I don't know of that particular brewery but I'd give their beers a try if Dan Murphys stocks it. Other US beers that we are going to try are Shambles Summer Ale Shambles American IPA.... and both are currently in stock. Yesterday we tried Steersmans Ultra Dry and it was quite nice.... was very refreshing after working in the yard. Today we're going to try Shepherd Neame Spitfire Kentish Ale and maybe John Boston Pale Ale.

[quote who="Dcrew57" reply="19" id="3783212"] Quoting Dcrew57, reply 18 Strakers you mentioned no fruit in your beer preference. A lot of the mexican beers are great with a little lime in them. Pacifico comes to mind along with Modelo, Does Equixx. Also the heinekin we get in the states is piss compared to the heineken&nbs

[quote who="Jafo" reply="16" id="3783187"] The best beer CUB ever made was Fosters Export [/quote] I've had Fosters Export and the local variety.... both are worse than swamp piss and I never ever want that swill in my mouth again. Apparently Fosters is very, very popular with the yuppy set in London and other UK cities. Don't say much for taste.... even the worst British beers are streets ahead of Fosters for taste and flavour. I had a mate in Queenslan

As for the Sheperd Neame ale, it's as full flavoured as you'd like and an exceptional beer by any standard. As for keeping beer?

A couple more we've tried recently: Kalnapilis pilsner..... yup a truly nice beer with a hint of sweetness from the hops. We got a case of 20 500ml bottles for AU$63.00... a great bargain. Mythos Hellenic lager..... a slightly sweet beer with the right balance of bitterness to make it a refreshing and enjoyable brew. Innis & Gunn Original Oak Aged Ale.... brewed in Scotland using reused bourbon barrels and the finest highland ingredients. Speights Gol

Hi folks, it's time to talk about beer and the thousands upon thousands of different brands and styles on offer. Steve and I have been experimenting with various imported beers and we're quite delighted with our findings. In no particular order, here's a list of our favourites from those we tried: Molson Canadian lager..... a very, very nice drop that's brimming with the flavour of hops and prairie barley. Asahi.... a very nice Japanese lager... a smooth and refres

Put bluntly and succinctly, I like Firefox, I don't like Chrome. I did try Chrome but it just wasn't/isn't for me. Yes, I do have an Android smartphone, but only because MS pulled support and development for the Windows Phone. If MS reinstated the Windows Phone to full support and development I'd switch back in an instant. And no, I am NOT a MS fanboi, I just prefer the Windows Phone over the others.... simple as that.

Hmmm, Chrome is probably the worst for data collection and snooping on users internet usage. It's not a browser I would trust.... and MS' edge isn't something I'd trust, either.
