Best beer on earth

[Guest]

Hi all,



Now everyone knows that SPEIGHTS is the best beer on earth so I was just wondering why you cannot buy it in Australia?

Hey Mr Willy, I have tried Coopers Pale Ale. Not a bad drop. Is Coopers from South Australia?



Thanks for posting so much lately. It will help revive the board a bit i am sure. Maybe everyone has been hibernating through the winter.

[Mr_Willy]

Yeah, Glen, made right here in good old South Oz - i love it, but im more of a bourbon drinker (love jim beam).

And the posting - no worries, its coming into squid season here, just waiting for some constant warm weather and the water to clear up, so i thought i might come in here and see if i cant get some help to improve my success rates!

Keep up the good work, mate!

Best beer = Asahi Super Dry. It is imported, so a bit more expensive than VB, but tastes like heaven. Sure you can't get Speights in Oz? I'd like to try it.

Yeah I have tried Asahi. Very nice beer I agree. It nice to go to Dan Murphy's every once in a while and pick a few new beers and give them a try. Negra modello from mexico is also worth trying.



I saw speights on sale once in a coles liquor store in brisbane but I think the manager was a kiwi. Another new zeland beer i have seen recently on sale in melbourne is monteith's but it is not as good as speights. Another very good NZ beer is called "Tui". I think it is a north island beer. Speights is a south island beer. There is a bit or rivallry between the two islands it seems.



Cheers!

Hi Glen,

Cheers for the Speights link, I just got a good looking beer batter recipe from their website. Yes, Tui is nice, also Steinlager. I'll keep Negra modello in mind! I have been homebrewing for a few years now with Coopers kits, they are great, especially real ale and india pale ale.

Best beer in Australia to my taste is James Squires Which was the first ever beer brewed in Australia which is blended in Honey and Tassie Oak..



Mr Willy Ya dont know what ya talking about when it comes to beer of coarse you can get speights in Australia which i do beleve you can get at the bombay bicycle on Toorens rd South OZ





The history of beer dates back to Ancient babylon times Where women invented beer for the enjoyment of there husbands just a bit of useless information



i reckon another good beer is called aleffe blonde very very smooth drink..



Ashi isnt to bad either but not my style of beer



cheers

I found another dark beer I like:



Grimbergen DUBBEL



several malts and double fermentation.

Alc. 6.5 % vol.

Flavour: An abbey beer, Burgundy in colour, very full bitter-sweet flavour with hints of caramel.

Grimbergen Dubbel is a fantastic name for a beer, I'll have to try it.



I have a nice drinking home-brewed stout at the moment, about 8-9% alcohol, Glen remind me to bring a bottle to the next floundering trip!

:blink: :blink:

[glen]

sounds good! thanx <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/zorro.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The Captain recommends Steel Reserve 211. 8% alcohol and tastes like jet fuel. Get's the job done though.



I do pound a few Foster's every now and then though! Haw ! Foster's is the only Australian lager that I can find here in my area of Florida, USA.

[glen]

hi Captain Fumunda,



thanks for the tip - so how strong is this beer really?



cheers, glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer_mug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' />

[Captain Fumunda]

Glen,



It's pretty potent. I buy it in 24 ounce cans for $1.00. It's not the greatest but it is cheap. I don't know if you can get it in your neck of the woods!
