AMEN BROTHER AMEN!!!

Ive also noted another trend. The people on here who seem to be the manly men all seem to have one thing in common. Beers of choice are either.

1) Coopers Sparkeling Ale (its a meal and a beer in 1)
2) Homebrew

My self, #1 is stacked 4cases high in the spare room, and homebrew is in the shed.

Someone mentioned Belgium beer before?... I was in Czech Rep over the new year.. The beer was to die for! And cheap as! A pint was around the equivalent of 80c AU.(NOT in Prague though, where prices have skyrocketed)
Gambrinus was the most common, and a top drop! There was also Primator which at 12% really knocked your socks off!

[borry]

bundy.... oh wait, beer ?

i had one a few years back, XXXX thirsty dogs!

i have no idea where they went! but are now no longer available, what the hell ? it was the best thing xxxx ever made..... sooo soo angry..

[GTP 320]

The list should have included a larger variety of Beers ,you've missed the Cascade Premium one of the best along with Crown and good old Carlton Draught from the tap.
Cheers John

[davocol]

Any of the James Squire range, golden ale, india pale ale, porter Fantastic think I might go grab one now. Also had Cascade Draft on Tap in Tassie over the weekend bloody sensational drop, there tap beer is so much better than what we have here.

Absolutely 100% agree with you. I don't understand why people like Crownies so much. For the dosh there are heaps better Beers out there. I wouldn't even buy it if it were the same price as Vic (which I don't like either)

As for my fav beer. At the moment it's probably San Miguel, but it changes by the week. _2:

[needturbo6]

There are also some very nice beers from poland, only come in 500ml bottles and 5.6% upwards. It can be hard to find but well worth it, im gonna have to go on a search soon...

Belgian beer (as opposed to what many people are calling Belgium Beer you uncultured drunks!!) is definitely the nectar of the Gods. Monks, bless their hearts, who brew strong ales to blow your head off. Beers with taste, cheap to buy and don't murder you the next morning. Sensational. Heaven is a Belgian Bar.

mmmm Guinness (tm), Nectar of the Gods (tm).

Another worth mentioning is Cascade Pale Ale. Some mates in the S.A GT Club drink it and I got a taste for it over there. Good stuff.

Well Said Austin!

Jeses are they overrated BIG TIME! I'd sure make my own podium and shake one up.

PS didnt realise that this thread was like 5 pages long already. And i chose corona too.. The best out of a terrible selection.... And NO, i dont put lemon in it.

Ahhhh finally a man with taste!!! If i have to drink a beer i tend to lean towards Carlton Midstrength's or if im rich Corona. BUT nothin beats an ice cold Bundy Rum!! Mmmm Nectar of the gods! :baby bott

[xr8ute]

I am not a real big beer drinker, but any of the Coopers or James Squire range taste great. Boags is another that goes down well...

They have a couple of good beers at "Five Islands" micro brewery at WIN Stadium in Wollongong.

[XRQTOR]

Cascade premium or crownies for me, if we manage to damage any at work ill drink Sapporo its a Japanese premium beer. Comes in huge tins that almost look like buckets tastes pretty good to.

[Danny]

Actuall I'm gonna go more in depth here cuz I cant beleive how mainstream some of you are when it comes to beer! Id have to put my top five something like this:

1: Tiger Beer (Singapore) What a sweet beautiful drop it is indeed! If it wasn't for the fact that its so hard to get, id become an Alco on it. Its my favourite 100 times over. Nectar of the gods indeed.

2: Asahi Dry: Freakin awwesome beer coming in close second to my beloved tiger, its easier to get so its my regular drop. Was No.1 before I found tiger. One place in melbourne you can get it on tap is 'the Lounge' in swanston street. Much nicer straight from the keg as thats how it comes straight from the land of the red sun..

3: Amstel: Its nice. yeah I like It

4: Stella Artois (belgium). Big fan of it cuz its the mainstream club beer really. Its usually the only beer on tap (along with Becks, draught and Cascade light) when youre out partying (depending on where you go) so it gets a mention here

5: Singha (Indonesian). Good beer that, Little bit similar to tiger, very asian taste about it, but a great thirst quencher nonetheless! Gotta love those stumpy bottles

Also worth a mention is Becks, lovely drop that! Carlton cold, and Fosters Export (EXPORT ONLY). Kilkennys nice, and so is Jim Squire Amber ale. (We sell it on tap at my work along with stella and heineken, which also deserves a meantion)

VB is Shit, Carlton Draught is shit, and so are crownies.
If fosters export is crown lager (which i've heard as well), then the fosters bottle makes it taste nicer, as its one of my favourite aussie beers hahaha.
I dont mind coopers eaither.

Having said all this, jeeze i need a beer!
cheers :

: Hey.. (Hic)....I'm bloody well (Hic) cultyard!! Who you calling uncultyard (Hic) :

[One Drone]

Mexican's don't drink corona's with lemon's at all. They hate it in fact..

[MrFlibbles]

as long as there is alcohol in the beer, its my favourite!!!!

[Dave_au]

What, no Steinlager!

Oh yeah, I've also heard that Heinikin is fully imported..... from NZ.

[bafel]

For all you euro beer fans, try kronenberg 1664, its tops! and san miguels good too.
for an everyday beer, it has to carlton draught. VB tastes like its been left in the sun for too long.

haha... Charlie next time you're near a Dan Murphies pick up a Leffe or a Chimay. I think they're around $6.00 a stubbie but the taste of it in a close to 8% alc beer is amazing!

Heinikin is made by Tooheys in Sydney now.

[TheSneakiness]

There was this one I had in a German restaurant, was a stout of some sort, tasted like old boots, I just liked the look of the bottle, which I have at home. Almost caused me to crash my beloved ute into my beloved EA (tm)

[jwr]

Have a crack at Little Creatures Pale Ale (from W.A.). The people who originally made Redback, Dogbolter etc produce this awesome home grown brew, not cheap, but worth it.
If you want to try an imported beer, Pilsener Urquell (meaning original) from the Chech Republic. Great hot weather beer, clean, crisp and hoppy.

other: Carlton Premium Dry, the best beer in the world....(from the ones ove tasted anyway...)

[mcflux]

Can't go past home brew! $40 for ten slabs... I've still got a mixed slab left over from two years ago (I am not a big drinker). I'd say that 95% of my beers turn out fine, with the odd bottle here & there turning out "bad". I got really mean headaches of my first couple of batches (back when I was in high school), but my most recent (2003) batches are quite drinker-friendly, and potent! :

I'm looking forward to brewing another half dozen or so slabs in the winter holidays coming up :

-Dave-

[TRBOETR]

I love Corona's. You cant go past a nice cold Corona. Only downside is the price.

[oneredED]

Cartlon Draught. Why? Because i can get slaughtered on it and come home at 4am, and then get up at 11:30am and have another with breakfast and not feel like chundering! I like Carton Draught, and the occasional Carlton Premium Dry slab (when on sale cheap). They do the job for a povo uni student. Oh, and Bravara (or however you spell it) is drinkable when it's cheap too.

I can't stand Carlton Cold or "coldies" as we called 'em when we were 15 and getting hammered on them when we went camping, only to throw our guts up all the next day. Tooheys New is worse than cat ****, and Fosters... well i can still remember the last fosters i tasted, and it was a VERY long time ago. I don't much like crownies either, but i can drink 'em if they're free and the only beer available.
