I prefer wine, so I really have no beer knowledge to add. I could make a joke about why Budweiser has all the draft horses......
When I was a kid , in our gang, I used to buy the beer. I was 17 at the time.

lol The bad influence! I didn't drink. Never had an interest in it. Even now, I don't like being drunk, so I don't drink to get drunk. Champagne, is delicious, though, so easy to drink a lot.....and when I have gotten drunk on it I'm a goofy riot. EVERYTHING is funny, plus I sing random stuff.

No one drinks fosters in Australia.

It's an export.

Feral brewing
Gage roads brewing
Young Henry's
James squire
Matilda bay brewing
Little creatures

There are heaps of breweries around my area.

They aren't big on lager's, think pale ale's, or more hoppy beers.
Probably would have to hunt those down.

We have micro-breweries here in the US.
At present, I'm still partial to Red Stripe.
But they went from imported to domestic, here in the states.

Cooper's pale ale is my fav
Then feral hop hog IPA
Then cooper's vintage
Then James squire sundowner
Then gage road's single fin summer ale


If you want to be frowned down upon by the beer snobs you drink:

Swan draught
Emu bitter (aka wife basher beer)
Vb
XXXX GOLD
Emu Bitter. Will have to try that some time.
😉

I think I've seen IPA.
Will have to try Cooper's Palaylee.

Ya a few of my coworkers were hired to work at young Henry's in Sydney and gage roads is a ten min drive from mine.

It's easy getting work in a brewery here cuz all the pubs make you train on beer knowledge, and fermentation process. Plus we are always dealing with the beer reps. Beer is big in fremantle.
Sounds good.

Maybe I'll invade australia and you, your hubby and I can enjoy a freesome tour round town.

🙂

Haha u can get it at music festivals along with premixed jacks and coke.

Bogan brands:
Jacks
Jim beam
Corona
And those beers I mentioned.

It's funny the alcoholic hierarchy here.

I mean North Americans aren't that obnoxious about their alcohol.

Plus a full strength beer is 4.5 here.

Liquor control and licensing has gotten very strict in the last ten years. So abv had to go down in beer.

I think we have a full strength of around 4% abv, here in the US.

I think that Red Stripe is about 2% abv which is fine by me because I am more "thirsty" than interested in getting drunk.
However, stronger varieties, for the sake taste might be a lure, for me.

I like the buzz.
Drunk was fun when I was a kid.

I prefer the buzz where you semi-stagger. Not fall down.

I think it's a tonic for falling asleep.

Probably. I have a gemini friend who uses alcohol to help him fall asleep, otherwise he's wired, mentally. I've never had a problem falling asleep (unless it's a full moon), and I don't even like being buzzed that much.
