I could murder a pint of Bitter.

[Young Flinny]

I could absolutely destroy a pint of real bitter, none of this pretend Aussie rubbish. Is their anywhere other than The Elephant (which does Tetley's) that I can get a pint of something like Theakstons.

 

I'm not talking that carbonated James Squire rubbish either.

 

Sincerly,

A parched Yorkshireman.

You can get tetleys in cans from the bottle shops at Christies and seaford

Funny that, when back in the UK last August, i couldn't drink that stuff they sell in the pubs, it pretended to be beer but was like warm water.

You can get a good selection of stuff from Dan Murphy's. Tetley's, John Smiths, Boddingtons etc. But nothing beats a golden brown pint of hand pulled in a pub that smells like stale alcohol and has a tar stained carpet.

 

I'll have make do with Yorkshire Tea for now.

Aye, best of the Aussie beers I've had.

Have you tried the microbreweries that are dotted around? There is the Port Dock Brewery, in Port Adelaide; the Lobethal Bierhaus in the Hills; and the Steam Exchange in Goolwa. Think there is also one called the Myponga Brewery on the Fleurieu Peninsula (at Myponga, I'd guess!)

 

The first two I know for sure do "tasting" platters (small measures of each of their beers so you can try and decide which you like best before going for a big glass).

I have, not my cup of tea unfortunately, thanks for replying though.

 

Somebody mentioned Hahndorf, I love it there, wish it was only easier to get home from, I must befriend a Hahndorfian with a nice comfortable couch.

Couldn't agree more with Lynsteve. UK beer is absolute garbage - like lukewarm dishwater. The sooner you get a taste for real aussie beer, the better.

[Guest cbeeb]

Microbrewery in mclarenvale cannot remember name but beer really good. ekidna wine do own beer only at cellar door not in bottles yet but do happy hours thursday and friday. great food.
