VB or VB gold in can or stubbie

Carlton Draught on tap.

I don't like the dry or cold filtered beers, carlton cold tastes like dirty water although that japanese beer Ashai (?) dry isn't bad.

Kilkenny in the 440ml can with the nitrogen widget is pretty good.

Bud in cans from the bottlo is tasty for a change.

West End, Southwark (do they still make that?) and Emu anything is utter cats piss. XXXX drank on a hot day in Qld on tap is quite drinkable, it doesn't travel well at all though.

Crown, if someone else is buying, just Carlton Draught in a funny bottle

Tooheys Old is a top drop, similar to Carlton Black, sort of half stout and half beer, best on a cold day with stodgy food.

Guinness on tap is average in Australia, in the 440ml cans with the widget it's better. In a stubby of longneck it's a meal. just a dash of lemonade required on a hot day.

I like beer.

I like Tooheys Extra Dry and anything imported NOT "brewed and bottled under licence"

In mass-market beers: Cascade, Boags, XXXX, Tooheys Old, then anything except that South Australian muck.

More specialist beers, well, lots of variety is good, I'll try anything but I like Fat Yak.

Many of the European beers are good (all the usual suspects apply).

Americans don't make beer, they make awful muck that I wouldn't scrub the bottom of a parrot's cage out with. Well, there are probably some decent ones, but Millers is carp and Bud is appallingly bad. I've drunk better home brew than Bud. Hell, I've spat out and vomited better than Bud.

Kilkenny when I can get it on tap, and as Stui said the nitro cans are great, too. I tend to go Heineken when I'm out and the menu is limited.

Tsingtao is probably my favourite Asian beer:

Of the three main local cheapies I generally go Cass:

I wish I had access to the range of UK ales, though Sad

Peroni's are pretty good.

I've been enjoying Boags a bit lately.

Its always hard to go past a Crownie, and a corona with a bit of lemon on the hottest of summer nights

With the cost of local beer going through the roof no wonder we are drinking more imported beer. I try anthing these days, it just depends on how much is in the wallet and the weather.

Kirin I like and I had James Squires 150 lashes last week and did not mind that. I had a crack at "Speckled Hen" from the UK, at $22 a six pack they can shove that. Shocked
