looking for, is their Alpha Pale Ale. I just can't find it.
Agree on the lager. It is not 'right'. They have a more traditional crisp/clear european lager (88 i think is its name) but i got the straight up 'barons lager' and it is quite strange for a lager. Its very hoppy, and tastes almost like a flat Fat Yak. Given i prefer LC or Squires over Fat Yak anyway well....

As for the Pale Ale it wasn't bad. More body then the lager but a very similar finish. I think i got if for around $10 a six pack so much cheapr then the top level stuff.... Niether beer was very impressive on the palate straight up really....its no LC.

Matilda bay well as i said fat yak, and beez neez (think the latter is pretty overated IMO but then again i dont' like wheat beer), i really want to try the red back but forgot to look for it on my last trip. Will look for their pilsener too if you say it is up there with squires.
