West End is better than Coopers too!

 

[Docker_Brat]

Stella Artois

 

[Darky]

Lowenbrau (Germany) & Tennents (Scotland).

Tennents Stout (Scotland) is also an almighty drop.

 

[Squeak]

Stella
Kilkenny
Guinness
Beck's
Holsten

Basically anything except VB and Calrsberg.

Anything with the Carlsberg name on it is filth.

I'm not too keen on Carlsberg or Heineken, either-- but I prefer VB over anything else domestically brewed in Australia. Seriously.

Then again, back home in the U.S., our beers are horrible. Old joke, censored for your protection-- "Drinking Budweiser is like making love on a rowboat, because it's f***ing close to water..."

Guinness, a.k.a. ye old mud, is good, too. But as long as I'm drinking here, I'll have a good ol' VB any day.

Cheers,
William

You must be joking! Not much beats heading to the pub after & having a Coopers' Pale off tap. Reckon Squeak would make a good drinking partner - Kilkenny & Becks are 2 of my favourite OS beers (& the others listed aren't bad either).

Corona would be my favourite. Goes down very well.

Coopers Pale would be my next favourite.

West End is alright - but only if its drunk out of ice cold cans! In any other manner - it tastes like crap.

You have got to be joking. Tennents is shîte. The only good thing about Tennents were their TV ads. They're even worse than McEwans!

For me I like something with a bit of taste, such as a Hoegaarden, despite it propensity to deliver headaches or London Pride. Used to like a drop of the 80/- as well.

Tried some for the first time the other day, not a bad drop at all.

Ain't that the truth.

Coopers for me. Love the stuff.

If anyone feels the need to send me some in Italy, pm me and I'll give you the address.

Which reminds me of a story... (sorry)... here in Florence there is an "Australian" pub, and out of morbid curiosity I stuck my head in. This is it the worst pub in existance. Tacky psuedo-Australian road signs on the wall (some confused with American culture... since when do Aussies drive Chevys?), only have four-X on tap, have things like emu bruschetta and kangaroo gnocchi on the menu (but don't actually serve it... seems they didn't have any that night ).... but the worst was an Italian waiter who I think was trying to pass himself off as Aboriginal.

If anyone can top that as worst pub ever, I'll be impressed.

Sbagman.

i was up in townsville last month and from the tap, it was either VB or XXXX Gold. ugh

dont mind Becks, Heineken or Crownies, but Kilkenny is a nice smooth drop, my fave.

but i cant always afford these exotic labels, so Tooheys New does just fine most of the time

coldies or home brewed black jelly bean beer

[Lockyer24]

Bah all you high rollers and your Dutch beer!

Carlton Draught.. bottle or tap

Hmmm...the extra strength one at 8 or 9% is awful, the standard one at 5% is divine.

Shouldn't you be at work or something?

Sounds typical, but then most 'Irish' pubs outside of Ireland also tend to suffer from a similar cultural misalignment.

 

[Santos L Helper]

Asahi from Japan is nice.
Red Hook from San Francisco is nice.
Coopers Pale Ale is best.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Carlton Draught still holds up strong for mine. I enjoy Toohey's Old and I love Dab in those skinny cans as well.

 

[Dogwatcher]

Coopers ale and Boag's premium for me.
And I know I will get laughed at but I think Crown Lager is overrated. Sorry.

 

[sussudio]

Chimay Blue
Hoegaarden
Guinness Draught
Old Speckled Hen
Asahi
Coopers Sparkling

haven't tried Old Peculiar, but want to.

Crown Lager is just Fosters with a private school education
