Okay I've had a read of the last few pages and I have one point.
If we're trying to "invent" a new style that we can be proud of, I guess we don't need to be using solely Australian ingredients. We also don't necessarily need to follow craftbrewers in what they are doing. I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that styles such as American Brown Ale were pushed by homebrewers. As the craftbrewers saw what styles were popular among the homebrewers they started making those commercially.
The idea might be just to find a hole in the beer tapestry and make it our own...
What about a dark wheat beer that is highly hopped as opposed to a wheat and yeast driven dunkelweizen?
