The Northern Territory is not a state? Then what is it? It appears on topological maps as a state with boundaries etc...?
The Foster's over here is pretty good, compared to most other beers, the biggest rival would be Carlsberg. Having said that, the Foster's here is brewed in this country just with Australian markings on the tin, not like we export any of your rubbish 😛
Australian beer is good for what it is brewed for - quick drinking - there are plenty of better beers elsewhere.

Originally posted by lordhighgusIn England, Fosters is my drink of choice. It's cheap and beautiful.
Sorry brother, no one, i repeat no one in Australia drinks Fosters. It is our revenge on the world, along with "Neighbours".
I drank it one night in Australia and nearly died. It tasted mank and full of chemicals and gave me the worst hangover ever.
Different drink altogether.

Originally posted by RagnorakIf you can find it, i reccomend Cascade Lager or Crown Lager, a couple of levels above Tooheys New. For bitters, either Victorian Bitter or Melbourne Bitter. Great Beers.
I'd rank Tuohey's New as one of the best lagers I've ever tasted.

European beers, Carlsberg or Tuborg.

Originally posted by lordhighgusVB is a cut above fosters and thats being kind. Melbourne bitter is even worse. Cascade premium lagar is a very nice beer but a $65 + a case you can keep it. Crown lager is VB in a different bottle. Haven't tried those European beers but they sound expensive. I stand by my Tooheys Extra Dry for taste crispness and affordability.

Where l am from (Melbourne) Tooheys is spending millions trying (not very succesfully) to get people to drink Tooheys beers.
l can remember 12 or so years ago , walking into a pub with mates - seeing they had tooheys ont tap and leaving in disgust.
Now l think there is very very little difference between the main beers ( VB - Melb from CUB and Tooheys.
Much prefer Cascade, Boags and Coopers -quality and less chemicals.
Cheers
