Talking to me old bloke recently about beer (I am 42, he is 62). I grew up in Rockhampton, Central QLD, he Emerald CQ.
I was 12 Yrs old during the QLD beer strike but can remember it quite well. Since that, I can unfortunetleay remember through my formative years that beer came from Pubs that were Red (Castlemaine) or Blue(Carlton) Pubs.

Can anyone remember this and more importantly can anyone remember the early breweries, their brews and their demise/ circumstances of the breweries which each town/city in Oz had years ago. What did our forefathers here drink, was it good/ bad and why did id dissapear...

Love to try and replicate a few Oz beers from the early 20th Century if I could
