I went on a run with the local Torana club to Potters Brewery at Nulkaba a year or two ago. They had six or seven of their own beers on tap. One was a bacon beer. Tasted sorta like cheese and bacon balls...I only had one of them lol

I love a beer, I home brewed heaps years ago and have been thinking about getting back into it. I bought a carton of Blue Tongue Lager and Blue Tongue Pilsner today, I haven't had them for a while, jees they are nice.

+1 for home brewing. I very rarely buy packaged beer now. I started off using off the shelf mixes, but now have developed my own recipes, which go into 19 litre kegs. Currently got 3 different one to choose from.

VB isn't too bad after a long day or if I'm offered one. I dont go outa my way to grab a carton though. And it's one of the biggest selling beers in Aus so its obviously doing ok for itself. But my beer is Carlton dry all the way and maybe TED's if they're cheaper. Has anyone had 'lucky' beer?? It almost taste like heineken I think, it's good **** the bottle is in the shape of a Buddha

Judging by members reactions on here thats solely because of me

Varies depending on my mood. I go between Heineken, James Boag Draught, Carona, Pure Blond. Also sometimes I drink Melb bitter, Carlton Draught and some of the black beers. I don't touch Carlton Cold, Tooheys red/blue or XXXX.

My favorite everyday beer is Coopers. Pale in the Summer, and Sparking in the colder weather

In summer I mix it up with any Squires ale, and anything from Matilda bay or little Creatures. (anything microbrewed cant go wrong)
In the winter I love my stouts and dark ales. I don't really have a favorite dark beer since I only discovered them a few years back so I'm still learning.

My home brew is a thing of beauty but I don't have anywhere to brew since moving into my house (I gotta finish my reno's first!). I used to have it fermenting in my bedroom cupboard at Mum and dads but now I share a house with my woman we have certain ground rules which prohibit fermenting beer bubbling away all night in the corner of the bedroom

Ah yes, COOPERS, another one I forgot. Superb beer indeed and still owned by the Coopers.

My Wife and I tend to keep an eye on the beer weekly specials with that trash stuffed into our mail box.
When there's good classy to our taste beer on special we usually go purchase 3 or 4 slabs of it.........Often one picks up $50.00 per slab beer for $40.00........Good way to buy beer IMHO.

Before Christmas friend from Melbourne called in and saw a pile of beer.........We had just bought about 8 slabs...........He ask if we were expecting a beer strike? My answer was......One MUST be prepared at all times.

Another great beer while I think of it is Speights on the south island in New Zealand............A sensational beer that MUST be drunk on tap........Have tried the cans and it's not the same.

I've got a trying different types of foreign beers going atm. Found Asahi (Jap beer) to be a really nice, definitely one of my favourites.

Asahi is a good beer. Drank plenty of that when I was in Japan.
Most hotels in Japan have vending machines for food,smokes and drinks. Me and my mate emptied out a few vending machines of asahi on our travels.
Could get the tall cans for 300yen, Which is about $3AUS.
