Boags draught isnt all that great IMHO,
It lacks carbonation and complexity of flavours.

(Cascade Draught is the better of the two - but ask someone from northern tas and they'll tell you the opposite)

Got to say, i keep trying different beers here and there but i always end up coming back to Coopers Pale Ale and Coopers Sparkling. 

If anyones from Adelaide, how much is a case of Coopers over that way.  Makes sense that beer is cheaper closer to the brewery, as seems to be the case with boags and the Vic breweries.

Yet to taste Cascade Draught.

EDIT- Pale Ale is $43 near me (geelong, vic) and Sparkling is $39.50 (sparkling is the better beer anyway)

I've got a book here called Beer: Slabs, Stubbies and Six-Packs - A Tasting Guide.  The two blokes who wrote it just hang shit on anything they don't like, for example........

Budweiser

We don't know why this is in the book, it's almost not beer.  Having said that, it's the world's leading beer brand - yet another indication of how silly the planet is at present.  It's floral but confectionary-floral; it's smooth enough, but watery.  This beer has about as much integrity as a UDL vodka-orange or a cup of instant coffee.  If you haven't been paying attention, we don't like this beer.  It's made to be sessional but is simply tasteless.  This is a weird beer in that it is so popular.  We don't get it.

this is a good one too.....

Carlton Cold

With CUB's characteristic sweet-and-sour nose, Carlton Cold manages to magnificently replicate the look, flavour, texture and finish of mediocre Victoria pub tap beer.  Quite an achievement - and possibly a reason for its popularity.  What you don't get with this beer, however, is the conviviality of the main bar, Sky Tab, the ever-increasing beauty of the barmaid or the unmentionables of the men's dunny.  Without all that what's the point of this beer?

Great book!

Before!  Before!  You're living in the past, Marge.  Quit living in the past.

What, I never said I didn't like it asshat! :P

At least I don't think I did... but if I did, then I'm the asshat.

Bud is full strength beer guys...

Another interesting thing, beers marketed in the states as 'lite' are still about as full strength as our local heavys, they are just diet beers like that one Carlton puts out called pure blonde. 

So it looks like Americans are a bit more hardcore than us when it comes to alcohol content...consumption is a different story though.

Another thing to counter the "American beer is crap" idea is that the much loved Little Creatures Pale Ale is a complete rip off of an American beer called Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!  ;D

On another note, here's a question for the Queenslanders up there, did anyone try that commemorative brew XXXX put out about 3 years ago called XXX?

Bloody XXXX... what a joke :P

Drank it in QLD when I was up there a month ago.  Never again.

And yes Danooh, I just got home from work.  Got straight on the phone and told my mate to buy a slab when he finishes work and bring my half around (he owes me half)... i'm craving one.  I'm not sure if this is 100% a good thing however!

this guy knows his shit, sierra nevadas are bomb too.

definately, lite beer was designed so that you can get just as drunk of beer as you can from liquor because it has the consistency of water but the same alcohol content (5%) as other beers.  also, without american beer the beer-bong may have never been invented (not sure about the history of the beer bong but it seems logical)... on that note i just realized what im going to do once i become drinking age, im going to pour a crapload of guinness into a beer bong and have a good night from that point on... hardcore haha

i cant stand local beer anymore, well, not much of it anyway.

im partial to Extra Dry special brew atm, and also stellas go down well.

worst beer ive ever tried was a Tui's dry, in nz, it was like a combination of VB and the yarra river, left in the sun for 2 weeks

Guys,

I was in this grog shop called Dan Murphy's last nite, in Canberra, its huge and stocks heaps and heaps of beer etc.  I found a beer but out by Hahn, called Hahn Pale Ale.  Its in the same bottles as Hahn premium but has a really dated looking label.

I bought a 6 pack for $13 and i was pleasantly surprised!  its a pretty damn tasty beer which i can definitely see suiting warm summer nites. 

Has anyone else heard of this Hahn pale ale?  could be a new favorite...right up there with coopers pale ale.
