I can't remeber drinking it, so i will not tell you wether it's good or not, just stating an interesting observation. It was big here in Australia in the early to mid 80's... and yet in the last 5 years you'd be hard pressed to find a shop that stocks it, let alone a pub.

Australia's top 3 would be:

VB (Victoria Bitter)
Tooheys New
Tooheys Extra Dry.

Some say Carlton Crown are the "elite Aussie beer"... matter of opinion i guess

best overal ive sampled has to be caffery's
its a stout like guiness but way smoother with no after-taste. really nice(only available on tap)

rolling rock is the best lower-priced beer.very easy going down and doesnt sit heavy...one of the best keg beers

Foster's... Australia's Bud?

Modelo... Italian Shoes?

I know, I'm being a smart-alec.

I don't drink much beer, but I like Newcastle's Nut Brown Ale. A lot of our local brews like Moose Drool and Head Strong Pale Ale are good. Fat Tire is another.

If you're out to get drunk quick, try a Canadian Bear F@#ker.

30ml OP Rum
30ml Jack Daniels
15ml Glava

all in a 7oz glass, and skull.
It's good for 3 things:

getting drunk very fast
killing brain cells
and degreasing engines

Cheers

Your posts on guns and caliber choice are excellent, but you should drink and taste some more beers. But I understand Sweden is difficult regarding alcohol.

Prost! Hermann

VB is indeed a good beer! I was down in Oz last Nov. and Dec. and had a chanse to test some of your exellent brews

I have to say that Crown lager is a good beer, expensive thoug

I was up in Brisbane visiting some shooting buddies and ended up at the Breakfast Creek pub. They had XXXX in wooden kegs! Really good beer, exellent steaks as well!

You also know how to make good red wine down there

I prefer Augustiner.

But we have a lot of small local breweries also, which have a very good beer and sell it only in the brewery pub or in the pubs a few km's arround.

The big one like Fosters are not really bad, but no comparison to the local one.

Prost.

2. Neumarkter Lammsbr�u (Bavaria)

3. Diverse Russian strong beers (higher quality than 95 % of all German beers).

where can you get the Ethiopian beer? Never heard about. Have you been there?

Best regards

Hermann,

Perhaps you�re right about my lack of sophistication regarding beers. I prefer wines to beer.

The best beers I�ve drunk were in Bamberg in Eastern Franconia, in the north of Bavaria. But all those beers are local specialities you can�t get somewhere else. However, the smoked "Rauchbier" wasn�t in my taste, but the several "ungespundeteten Landbier" and Lagers were excellent.

Aber das ist ein allzu weites Feld... (But that�s a too wide field...)

Horrido!

In Belgian its hard to top one of the local Lambics.

France sucks for beer...drink the wine.

Spain...same thing.

In central Germany a Bamburger Rauchbier is very interesting and unique... Southern Germany cries Pilsner from Lowenbrau (especially during Oktoberfest) In the summer a good local crystal Weizen with a slice of lemon is also nice.

In England the local Bitter is almost always the drink to have...but the New Castle Brown is also very good and quite superior to the stuff they import here in the states.

Here in the states I've found the local micro-brews usually better than anything you can buy bottled over the counter...A well hopped American Pale Ale is a thing of joy! (ala Sierra Nevada Pale Ale) If you want to taste a great quality European Beer here in the states buy a bottle of Chemay Trappist Beer from Belgian!

When its 95' out and you just finished mowing the lawn an ice cold Miller Lite is pretty darn sweet!

Now that I live in Ohio, I can't get it anymore.

My picks from them:

1. Winter Ale - Seasonal, Spruce tip
2. Alaskan Amber - Most consumed
3. Pale Ale - Almost Crystal clear

Moose Drool from Montana is great too. I have it whenever I am in Kallispell.

I'll keep my opinion on Bud etc to myself, but I will say of all the lagers/ales/stouts/porters etc I have ever tried, the only one that I really disliked was Pilsner Urquell. Must be an aquired taste.

In Boston, MA. One of the world's best Ethiopian restaurants, by the way. At a very affordable price.

The Ethiopian restaurant in Frankfurt am Main wanted to import some beer for 2002, they told me.

Bamberger Rauchbier ist freilich auch ganz fein :-) Geb' ich ja zu. Aber mein Superlativ bzgl. �thiopien war v�llig ernst gemeint.

The family I lived with used to drink Krombacher, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. They used to bring a couple of bottles to me with lunch while I was driving tractor. Thank goodness there's no such thing as driving tractor in a field under the influence.

The best beer these days is the beer I make. The worst beer I've ever tasted was a batch of rauchbier I tried to make. I think I didn't get the bottles sterilized well enough because the beer ended up tasting like smoked salmon. Turned from rauchbier to retchbeer.

ANY COLD beer while in a Safari camp! Man that's livin'!!!

Mirror Pond Pale Ale
Bridgeport IPA
Bridgeport Pintail Ale

Come'on, I'm an Oregonian (Microbrew capital). You didn't expect me to list Bud did you?

I guess I'll resort to my college rating, free beer is the best beer, and if it's a good local brew and on tap, it's better still.

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

Oh yeah, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is pretty good. But then again I used to live about a mile and a half from the brewery. Bottoms UP!

The Scots have a fully spelling for beer, though. They spell it "whisky".
