How many of these top 50 have you tried?

Not enough of them!

[Hansie]

Tusker from Tanzania and Kenya... Mosi from Zambia ... are O.K. but Knappstein is great drop especially for a winery!!!

[brokendown gunfighter]

quite a few of them.I would rate the alpha pale ale higher than little creatures pale ale though.
but hey,what would I know?
yes I would rate Knappstein right up there

Put a couple of people onto the Knappstein before the game on Saturday they where really impressed. It is expensive which is prohibitive plus I can’t get it in Karratha.

Of that list i have only had 6 of them, which really isn’t enough. Can’t believe that Feral White didn’t make the list!!

I've tried 1,2,4,7,8,11,12,17,18,22,23,43,47,49,50 - 15/50

I have to agree that the Epic range from NZ is awsome beer (Pale Ale is my favorite). We were introduced to it in a trendy little bar in Gisborne on this years InnFORCEers Tour

I've tried half a dozen, and really should get down to trying a few more. Especially in July when demand might be a bit lower.

Mind you, I had a look at the list of UK beers, and I'm a little concerned with how the list is compiled. They have 13 beers from the same brewery in the top 50 and include such egregious monstrosities as: Bass, Sam Smiths Imperial Stout and Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. Indeed, unless you are a stout, porter or IPA you don't seem able to get on the list. I sense a distinct bias in the judging panel.

15/50

Now there's surprise - only 15.

I've tried a few of the Hitachino's from Japan not sure which ones or if they were good or not, I just remember the Owl on the bottles. Actually I was with Jedi when he was in Philly a couple years ago.

[JediKnight]

Favourite drop at the moment is James Squire Golden Ale....served on Qantas flights.

Not a beer drinker ( Tdevil can attest ) but I do taste everything........best in Africa must be Manica ( Mozambique ) and then of course 2M...........Black Label ( RSA ) not too bad.

Tried those. The International Beer Shop in West Leederville had a selection when a few mates and I did a strong beer tasting evening. The Hitachino's are rice beers and fruit(-ish) flavoured, and made a refreshing change from some of the really dark heavy stouts we had.

Dos Equis Amber.....smooth, rich, classy....it's a nice drop

[WaterBoy]

There's nothing like a Bintang
On a hot n humid day
Or a Redback out at dinner
When the steaks are on the way
But my favourite is the one
That comes from WA
The Black Swan upon its side
Swan Lager's best i say.


Actually drinking Amsterdam Mariner at the mometn becasue its cheaper than the Swan Draught at the moment. Can't seem to buy Swan Lager anymore.

Not really a beer drinker but had a nice Witbier from the Colonial Brewery in Margaret River this weekend. Little Creatures Pale Ale's always a good choice too.

....can we vote for worst beer? When I was on exchange in the USA I had a beer by the name of Natural Light (aka "natty" light). I wouldn't even call it a beer....complete and utter rubbish!!
