Oz beer is Piss

[Eircamae86]

Got a reaction? :hehe:
Tried all the main stream brands in BWS etc, the only one I can find that does the job is the cheap import amsterdam & thats not the best.
As it says Discuss

[breno]

meh, are you from Ireland?
But yeah, Aus beer isnt the best, just like your everyday lager.

Your proberly more use to Ale's?
I kinda prefer them too.
I think its mainly due to the climate here, it's pretty damn refreshing opening up a cold one on a warm day haha.

[breno]

but saying that, its still 1000000000000000000000000000000000000x better than American Lager haha, thats piss.

[Wally]

Coopers Pale Ale.

Best beer, no preservatives / additives. Don't get a hang over the next day :)

[Konakid]

Coppers lager or dark ale > pale ale.

Tooheys New > all.

That's just straight out not true. Gives you a hang over and all the sediment in it makes you feel like shit.

We have over 80 different beers from around the world at our cafe restaurant.
The Place is called the Anchorage Hotel in Victor Harbor South Australia.
Depending on what your after there some very good beers from all around the world.
Belgium beer is consistently good no matter what brand. Some of the American beers show promise but you have to go for the hard to get boutique beers before they start getting quite good. They are doing some really interesting foref ront drawing over there. Double and triple fermenting as well as adding flavours like apple and orange to there brews.

In South Australia we have some really descent small breweries producing some great bears. Vale Ale, Pepper Jack Ale, and Knappstein are there really good beers to look up. Tassie does the best commercial beers by far, in my opinion of course. Try looking up Cascade Pale Ale pretty hard to get though.

[Axentrik]

Lol coopers pale ale is terrible. So fizzy and full of sediment. Drink a 6 pack and can't fit anymore in your stomach. Hahns Super dry ftw can drink cartonn upon carton and not feel bloated.

[Wally]

Everytime I have had Coopers Pale Ale, and been down right pissed. I have felt good the next day.

[marvis]

Beer gives me headaches most the time so I tend to steer clear from it.

[hilux05]

xxxx bitter or xxxx special brew.. man i miss that shit.. on a stinkin hot day, that stuff doesnt even hit the sides..

amsterdam is the worst fuckin shit i have ever drank.. i would probly rather drink actual piss then drink that shit....

[yoshimitsu9]

take a spoon full of cement and go get your self a carlton draught!

[Axentrik]

Xxxx is alongside vb and fosters in the running for worst beer ever.

[breno]

meh i can drink anything and enjoy it, beerwise.
Besides Millers, so bad, its like softdrink.

All i pretty much drink is super dry, can drink it all night and day.
When im poor i just buy xxxxgold or bitter, or just toohey's new.

But what i think is funny is when people say they love Asahi but hate xxxx gold, when they taste exactly the same, but i guess gold isnt jdm enough yo!

Give me chivers anyday though. I love scotch.

[all torque]

I love scotch.

Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.

__________________________________________________ _______

I went to a party in Melbourne a few weeks ago, where all the older guys (40+) were happily drinking VB, (when other beer was readily available.) I can't believe how highly that stuff is regarded by Victorians. It's as if they stomach it just because it's made in their home state.

[Eircamae86]

On the Amsterdam tonight, didnt mean to offend your nation by calling your beer piss :hehe: Had a fairly empty looking carton of Carlton at my side at the time.

[dr1ft-pig]

pure blonde is win

[shinny]

i'm surprised no one has mentioned cooper's sparkling ale,
as far as beers go its fairly nice

[svenmate]

pure blonde is win

+1. Good stuff.

I am a corona man though.

it's also a toyota model :P

[Konakid]

pure blonde is win

You get over it pretty quick. I did.

Coopers stout tonight was alright, don't mind it.

Tooheys new is dope. Whoever says not is a failure. loljks'nt

[Eircamae86]

I still cant believe that the Brits actually like fosters, its in most pubs over there, mind you they also drink Carling etc

[driftke70]

i drink mainly tooheys new,

drank fosters for along time, people get caught up in the cool to hate side of things with it though because they like telling people the story about how noone even drinks it in australia, not through tasting it and not liking it, but following the crowd.

if its in a clear bottle i wont drink it,

my fav beer is dos equis, been to mexico, drank corona, got laughed at and they bought me a round of dos eccys, been in love ever since. If you ever see it, buy it.

