Cascade do make a light beer (so do Boags, I think), but I was referring to Cascade Premium. |

I asked if he'd tried Coopers, and he had. And, frankly, Boags isn't that good :p Cascade is better. |

boag's lager was the most acceptable, but even that was piss poor by my standards. srsly. I think i tried about 12-15 different australian brews and they all sucked

| The very commercial brews in Australia suck. Waaay too hoppy in my opinion. Some really nice micro brewed beer. I quite liked Coopers Sparkling Ale (which is kind of in between the two I guess) but still wish it was a little less hopped. Yohan you should give Coopers Sparkling Ale a try if you haven't. It's an unfiltered ale. |

He did, that was one of the first questions I asked him, when we were talking about beer :haha:
I tend to agree with your thoughts on AU beer, though.
And PKC: I can't find anywhere that sells Moo Brew up here :( My local bottle shop guy is a legend though, and is going to try and get some in :D |

Hehe nice. If he goes down to Victoria he should pick up a state micro-brewery guide, describing the story and the location of all the state's micro-breweries, which I there are quite a few of.
p.s. have you tried Schneider's Aventinus Eisbock? Is it just me or does it taste like Marmite? |

Aussie beer is very bitter so it takes a bit of time to get used to. That's probably why he didn't like any of them.
As a simple test, grab a commercial overseas brew that's brewed locally like a Heineken and Stella, plus others, then go to Europe and try their equivalents. The difference in aussie ones being bitter and the Euro ones being sweet is HUGE.
I find it hard to believe he thought it was all though. There's quite a bit of variety to suit any taste.
Yohan, what do you normally drink? |

This one?
If so, yeah, I get them regularly :p
Marmite though? :wtf: The stongest flavours in Aventinus seem like molasses and raisin/sultana to me :conf: |
