just curious, what are good beers down there?

As @Captain Ketamine says, there are so many micro breweries in Oz these days, it would be hard to say, there are lots.

But in terms of mainstream beers, my favourite is Coopers sparkling ale(red label), fermented in the bottle. Most popular of their range would be the green label, the stout (yellow label) is great in winter.

“Chacun son gout”….. to each his own tastes
depends on what you like. Depends on your mood, the weather, if you’re eating what food…. Usual stuff… we have some nice beers through out OZ. Not just the crap that comes out of large multinational owned breweries.
When Australia was colonised there were hundreds of little breweries. Many would have copied English styles of ales. But that evolved. When I was young The brewery numbers had contracted and were owned by just a few companies. The main styles were lagers. I’m not sure how that came about, but it was pretty boring. I could go from Esperance in the South to Wyndham in the north 1000 miles or so apart and exactly the same beer was served at a ridiculously cold temperature. I like a cold beer, but the colder it is the less flavours you can taste. Fine if you’re a teen that only wants to get drunk.
I inherited my grandfather brewing equipment at age 12 and became very interested in brewing all sorts of stuff.
In the 80’s many people who had traveled around the UK and Europe were encouraged by real ale campaigns to move away from large multinational breweries producing the same insipid stuff.
They started up small independent breweries which produced English Bitter styles, IPA, Stout, pale ales and lagers. with English and European specialty brewery influences. It caught on. And these more successful breweries were then swallowed up by the larger group. However the interest in variety blossomed.
i understand that something similar happened in the US. its Interesting to see how popular pale ales of varying influences have become popular.
now we have a ridiculous number of little breweries. Always lots of styles that are put forward. I think it’s great though they don’t have a long half life.
what do I like? Depends on how hot it is if I’ve been working hard, if I don’t want to get too drunk too quickly.
I prefer hoppy flavours. But will try anything once.

i'm a homebrewer myself, pale ales aren't done much in the US, but all the "craft" brewers have about 3-4 IPA's in their lineup ... and like you said, "ridiculous number of breweries".. when I started brewing, craft beer was unheard of, now in my city along, there's probably close to 50 breweries in the area.. good to hear you have good beer! Prost..

It's misspelled. He's saying, "Yes, you all are Wong."

Reckon your spider has a caffeine habit. Poor thing..

Most of the stuff from the West...except Emu Export, known colloquially as "Wifebeater"

It’s funny that , we used to order Emu Export as kids, in strange assumption we were slightly more sophisticated bogans. This was before it was called wifebeater. Though I’ve always thought of that with singlets

though I suppose if your transitioning it might be this instead…