[Eircamae86]

If you ever see a big bottle of Erdinger, try that its a German Weiss beer or clear beer

[breno]

fuck corona is the worst drink in the world.
I mean be a man, drink some fucking beer.

Not a beer with abit of fucking lemon in it.
Would you like a new tampon?

I dont really buy 6packs.
6 tally's tonight, oh extra dry:oh::hehe::rolleyes:
or just i ussually buy a carton of either coopers pale ale, sparkling ale, or just superdry.
or just buy tally's of superdry, tooheys new or 4x bitter.
i know its hard for some people to comprehende but i auctually like guinness.
not because no one else likes or, or because its imported i just like it haha.
goes down smooooth.

Now im finishingo ff some rum which i really dislike but meh, there not mine.
they were in the fridge and we just fiished going for a ride, so why not.

but fuck...corona?

i wish i had some scotch

[skaney]

There is so much fail in this thread...


If your into lager style beers and not ales/stouts etc

czech beer shits on all..

There are some good aussie beers.. just steer clear of the usual junk. James squires quite nice.. coopers may be over rated, but its still a great beer, is brewed properly and stays south aussie and wont sell out

Most of the 'imported' beers in aus you get these days are brewed here.. Same as the UK, same as Ireland

The beers you guys drink in Ireland arent too much better.. generally if your not drinking guiness, your drinking light lagers selling as imported but brewed in IRL (ie, heiniken)

I was happy when I found a place round the corner from my house in Ireland that sold 6 packs of coopers sparkling for 10euro..

[flamingheads]

Hammer and tongs anyone? Cheapest beer out there, now available in a can.
Sometimes it tastes impossibly good to me and sometimes tastes like urine.
Good times

[AJPS]

Tasman bitter (hard to find) is BY FAR the best vaule for money full strength.

$30-33 will get you a cold carton and it is the best by far until you get into the $49.99 region.

After that, super dry and tooheys new are good. Squire and

Im not that fond of the Heineken, becks, carlsberg style beer when they were imported and even now theyre brewed here and sold for $39 a carton.

My least favourite is Carlton Draught, it is horrible.


I used try to try every different beer and drink imported italian and japanese stuff, but i much prefer aussie beers now, cheap and simple.

[skit]

A personal favourite at the moment is "Rogers". You should find it in Dan Murphies, or BWS.

Brewed by Little Creatures in WA, from memory.

It's actually a mid strength; which I think is great, because you can enjoy more of it before you begin to forget what's special about it.

Anyway, for everyone who is not a "VB/NEW/XXXX til you die" drinker, I recommend trying it.

[Robo86]

tooheys extra dry platinum is the only beer i would ever let pass down my throat.

[JUG-HEAD]

1. super drys
2. corona's (no lemon/lime)
3. stella artois
4. teds on tap
5. and what evers cheap on the night/happy hour

[blair]

superdry.
james squire.
boags premium.
exdra dry platinum.

[shift_rook]

yeah little creatures, squires, i hate to admit it but i can throw vic bitters down like you wouldn't believe

[Eircamae86]

Cant let an old beer thread die,

[Konakid]

Bought another carton of tasman bitter yesterday, 35 bucks, nothing can touch it for the price.

shits on west end, VB, carlton draught etc etc.

[MeZ Prod]

VB
Crownies
Big Head (No carbs burleigh brewed beer yo)
Super dry

Pretty much drink it all
Drink VB a fair bit and dont mind the taste but my favorite is Tooheys Pils
and have come accustom to

[Chaos Theory]

1. Coopers 62
2. Coopers Sparkling Ale
3. Tooheys New
4. Hahns Super Dry
5. Corona

[driftke70]

been pretty much nailing down carlton draught and tooheys new for a while now. With the odd case of dos equis when i have the cash.

Seems like you guys are getting pretty ripped off in SA.
I usually pay around 40 to 45 for a box of 30 cans of new.
Or 38 to 40 for a case of draught.

