It was needed.

James Squires.
Some Pommy beer that Prince Charlese's farms brew from organic produce was sensational. Help please.
Coopers Sparkling.

Carlton Dry when the credit card is maxed.

I've devoted 2010 to trying lots of different beers. So far my favourite has been Little Creatures Pale Ale. Though I haven't got very far yet.

I had that new Coopers Dry Beer (low carb) and I won't bother again, its just there attempt to hit the mass produced tasteless megaswill market.

Tastes 100x better when it's poured straight out of the vats at the funky little place in Freo :thumbsu:

After returning from America, everything tastes awesome over here. Carlton Dry and Toohey's Extra Dry are my usual staples, but in times of economic hardship and... uhhh... just because I'm up north, I love a cold Emu Export. Don't be hating.

(I'd drink a bushchook that's been Roebourne chilled to 50 odd degrees before I'd drink a Corona, by the way. First person to mention a) Corona or b) any other beer with lemon in it, fails)
 
Little Creatures Pale Ale is great.

Fat Yak is pricey over here, but makes a nice variation.

Kilkenny and Guiness can't be beat on a Sunday arvo (or even right now, what with the current temp a barmy 7 degrees.

If you can find it Knappstein Reserve (made by the winery mob) is worth a try, as are Marston's Old Empire India Pale Ale and Daleside Blonde.

Kirin First Press is my current all time favourite, with Coopers Pale a close second just because of the sheer volumes I can drink of the stuff without getting hungover the next morning.:D

Worst beer I have ever had is a Corona wanna-be called - wait for it - Desperados. "Beer flavoured with Tequila". Made in France!! (If it was Mexican it'd probably be half decent...).

Indeed, Fresh from the vats is awesome. They've yet to master the food at that place yet though.

Admittedly, it's been a long time since I've had the chance to make it down there, but I remember having a really good feed of roo cooked in some fancy, gourmet way. Bit overpriced and small, but I just decided to drink more to make me feel full and forget how much it cost.

Never understood why someone buys a beer you need to put a lemon in to taste OK??
Carlton Dry for me at the moment.

some beers are improved with a wedge of lemon/lime. Redback for example is an excellent beer by itself, or if you feel like a taste thats a little different add a slice of lime and you've just made a slightly different excellent beer.

My old bosses were into the Redbacks with lime. It tastes ok, but i will drink anything. I had to construct a fruit fly trap to put next to the overfilled recycling bin to cull the swarm of fruit flies hovering over the bin.

One of the worst beers i ever had was Duff beer from over 10 years ago. My mate was manager of a liquor store and couldnt sell any of it, so we drank it even though it tasted like crap. Little did we know Duff beer would become an expensive collectors item a year or 2 after it was withdrawn from sale due to legal action by the makers of the Simpsons. DOH!

My staple beer atm is Coopers pale ale, i love it.
 
Little Creatures is the goods - Bright Ale if I'm having a lot, Pale Ale if I'm having a couple and Rogers if there's driving to be done.

BKBP's little brother and his mates must have been on Rotto for schoolies because the front page of the West had a picture of about a dozen young blokes partying at Rottnest each with a can of Export in their hands.
 
Hahn Premium - lovely crisp beverage. i still haven't gotten over when they EU-ified the bottles to 310ml from 375ml and charged the same amount for a carton. 1.4lt less cheap bastards!

Hahn Super Dry is my beer of choice away on site - poor man's asahi :thumbsu:
 
I used to manage a liquor store when I was younger and I tried every single beer in there in the name of... um... homework.

Before that I used to drink shit like Emu Bitter but my tastes quickly got more refined (ie fussy) and now I won't drink any of that mass produced stuff that comes in 30 can blocks. Beer is definitely one thing worth paying a bit extra for.

I don't mind Corona at all, don't know why so many bag it. A nice inoffensive sessional beer. Speaking of inoffensive beers I must be the only straight guy who actually likes the low carb beers like Pure Blonde and Hahn Super Dry. Nothing to do with thinking they're better for my waist - they just have a nice taste for sessional drinking.

Asahi is probably my favourite beer ever but it sells for something like $25 a 6pk and $90 a ctn up here.

One thing I can't stand is those horrible fruit infused beers they're bringing out lately like Carlton Fusion and the other one I forgotten the name of. Foul stuff.
