I think Adelaide could do a lot better in the craft beer market. There are a few micros out there, one not so far from me but the brewery is closed to the public and I don't see the beers anywhere for sale.
Trouble with Adelaide is on one hand it's a wine state - yep, they practically give the stuff away here, I haven't paid for wine in the last ten years - and on the other hand we got Coopers which is really just a big microbrewery. They do a fine job but also limited in styles.
The home brewing fraternity is alive and well here, especially full grain brewing so I guess there is a lot of people like me around who just brew their own and mostly give up on the local micros. I will drink Vale Ale when I can find it and a couple of others but finding places that sell them is like looking for hens teeth - exception goes to The Wheaty of course.