One thing id like to point out as someone who drank vb for a long time.
It tastes soo much better in the can than stubby.

Bought a case of fosters for the chrissie period. Going down so good.

[Eircamae86]

Have been on the XXXX for the past few days (OLD pressies) & have tried the Crown lager tonight, dont think I will have 20+ empty bottles to clear in the morning, like the last few.
Still cant believe that XXXX is so popular.
Must try the Tazmans.

[todd]

my top 5 for all occasions

1. little creatures pale
2. coopers pale
3. coopers sparkling
4. VB
5. mad monk (the darkest one)

[skizzamods]

the bottle shop i work at gave me a 6pk of a german beer called karlsucher moninger pilsner which i quite enjoyed

but i'm into coopers pale at the moment

+1 for the platinums too

[fantapants]

im a total skirt.... work even has free beers after 5 everyday.... cant touch the stuff. Everyone looses there shit when the boss comes in with a case of leffe....


i swapped my tampon for ciders.... and creek... and saki. Found out at the christmas party i like saki. who'da thought...

[Eircamae86]

Im on the crown lager tonight, not so bad.
Saki can be nice, ever try Asahi, its Japanese beer & expensive as fcuk, but it is also OK

[Gunner]

saki is just plain evil

[fantapants]

i made a night on saki and kept my clothes on :)

bredans quote of asashi and xxxx being the same..... awful. the only good thing in xxx is the xxx :)

[Gunner]

I was up at jambo a couple years back, and got to go to this pimp jap karaoke bar, where these import chicks sing for you and poor drinks and shit, pretty pimp, I got on the saki, lasted an hour before I was removed from the premises by some big scary jap machine bloke.

It was fun.

[Chaos Theory]

asahi is great.

[Konakid]

you get over it pretty quick

its nothing special and its fucking expensive. Not worth the coin.

[Chaos Theory]

it's not that expensive.

[Javal]

The following are on high buying rotation for the funkyfridge:

Boags Pure
Boags Premium
Coopers 62
Peroni
That black and gold bottle Miller Draught stuff.

[Eircamae86]

$63 for 24 last time I looked

All depends where you shop.

I have a secret little bottleshop that sells, on average, $5 below BWS price per 6pack, $10 below BWS price per carton.

[Eircamae86]

Just found these in the kitchen, must resist or there will be no work completed on the car tomorrow, to find out tune in tomorrow, or see if talk shite on here all night :hehe:

[Micknofx]

My favourite session beer of all time would have to be coopers pale, it's my standard go to beer. Sparkling is fantastic but not as consistent as pale (you can get some cartons that are amazing and some that are not - but still pretty damn good). I love both dark ale and stout but they're alot heavier so not as suited for drinking big.

I've been through most common beer types from most different bottle-o's to at least give em a go and everyone who's rating crap like errdinger and amsterdam doesn't get beer. Different companies (BWS,Dan Murphys etc..) all have their own selection of cheap, assorted, imported crap like that and none of them is really worth a mention.

I'm not a big fan of lighter lagers and that but I do love becks and to a lesser extent heineken, especially if you can track down fully imported euro-cans as opposed to the brewed under licence stuff.

King of the low carb pile for my would have to be extra dry, there isn't really another one that I like.

I love trying out more specialised imported beer, like all the stuff at the belgian beer cafe in adelaide for example - even if they do charge you like mad for it. and australian boutique stuff. You have to careful though as some 'premium botique' beers taste like bad homebrew. I rate the sunshine coast brewery's chilli beers which are sold at montezumas (mexican restaruant) here.

Finally my bad beer rant, the following beers can die - VB, XXXX, west end draught and..... crown lager. Crown larger is an average beer with premium pricing and marketing it is in no way worth what they charge or even very good.

for the record I have drunk and will probably drink again every beer I've bagged cause when you're at a party and theres nothing else in the fridge or if the $$'s are tight, what ya gonna do?

[Chaos Theory]

from what i've been told crown lagers are the shit from the top of a VB beer brew and we all know how bad VB is. i doubt it is true, but would explain why it is so horrible.

mick have you tried coopers 62 yet?

[Touge Boy]

extra dry platinum owns all beer.

QFT.

