Great topic - looking forward to seeing all the different responses.

I like a larger, something crisp and not too bitter...

For years I used to stick to Carlton Cold, then Pure Blonde, but then they changed the acohol content (and the taste), so I started trying other brews...

Now I just go to the local BWS and see what's on special, Stella, Budwieser, Heineken etc and see where that takes me... Most recently, I have been getting into Millers (US) and SOL (Mexico)...

Billabong Pale Ale (BPA)... Highly recommended. Think hops, like Little Creatures Pale Ale (mmmmm)... Think it is ~$66 for 24, retail, selected bottle-o's... Make your own has just gone up (), but is pretty good at $180 for ~140 stubbies - depending on the keg, and how thirsty you get while bottling and brewing

A mate of mine left me a block of VB cans when he moved house and cleared out his beer fridge. I have to say, being free is probably the only reason I can handle drinking it.

LC Pale Ale is my beer of choice. This Billabong Pale Ale you speak of Mr. Pugwash - is that one of the You-Brew-It recipes? I am a big fan of DIY breweries.

By memory this was a Northern Brown Ale, an imitation of Newcastle Brown, from You-Brew-It. It was a bit smoother than Newcastle too, a very tasty drop. I think I drank about 150 bottles of it in less than 2 months:

I used to brew my own ale from scratch and loved it. Still got all the gear but never seem to have the time any more.

There are some wonderful ales around but my current favourite is Fat Yak. Had it by chance on tap down in Melbourne... YUM! Good standby that's not too expensive and always easy to find is Coopers Pale Ale.

I don't favour lagers so much any more but I do love Pilsner Urquell. Can't beat the smell of the Saaz hops in that. Most Czech lagers I've tried are pretty good (and defintely better than most German stuff I've tried) but PU is way above them all.

Definitely NOT any Little Creatures stuff! Sorry, just can't stomach the Cascade hops they use.

I love beer.
My usual tipple is a Guinness.
Its the zen of beer. Well balanced thick creamy and represents unity
Some very very clever old ads out there for guinness.

Guinness is good too, although we prefer Coopers Extra Stout. Stouts are also ales...

BTW, GreenPat... can't you read. The bottom bin says VEGETABLES!

Guinness and anything Tasmanian... we were on holiday there last Easter and I was overly influenced by the "Buy Tasmanian" campaign.

Beer I'm drinking right now....
If you like Beck's or Heineken then Peroni is highly recommended for you





Beer that can only be bought occasionally because six is never enough.

I go through phases, after going to the Waifs concert at Freo last year where (from memory) the only beer you could get was pints of Litttle Creatures Pale Ale, I was stuck on that for a while.
There may have been something else available but the first pint of pale tasted so nice thats all i wanted, and they just got better.

Lately though it has been the LC Bright Ale.

Don't mind a Guinness as well, particulaly at this time of the year.

Errmmm... from Billabong... think we said that at the top

All you need is a set of bottles and a fridge big enough to take your share of the beer. We usually brew in a group of three. 45-47 stubs each. Takes about an hour and a half to brew and bottle.

Brew must be fermented for two weeks, then ready to go... We always brew as we bottle - always another brew to pick up after the ones we have are done

Oh, and save $150 off every 11th brew! One of the team (kitesurfer) and fat pugsie bottled the freebie recently... 70 beers for 10 bucks

i would say taking that photo would have been thirsty work, thus the missing beer.

Had a Kilkenny last night, fine drop.

Feral Brewery - make a great white ale, won awards before they even bottled it.
Matild Bay - following the groundbreaking success of Redback - now producing the FatYak Pale ale, 8.5 out of 10!
Coopers - Red or Green, i dont discriminate.
Saporo - If i can afford it!
Whienstephaner - They have been making it since the 1800's!
Matso's - Mango Beer/ ginger Beer, both absolutley neccessary to un-pickle your mouth in summer after hours of salt water ingestion.

Sooo many more!!

Used to feel the same way about 10 yrs ago but not sure if they have soured the JB recipe.. or I am gettin old.

Still quite partial to ice cold Corona - definately doesn't kick my head in the morning. So good on a hot day, beach side, post kite.. etc etc .

Used to keep stocks of Newky brown turning over in Perth and still love a widget Guinness in winter.

I'm into the idea of U-brew it but don't have a fridge big enough to stock the preservative free U-brew beers. Pity, the ones I have tried are pretty bloody good.


EDIT: Forgot to add a nice Asahi now n then. Bloody exxy on tap! Tastes deluxe tho. Very moor-ish.


Hey Pat - I had 4 Carlton draught stubbies that a friend brought over and left in the fridge for nearly 2 yrs and I reckon it tastes better than VB (liquid soap) so I understand your problem.

Oustanding fridge there Pat. Tres envious.
