I'm a little more commercial-

)

If your looking to expand your horizons past VB:
Chimay (blue or red) - Made by Franciscan monks in Belgium. All natural, 9%, no hangover, expensive but worth it. Best in cold weather.

I'm not particular. Anything that tastes like vegemite with alcohol in it is ok.
Beer. The third best invention ever.
I like whatever the local beer is.
Right now I am in Japan and drinking a half litre can of Sapporo. Its great.
Back in NSW I drink new from the tap and I love it. I also get Reches form the tap and its great too.
One of the best beer I had was VB from the tap at a pub in St Kilda. It was fresh beer and tasted great.
I reckon there are two important factors when it comes to beer, freshness and the water it was brewed from.
Sapporo is good.
Whilst in that region I also like Yanjing & Tsing Tao.
I enjoyed NZ for their beers.
Stella, Becks & Heineken are all a bit over-rated IMO. I would drink them anyday though over any of the mainstream aussie beers.
Another bad beer-
Bavaria
I'm with you Curac, except for the Carlton Draught. (used to drink it though).
But, being a parochial Taswegian, I obviously swill Boags at any given opportunity. But I've just made a New Year's Resolution, well better late than never, to write down all the top drops mentioned so far, hunt them down, and give them a go. One must broarden one's horizens, one must.
mmm, beer!
James Squire (no relation)
Boags
What the hell is VB. Is it supposed to be a beer?
The best beer I can find in a can is Boags Draught. Have to take cans on some trips away with the lads due to weight restrictions. Can anyone suggest a better beer in a can.
Hmmmm...
Fan of Cass Lager - South Korea
Tecate and Dos Equis - Mexico
Hoegaarden - Belgium
I tried the Red Chimay at the Belgium Beer Cafe in Brisbane, not a fan at all.
