Tins, actually. Lighter, less bulky, travel easy, less likelihood of the beer going off due to light exposure. Particularly good if you are flying and want to take beer home with you.

Growlers for me. I can just rinse them, fill up from brewery and then pour in my own glass.

According to BA, the best beer in the world comes out of a can, so there you go.
What is it?

Heady Topper. It's supposed to be drunk from the can too.
Doesn't matter which beers I try, I always end up back at the old faithfuls.
Victoria Bitter, Melbourne Bitter and less regularly, Carlton Draught.

Had this on the weekend, NZ pumping out some awesome beers of late. For those of you that live North side of Melbourne, get on over to Carwyn Cellars in Thornbury. Around 18 beers or so on tap.

I've had a crack at quite a few Aussie beers since I've been back, and aside from my old faves, the only new ones I've really been impressed with have been the Hawthorn Australian Pale Ale, the Moon Dog Ice Cream beers, and surprisingly, the Yenda Hell double lager. I haven't had too many I'd call awful, bu most of them have been drinkable and not much more.

As are most imported beers, unfortunately. If you're after some good local beers have a crack at any of the Dainton Family Brewing beers, the bottled ones are a Lager, IPA and a Rye.

I think they're quite expensive in NZ as well, was recently over there and these were pricey but damn they were good.
Had the Dainton sinister sister on the weekend and it was a very nice session beer. Got it from beer mash in Collingwood. That is a fine retail outlet isn't it!!
Also had some red hill scotch ale which is one of my favourites. Haven't tried any others from them but will do

Had a few decent beers on the weekend at a bucks which started at the Brunswick bowls. 2 birds make a nice amber ale and their Taco beer goes very well.

Haven't tried the Taco Beer yet, what does it actually taste like?
This was awesome! A sour ale that's the perfect Sunday afternoon in the sun beer.

It is a big shame we get Big Eye instead - I can't stand that beer.
Such a harsh finish and doesn't even roll around well in the mouth.
I don't mind it but it's not a big boy.

It's not bad. It's a wheat beer with a bit of a fresh taste. Could down a couple pretty easily.Haven't tried the Taco Beer yet, what does it actually taste like?

The Big Eye is alright. It just isn't Sculpin.
In other news, my missus returns from the US on Thursday with Sculpin, Grapefruit Sculpin, Pineapple Sculpin and Habenero Sculpin.
She also got me a peppermint Victory At Sea as far as Ballast Point goes.
Ha!! I was on the Coopers last night after a fair lay off (from the Coopers).Yeah, yeah........rub it in.

I'm about to have a crack at some 2 and a half year old Crownies I found earlier. I think they'd been hiding in the back of a cupboard or beer fridge, so they might be alright. I drank an 8 yo VB stubby that had been sitting in a mates beer fridge a few years back, and it was the only decent VB I've ever had lol.
Will report findings later when I take the plunge.....
