Well, the Australian beers I like are all from the smaller breweries. Some of the ones I like at the moment are:
- Matilda Bay Fat Yak
- James Squire Golden Ale
- White Rabbit Dark Ale
- White Rabbit Pale Ale
- Four Pines Hefeweizen
- Four Pines Kolsch
- Little Creatures Original Pilsner
- Bluetongue Premium Lager
Yeah, my wife and I drink a fair bit of beer. Some of the mainstream Australian beers aren't too bad. I never thought I'd turn into a beer ponce, but here I am. Tooheys Red isn't bad for a cheap beer, and Pure Blonde is OK to have occasionally. Some of the stuff from Coopers and Boag's is OK, too. Cascade and Crown are drinkable.
There are some really shitty beers in that are drunk very widely in Australia, including XXXX Gold (midstrength lager, currently most popular beer in Australia), Vic Bitter (which isn't actually a bitter, it's a lager), Carlton Draught, West End Draught, and any of that Emu shit that some bogans in remote WA drink.