I cant drink pale anymore, I get really itchy and rashed up and shit. pretty devo, as that was part of my 5 food groups for quite a number of years. Only drink TEDS now... although now I really dont drink much at all.

Cant drink spirits... white or dark. Send me apeshit. Like charles manson homocidal bananas.:pinchme:

[Micknofx]

from what i've been told crown lagers are the shit from the top of a VB beer brew and we all know how bad VB is. i doubt it is true, but would explain why it is so horrible.

mick have you tried coopers 62 yet?

yeah tried coopers 62 it's pretty good but being a pilsner and a bit lighter it's not right up my alley. WHats with anming pilsners with numbers anyway? anyone remember west end 107?

[Chaos Theory]

i think coopers 62 is called that because coopers beer was founded in 1862.

what i enjoy about it is, the fact that it still has the same alcoholic content as other beers like pale ale, but it is much easier to drink and doesn't leave you feeling bloated and too full to finish a carton.

[driftke70]

sunshine coast brewery is right next door to my dads factory. Its not a bad drop.

Owner doesnt like skids though.

[Konakid]

LAWL.

I like Coopers Sparkling and rate the Coopers Lager too

[todd]

my choice for the evening:

http://www.beerstore.com.au/beerstore/uploads/beerImages/squire_pils_large.jpg

[benzo]

Coopers Sparkling is my choice atm

Been drinking so much Teds over the last week and I'm pretty over it

[ke70dave]

im not that much of a beer drinker, but ive tried quite a few different beers. and my thoughts are as follows.

corona: dunno what the fuss is all about, tastes ok, nothing special.
"cold" (fosters?): wasn't to bad, better than corona at least.
cascade: quite enjoyable, not to heavy, refreshing.
xxxx: this stuff tastes like dirt. i got a free one on a qantas plane the other day, i should have gone with coke...

rum/coke or jim beam/coke is what i like!

[benno93]

extra dry platinum owns all beer.

yes yes yes +1

barefoots are good,

if you are after something different, get dos equis, ill argue to the death that its the best beer youll drink .

[biggo]

if you agree with the ads they probably are.

Its the drink of gentlemen, and lets face it, we are all gentlemen on here

[benzo]

not yet, good stuff?

yeah, very good. So so good after drinking just teds for week

[Chaos Theory]

anything would be good after drinking teds. that shit is disgusting.

You should be Banned.:yeah:

Ive just hooked into a six pack of James Boags Premium Lager I got given @ Work... Im actually impressed. Really nice on the 40 odd degree day we had today. Went down way too easy.

[Micknofx]

Went to the bottle-o a few days ago for a carton and pale was too pricey so....

24X 500ml cans of amsterdam for me. Glad I put that little disclaimer at the end of my post from the other day :embarassed:

[todd]

hah i love the big cans of Amsterdam.many a good+cheap time has been had.

[redsprinter]

might get flamed for this but i drink budwisers & carlton druaght goes down alright . but get heap bloated the next day,.

coronas and pure blonde are meh .. . some of the jap beer i've had at sushi /jap joints are average.

[Eircamae86]

Im on the budweisers tonight myself, nice clean crisp taste,,, working on the car tomorrow. $ for $ there is no beating the amsterdam 500ml cans, havent had em for a while, they take a bit of getting used to as they have a very german taste to them, ive posted some of my finest posts after many of those babies.

[Micknofx]

For me bud's are okay but I find I can taste the rice in them way too easily/strongly. Don't know if it's a bad thing or not I just notice it alot.

[SEXY 16]

tooheys extra dry
all day every day

[ke55pig]

west end draught made in SA Aus or corona and thooeys extra dry best beers

[lo_rolla]

I fucking love beer.
I'll drink XXXX, XXXX Gold, Tooheys New, Hahn Super Dry, Pure Blonde.... etc etc.
I'll drink warm british ales, I'll drink thick rich Belgian beers.....
So long as it doesn't come in a clear or green bottle.
With the exception of Gosser, my fave beer on tap that I had in Mittersill, Austria after walking 15k's down the Autobarn (it has no foot paths, very interesting situation to be in) from catching rainbow trout all the day before.....
In Antwerp I had many great beers. Juliper, etc etc.
German beers, I can't remember the name of, Brau-Rup corn beer in Mittersil, the beer from Hofbrauhaus in Munich.........

