I am a Australian - we do beer a lot! Favourite style is a pilsner or an IPA, am also partial to some of the wheat beers, brown ales and the extra dry styles..... we don't get much in the way of US beer down this way - I have tried some of the sierra Nevada (?) beers which are quite good but I find most of the generic US beer we get here to be a bit sweet and a bit light (most Aussie beers start at 5% and go up from there) but I am sure there are some fantastic micro brews to be found......should put together a "must try" list for the next time I get over General everyday drinking beer - James Squire Pilsner or James Boag's Tasmanian Larger Full flavour - Coopers Sparkling Ale Something special - Stone & wood pacific ale Imported favourite - Hefeweizen wheat beer
