Cascade Premium for me. One of the best Australian beers. :thumbsu:

Back when it was 375ml and 5.2% I would have agreed with you. Now at 330ml and 5% it is just another beer. Meh.

Coopers Sparkling,Grolsch and James Squire Golden Ale.

If going cheap Carlton Draught and Vic still do the trick.

Hoegarden tastes like bubblegum and i cant drink more than 1-2.
 
Has anyone tried the Velkopopovický Kozel Premium? It's a Czech Lager and was recommended to me by a workmate. Currently have a bottle sitting in my fridge waiting to be consumed.

Yeah. It's not bad. Though, there are several Czech lagers that are better, that are readily available here IMO - such as Budvar and Zlatopramen. Still, it's pretty good.
 
Local: Coopers Sparkling, Pale and Best Extra Stout & James Squires Golden Ale.

Micros: Mountain Goat Hightail Ale, Little Creatures Pale and anything by Redoak.

Imports: basically anything from Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic or the UK.

Life's too short to limit yourself to one favourite beer.

nice beer. Comes in a 500ml bottle as well. But as HF said, there are better ones.

Just enjoying this one now whilst watching the footy. Can confirm what I have heard, very nice beer. Have seen both Budvar and Zlatopramen so will give them a try also.

Cheers

Cascade's 'First Harvest' is a mighty fine drop. Probably my all time favourite would be Boags 'Honey Porter'. These are both Limited Release beers though. I've found in recent times theres nothing quite like a good Rauchbier (Smoke Beer). 3 Ravens have just released one which I'm eager to have a go at, I've tried Redoaks Rauchbier and 2 German ones and all were delicious.

Woah freaky, I tried that last night for the first time and came here to give it a mention!.

I'm not a fan of Cascade beer overall but that was very nice beer. :thumbsu::thumbsu:
 
While we're talking Cascade, anyone tried the Cascade Green beer? Easily the best of the low carb beers and the fact that it is carbon neutral in its production is a nice bonus.
 
I'm only a beginner, having only just discovered that you can make alcoholic homebrew (see, told you I was a begginer), but my favourite is Coopers Sparkling Ale.

I had low expectations of this one as most low carb beers are rubbish - but was pleasantly surprised.
 
Is First Harvest made differently each year? I had some about a year ago and wasnt that impressed by it.

Had a Kirin for the first time on the weekend and liked it muchly.

Yet to see this anywhere in my area (west/north-western Melbourne), but maybe I'm just not going to the right shops.

I'm not into the whole low-carb principle because if you suck down 10 stubbies a night it doesn't matter if they're 100 or 160 calories. :D But having said that, I will buy a low-carb beer if it tastes OK, and I like to taste as many new beers as I can find. Of the low-carb, I'm partial to Michelob Ultra (95 calories, 4.2% alc), which has a bit more flavour than some of the local alternatives, and is cheaper too. It also makes for a good traveller because it doesn't bloat you as you're walking home if you have 3 or 4.

I've only seen it at First Choice so far, so I'm thinking that Coles have the exclusive distribution rights so far. I haven't found it at Dan's or BWS yet. So my advice would be to head to the nearest First Choice/Vintage Cellars, it's worth making a trip for it.

Michelob Ultra = Bud Lite = absolute tripe. I had you down as a better drinker than that.

Coopers have an excellent range of home brew concentrates - the Sparkling is great.

Have fun with it mate.