I could go a beer right now, after all this talk.

But basically Corona, TEDS are the two beers I won't buy... but I'll drink 'em if they're free. Oh an VB... but then again if it's free.....

[Nicko]

I went over to the Feral Brewery in the Swan Valley (WA)

They have one called "Hop Hog" it was fair decent.

If I can't get a Corona, i'll settle for a Budweiser

BUT, the Yank Budweiser (off the tap) is tonnes better and I quite like it. I drank 3 litres in a sitting in April '09 at Medieval Times (Los Angeles). 2 x 1.5L glasses. Pic for proof attached. The cup next to it was a pintglass for scale !. Boss was paying, said he wanted to see me kill 3 litres in a sitting. Done ! I was pissed as a newt for the next 2 hours though.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/33976.jpg

But to answer the OP - OZ Beer is Piss... Especially VB. God I hate that shit. Still yet to see anything decent ever come out of victoria.

[Ae86sam]

Hahn Super Drys for the win...

And anything boags as well...

[driftke70]

hahn super dry are basically the only awesome new style beer.

[hachi_dk]

had a slab of carlton dry between me and 2 mates and i gotta say it was not bad at all

[letsgohunting]

- James squire golden ale
- Anything James Squire
- Amstel for when you feel like a corona - just as piss weak and easy to drink, but way better
- Japanese Kirin/Sapporo/asahi, not the australian made stuff under licence, although that stuff is still (only) ok. Special mention to the stout style sapporo - it's brutally good for a dark ass beer.

That's my selection for mid range stuff... For cheaper beers I like superdry and that's about it.

[blinded]

Carlton Dry stubbies are my weapon of choice at the moment. Also Super Drys are not far behind.

[Richard]

Schooner of Concreate.

Crownies are what im drinking.

I Believe if you can buy it in a can it aint worth drinking.

[driftke70]

where do you pull that shit from, cans reguarly taste better than bottles,

im drinking carlton dry at the moment, pretty good.

[Richard]

Cans make the beer taste like shit just the same as having beer in a glass thats was washed with dishwashing liquid when it should only be rinsed.
VB comes in a can so does XXXX, Toheys new......i rest my case

[Robo86]

hahah here we go

[Micknofx]

I prefer the taste of bottles but cans are rad cause they get cold so easily, are easy to open (who here has woken up with long paper cut type cuts down their thumb and finger from twist tops?), and if you're camping or whatever they can be crushed up to take up hardly any bin room.

Usually if I'm into cans I'm there for a sesh not just a nice brew or two with my dinner or anything

[blair]

Little Creatures. End thread.

[driftke70]

cans are good if you go up the beach, dont end up with beer through your bacon.

tooheys new is a great beer,

vb in a can is made in a different factory to their stubbies, and is a pretty good beer.
vb isnt a cheap nasty beer, people who are into light shitty beer just dont like it.

[lo_rolla]

I went over to the Feral Brewery in the Swan

I smashed 4 Steins and one 500ml beer at The Hofbrauhaus in Munich. Good thing was that some crazy yanky bastards bought 'em for us.

They were all like "are you guys Australian? We're gonna buy you a beer, you guys are like our only friends left in the world" and "I hope that Obama fuck don't win the election" ahaha.,
And one of them was lived in Aus for years, he fucking loved it. Was awesome talking to an american who reckons state of origin is as good as Superbowl... And drinks Aussie beer, gets it sent over to him in the states..

Beer with bacon sounds fucking good.

And I always thought the VB cans tasted better then the stubs.


Also on the subject of Jap beer, when I was there I liked Sapporo and Asahi, but not Kirin.

[n00bvak]

If you are shopping at chains to get good beer then you are doing it wrong. Chain stores are there to sell the stuff they can get for the cheapest price and distribute to all of aus. If you want good beer find an independent as they usually get a lot obscure stuff that you may not have heard of but tastes damn fine, or at worst a regional chain. BWS / Liquorland FTMFL.

