If I'm going to Dan Murphy I'm tending to buy a cartoon of a mainstream European beer around the $60 mark. Maybe Stella, Peroni or sometime's I've been getting Estrella Damm the Barcelona beer. I like European pilsners.

If I'm buying an Australian beer it's usually James Boag's Premium, James Squire's Broken Shackles or one of the Cooper's....

Admittedly I'm not particularly sophisticated in my beer tastes but I'm happy with that . If I'm in a bar or pub I'll be a bit more adventurous and often try something different.

James Squire and Cooper’s just fit into the bigger craft breweries. They don’t use preservatives. I’ve enjoyed a lot of JS beers.

Boag’s, Stella, Estrella, Peroni I struggle to drink.

Most people have your palate - where you like golden lagers.

The most out there tastes are sours, hazy pale ales, hoppy IPAs and Russian Imperial Stouts.

I can join, not sure if what I drink counts as craft. I'm a bit of a sweet tooth (I have ice cream in my morning coffee :-D)

so I tend to like fairly sweet beers. Traditional ales (not IPAs) in England, Milk stouts, Bavarian Hells, Belgium blondes, Anything on tap at an Izakaya because Japanese beer is pretty awesome on top (but weirdly terrible in a supermarket)

Join up, Grazor!

You’ve developed a good repertoire of craft tastes since I tried to induce you to drink craft beer!

Milk and whey stout - very rich and sweet, using lactos. Serious craft beer style!

Belgian Blondes - decent wheat bier. I like Blanche even more, which adds citrus.

I’m looking for Izayaka at my favourite Japanese restaurant - next.

I like Pinots too - Noir and Gris.

I note you like Lagers, Pilsners and sometimes Pales. A bit to work with there, LFC!

Reds I far prefer are cabs/shiraz's/malbecs but I'm warming to pinots now and then, influence from my bro inlaws.
Yep if any beer crisp clean fresh but tbh I can live without drinking beer period.
I'd sooner alcholic ginger beer and I buy slabs of that as well haha

I'm definitely in the not like the sweet, fruity, hoppy, hazy nonsense which is not limited to NSW. If you have to infuse your beer with every flavour under the sun then your base ingredients are sub par & I question the brewer competency in general. However at the time that is what the market wanted for some reason so they got a quid whilst it was on and the free market determined that a fad was a fad. C'est la vie. The ones that are left survived for a reason however this fruity shyte ain't my cup of tea.

Do you like malty beers using roasted malt - Brown Ales and Red Ales based on British style? Nutty, caramel, toffee, biscuit flavours.

Pale Ales - a bit hoppy, devoid of citrus, fruity flavour?

Stouts and Porters - molasses, chocolate, coffee flavours?

They grow a lot of Malbec around Toulouse and the Lot Valley in France.

Coal Valley is nearby. They grow the Syrah style of Shiraz. A ripper from Riversdale is 10 mins away.

My dad was like you.

Traditional English IPA's, brown ales, amber ales, light ale's the occasional stout.

He'd look at me drinking a lager as if I had 2 heads....

We have plenty of members. We need more of them reviewing beers for the Tas CBA Facebook site when they aren’t drinking with me!

We also have 3 craft beer owners and about 8 head brewers. They can’t review their own beers. Someone has to do it!

LOL!

Do you like malty beers using roasted malt - Brown Ales and Red Ales based on British style? Nutty, caramel, toffee, biscuit flavours. - I've had Brown Ales in England itself, they're good.

Pale Ales - a bit hoppy, devoid of citrus, fruity flavour? - Pale Ale good.

Stouts and Porters - molasses, chocolate, coffee flavours? - Silly flavours bad.

EZ, your quote isn't coming up.

Given you like English Brown Ales you could possibly like some Porters and Stouts. You should also like British Red Ales, that are usually malty and back off on hop bitterness.

Milk and Whey Stouts - have combinations of caramel, chocolate, sometimes coffee flavours, the latter often found in Brown Ales, plus they have lactos added to make them sweeter/maltier.

Nitro Stouts - wouldn't work for you, or Russian Imperial Stouts, or another one that Du Cane Brewer, Sam Phillips brewed - a Miso Stout. These tend to have lots of molasses and have a heavy feel and savoury taste - that I like.

Another you could like which is a sweeter style of Stout or Porter, is Peanut Butter Porter or Stout. These are very rich and sweet. I can usually only drink about half a Pot or 285 ml glass!

 

[grazorblade]

silly flavours are the best u can get in the usa/canada if you dont like ipa or the big brands

I usually just go a cider in north america
