Favourite Beers

[Guest ozarsenal]

What are your favourite beers?

 

I am looking into opening a restaurant / wine bar in Aldinga and would like to stock 3 or 4 beers that are popular with poms. I've been here 40 years and came out when I was 3, so need advice from those of you recently arrived!

 

So far I have had requested Stella (I know its Belgian), Newcy Brown and Boddingtons.

 

I guess Guinness is a must and Kilkenny seems popular. What else should I consider?

Have a look at the beers being brewed by the Lobethal Brewery and now sold in selected pubs. They do a lot of european styles and I'm reliably informed by my beer drinking (and brewing) husband that their beers are very nice!

Carling Extra Cold, mmmm, my favourite, younger brother and me treated ourselves to a crate at X-Mas. We bought them online, bit pricey but well worth it!!

I came over last august and everyone was drinking becks vier and san miguel. Must admit I do miss them. Here I drink Coopers Pale mostly.

[Guest ozarsenal]

Coopers Pale is a must in any drinking establishment in SA. Would probably have Becks, Heineken and Corona anyway, but thanks for the advice!

[Guest Tterrier81]

a recent beer i tried that i thought was really nice was vale ale, made down the road in mclaren vale

[Guest ozarsenal]

yep - that one was on the list already :-)

[xzibit]

If you stocked the pint of numbers I'd be there every day!!

[sueoc]

James Squire Golden Ale is a gudyun!

Ain't that the truth, that's one bar that we won't be visiting. Will you have a cabinet in your bar with replicas of all the trophies that Arsenal have won since 2005 ?

[sidestep]

Too many lagers:( I'd like to see something like Old Peculiar, Youngs Special, Abbot Ale or, just to put one out there, Tanglefoot but shipping them in would be an issue so how about Fat Yak instead? Imperial pints of course

[trevorpayne]

I would of thought Tetleys and John Smiths on Draught would go down well.

I would be in regular there for a smooth pint of Smiths.

[Guest Squareman]

Golden Ale and Amber ale are really good IMHO

[Guest Bodie]

Agreed. I'd also add Squires Sundown Lager. Great in a bottle beautiful on draught. So far the Pump in Aldgate has it...worth a trip chaps.

I'm a Fat Yak follower..starts as a Squire beer and finishes like Cooper's Pale I reckon

[Guest rhymney]

coopers pale ale mate and thats coming from a fellow arsenal fan

Hi,

 

Will you be serving Cider?? Or will i be the only one who likes that tipple?- I buy a pint of cold strongbow or thatchers old oak brewed from a good bar?

 

all the best with that, usually as long as its very cold and not flat it will be the answer

 

Cheers

Wouldnt of though there was much of a chance that both Spurs fans would be in Adeliade at the same time anyway

[minty]

Kronenbourg 1664 & Peroni are both popular in restraunts here.

[JimandBarbinAus]

What about wheat beers such as Hoegaarden, can you get them in Adelaide?

 

Cheers

[HEAPS GOOD !!!]

What about some Caffreys....mmm....and some Magners over ice on those summer evenings...

Yeah - I'll put it alongside the premier leagues you've won in the last 50 years;)

 

But seriously, everyone will be welcome. I have quite a few Spurs supporting mates. The rivalry here is more like Aussie Rules - a bit of friendly ribbing and a good laugh at the losing team, but none of the nasty stuff that you get in the UK.

 

We may even look at getting foxtel and holding meets if it gets busy enough.

Yes will definitely have cider!
