E10 or Premium...
Skim or Fullcream
sugareens or sugar
Marg or butter
its full strength beer or nothing 
Just be careful in Canada. I was drinking light beers as I had to drive not realising light means light on calories...it's still 4.2% alcohol. Got stopped by the police on the way home to but all ok
As a recent immigrant I can affirm that the majority commercial mid strength australian lagers taste like piss.
Also the majority of commercial full strength australian lagers taste like piss.
Don't be offended because half of them aren't even australian owned anymore. I'm convinced they are made by adding carbonated alcohol water (3.5% or 4.6%) to concentrated beer flavour. Thats not how you make real beer.
Coopers is a cut above though, the red is top class and 5.7% and the green is tasty too. The stout is even strong and nice in winter. As was said before its Family owned and you're not posting your dollars to Kirin Japan.
Mid strength beer is an abomination. Pregnant women should drink stout. Drivers should not drink.
Mid strength beer is only good for identifying phonies and untrustworthy types.
Ive got one of those kegorator thingos, kindly looking after it fo a mate whos moved to Honkers, my current fav is
Home Brew made by someone else!!!!
Chilli Bintang
I now cook my own beer at my local micro brewery.
The beer tastes amazingly good, full strength and no additives, preservatives etc so the hangovers the next day aren't so bad.
...and its great value too $170 for around 7 cartons.
prepare to be shocked
The legendary iconic beer that is Emu bitter - is a light beer - with a 4.0% alcohol.
They snuck that one in nicely (perhaps to service mines that only allow mid strength)
I used to be a proud Emu bitter or export drinker -especially in the face of all those $50 cartons of 24 bottles of 330 ml (another rip - give me 375ml or piss off) - i really like the taste
- but after these sneaky snips at my beer enjoyment i am Coopers all the way
The world truly has gone crazy.
Emu Bitter - YUK! As you age your taste for fine beers improves. Drinking the Emu range is for those starting out in the alcohol world like 15 - 16 year olds. Those in their 40's+ should be drinking premium beers as thier taste buds evolve.
my taste buds actually like Emu - especially export. I reckon its really quite a fine beer.
EB and Coopers Pale ale actually tied for a best beer in Australia review - but that was around 10 years ago - so it goes to show that everyone has an opinion.
I also really like anything that coopers do - and i like Tiger beer too - especially when in Asia
I wonder how much beer preferences are marketing image vs how much is the actual taste.
For example :Corona - completely pointless no taste overpriced beer - but i dont mind drinking it. One thing i like about Corona is that they actually increased their bottle size from 330 to something like 350 mls
Apart from some really cheap American beer i am yet to drink a beer i didnt really like.
If you poured any of the 'dry' beers, low carb beers and the better quality low alcohol beers into a glass most people would drink it and enjoy it and get pissed and would believe they were drinking whatever you told them it was. (not including coopers/little creatures and fruitier style beers)
Leave the snobbery for the wino's.
If you're only having one or two then go for a more exotic taste, if you're gonna have a skinful you'll be too pissed to notice what you're drinking anyway, won't remember them and might as well save yourself 20 to 30 bucks on the carton.
A few years back I was going on an extended remote camping trip and wanted tinnies for ease of transport and disposal (campfire). Being in the booze industry I lined up all the commercial beers available and went through the lot in a blind tasting.
Actually got my staff involved in it too just as a point of interest, much to our surprise Export came out miles ahead of anything else.
Coopers Mild - orange label. Has a semblance of flavour unlike Gold or Mid.
Gold is only acceptable on the Saturday of the Gabba Test match (Nov 10 this ywear against the Saffas) when by law you must drink 20 in a day.. (one of 2 days we are allowed out now)
Someone gave me a case of Gold once....it sat in the fridge for close to a year and then i through it out....
VB is the rioters beer of choice
Fosters is for tourists
Coronas are for hetros that are still deciding weather they are gay or trendi
Crownies are for those who think they deserve a treat ( yuk )
Emu is for ........well I not quite sure who would put their lips to that.
xxxx is just disgusting
I happy drinking good cold tooheys from a bottle or scoona...
Non of this canned crap.
