+1 , pretty much a perfect summary, except I would have used the description "scheissdreck" 

 

Make mine $40 carton of Stella, Becks, Carlsburg etc from DeVine Cellars.

Stella? I would rather drink VB than Stella . My pommy mates call it wife beater.

Cheers Dave.

So,

 

have been trying a bit. As someone noted, I did fall off my chair after seeing the prices! But, I'm not "underwhelmed" by the choice. Saw the "Little Creatures" brewery in Freo today, but was with the kids so I didn't go in. Yet.

 

Coopers, yes, very nice, had a bottle of Stout with the missus last night.

 

As for the day-to-day, I'm pretty happy with Boags Draught so far. Will try some others too, and let you know. My guess is I'll be getting a different sort (6 or 12) each time and rotate after a while.

 

Thanks for the much appreciated advice!

 

Beto

Good to hear you are settling in Beto.

 

Be sure to let us know what has taken your fancy and what is a flop.

 

I'm sure familiarity and bias can close our minds to our local offerings to some degree.

 

A day trip out to the Swan Valley could be in order for you at some stage. Three brewhouses I can think of off the top of my head, a rum distillery and of course the wineries. The chocolate factory can be fun for the kids too.

Not a WA ale but John Bostons PA is great. Sorry, am digressing to the beer thread.

Nail and Feral come to mind - There's a reason why Feral's Hop Hog has won multiple awards over many years. Its delicious.

 

There's a great Australian beer news/info site called the Crafty Pint, (http://craftypint.com/) has lots of info about different breweries and beers, broken down by state. Its a bit incomplete as I can think of at least 6 South Australian brewers that aren't listed under 'SA', but its a good start. Check it out!
