Mid strength beer.

One has to ask why?

Its like caffiene free coffee alcohol free wine nicotene free ciggies or sugar free coke.

Pointless.

full strength or nothing, what's the point in between?, not real taste

Crownie for me! Mmmmmm

You want a slice of lime with that ya big pirf?

No, I dont like lime

Bought alcohol free beer in Japan by accident. Thought I was picking up a bargain, but figured it looks too good to be true... so only bought 1... Worked out quickly it was 0% and confirmed when I combed over the fine print. So I put it back into my fridge, and that was my cleansing ale night cap, later on that night... Basically flavoured water!! But in a good way!

blah! (in a bad way! - like vomit blah! )

Stella, Asahi, Peroni, Kirin (first press), Cascade Prem, Boags Prem, ... Pilsner styles for me!

Coopers... still Aussie Owned and Aussie Made...
(I reckon 97%+ of your money stays onshore in Aus when you buy their stuff... They would have only made a few foreign purchases in relation to Capital Plant... perhaps some imported stainless steel bits and bobs, and maybe an imported bottling and capping machine... (I said maybe imported))

Very true elcoco but only as far as lager or Pilsner (same horse different jockey) is concerned. These styles need an ABV around 5-6% to give them a bit of mouthfeel and viscosity or they do come across as watery.

Once you move away from lagers to ales you can quite easily get away with an ABV of 3.5-4.5% Most of your English Bitter Ales sit around this sort of level and are a far better drink than the muck that CUB and Lion Nathan try to tell us is beer.

The next step up from here is IPA's (India Pale Ale) these were based off the English Bitter Ale recipe but had the ABV boosted up to 6-7% to help preserve the brew on it's travels to the continent from the Blighty. Now these things are real beer. Feral Brewery's Hop Hog is one of the best examples in the world and has taken out champion brew the last few years running at the Oz Beer Awards, it's worth a trip out to the brewery just for a Sunday sesh of this stuff on tap. Farking sensational beer and it is almost as good in bottle as it is on tap.

My personal favourite range of brews comes from the Anderson Valley Brewing company in California avbc.com/our-beers-black-rice-ale/ their Boont Amber Ale is the best bottled beer I have ever had.

If anyone wants to check out some intersting beers try The Freo Doctor in Arundel St Freo, Mane Liquor - GE HWY Belmont, International Beer Shop - McCourt St Leederville, even the bottlo at The Whistling Kite has a pretty good range, but mainly English stuff.

Coopers red.. first preference

That is almost tighter than anything I have ever heard !!!

I can and usually do turn into an obnoxious dick when Pissed, so for job security at work functions I'll often go for mids or sit on the full strengths. Other times where I'm free to disgrace myself it's a different story.

Beer makes my middle strong

I told you to switch to mids, now look what ya have done to your eye you idiot

I thought Rodney had gotten hold of Marks log in details.

And then they call the cops on you!!! That's gold
