[Leica] beer

[freakscene at weirdness.com (Marty Deveney)]

Tooheys New is brewed in Lidcombe, Sydney.  I had several at the cricket on 
Thursday night.  It's pretty good, but I like Tooheys Old better - a dark 
ale style beer and the first that John Thomas Toohey started brewing at his 
original brewery at Darling Harbour in 1869.  Tooheys Old and a Western 
Australian dark beer called Dogbolter are the only Australian beers in the 
Great Beer Guide.

Here in SA, we have Coopers, who produce rather startlingly good Pale and 
Sparkling Ales and a variety of other great brews.  Tasmania's Cascade 
brewery produces a very nice Premium Lager and used to seasonally release 
several very tasty beers (Spring Fest, Summer Blonde, Autumn Amber and 
Winter Warmer), two of which (Blonde and Amber) are now part of their 
Degrave's Collection.

My favourite is Piss Beer http://www.pi55.com/ just for the name.

Fosters is reasonably uncommon in Australia, fortunately, since it's among 
the most average Aussie beers.  Most Australians do live up to their 
reputation of liking to drink.  I am partial to a tipple myself.

Most people can only judge of things by the experiences of ordinary life, 
but phenomena outside the scope of this are really quite numerous.