1. Kilkenny (brewed in aus) best beer ever. none of that crap tasteless corona
2. Bees nees / red back (matilda bay brewery)
3. James squires Amber ale
4. Boags Draught (great for one the cheaper beers)
5. Carlton Dry Fusions (for those 40+ days in the pool when your half cut)

Thats for the stuff you should be able to get all over aus. WA has heaps of micro breweries such as little creatures, last drop, bootleg ... I could go on all day. And a lot of that stuff is sold in the smaller chains. I guess we are spoilt here

Just on last drop, they make an awesome Pale ale, can buy it at their drive through in a 5 litre mini keg for $32, and it is sooo dam tasty, very similar to hoegaarden. Little creatures stuff is pretty good too, although a little overpriced.

oh btw an excellent jdm beer Ebisu, Awesome name, great taste too.

Man 6 hours is too long to wait after all this talk of beer ... damn 12 hour days!

[Micknofx]

^ I agree bootleg brewery is awesome, aside from beer they make a killer BBQ sauce.

I love kilkenny too but I can't drink the stuff out of widget cans - kilkenny/guiness are strictly on tap only for me. Kilkenny more so than guiness pours flat straight out of the can, I know it's not meant to be the most carbonated of beers but it's just ridiculous.

[n00bvak]

caned kilkenny > no kilkenny :P

btw beer was great last night :)

That place is awesome was there last week there beer is great and it only came in steins. I love how in most of europe beer is cheaper than water

[Konakid]

99% of people who rip it never have drunk it

VB on tap is very good.

[skizzamods]

Moo Brew is such a win.

not suitable for bogans

+ Im in France at the moment. Beer is cheaper than water. Only problem is that the bottles are mostly 25cl's!!

Fishcer is fairly decent, and tastes similar to coopers sparkling.

yeah in germany in the town i was staying in a 500ml bottle cost about 40 aus cents, tasted awesome too

holy shit the govt taxes the fuck out of us

[fergie]

haha reading this thread made me need a beer something cronik so i got some tooheys new (herd from mate they were good) and there actually not bad but not as good as coronas

[shift_rook]

exactly right, lving beer atm, i know it's not beer but have been hitting zubrowka hard lately too, i don't normally like vodka but this shit is like nothing else, if you haven't tried it buy the best apple juice available put one part zubrowka to 3-4 parts real good apple juice and enjoy, take note it's pretty easy to consume the bottle so make sure you don't have to work the next day, fuck ssaturday morning for me sucked

[fergie]

ill have to try it some time but the real big question is what is the best apple juice around

[shift_rook]

i had it with australian fresh, i dunno you can have it with cheap apple juice too, i don't really like the taste of cheap apple juice though

[Jdm-Mcc]

Im trying to track down a beer i had at a triple j hottest 100 party once, it was a brown bottle with a blue and silver label was relatively cheap and was in a plastic shrinked cardboard based carton, twas good

[AJPS]

^ forget the name, but spreyton maybe

Tasmanian, possibly only sold at woolworths is the best commercially available.

Some of the apple juice ive had in adelaide hills is like vaginal nectar from a vegan virgin.

[shift_rook]

holy shit that sounds awesome, might have to box some up next time i get some parts off you then haha

yeah thats a pretty good vodka.

Try apple and canadian club 12 y.o.

I 'invented' it one night when I ran out of lemonade.

Its fucking good, sorta apple cinnamon with kick.

[shift_rook]

no shit, will do,w hever i ahve canadian club though i end up with a chronic hangover, now a hangover for me is usually more than a bottle but it only take half a bottle of that for me to be shit the next day

[AJPS]

get the 12 year shit + glass of water before bed

+ banana milkshake in the morning/afternoon

[blair]

Really digging some of the micro-brewery stuff coming out.

Top 5 at the moment:
- knappstein valley - needs no comment.
- Vale ale - ridiculous amount of subtle falvours, still picking up on them after a few 4 packs lol! (at almost $5 a beer, carton AINT CHEAP)
- James Squire Sundown - refreshing arvo bbq beer
- Little creatures Pale - Good pleasant beer that always pulls through
- Mountain Goat Steam ale - Hearty, cheap, and just a tiny bit left of centre.
