With the usual disclaimers on changing tastes and no particular order, and with a bit of breakdown into fives so I could add more beers... :icon_drunk:


Australian Overall:

• Kooinda Full Nelson IPA
• Bacchus Obama Black IPA
• Feral Hop Hog
• Bridge Roads Bling
• 4 Pale

Honourable mention: Jamieson Beast IPA

Australian Generally Available Bottles:

• Little Creatures Pale
• Mildura Storm Cloudy
• Stone & Wood Pacific
• White Rabbit Dark
• Cooper's Dark

Honourable mentions: Tooheys Old, Cooper's Lager & Pale Ale (when there is only megaswill to be had)

Australian Draught:

• Matilda Bay Alpha
• Holgate ESB
• MT Yippy IPA
• Brisbane Brewhouse BPA
• Sunshine Coast Best Bitter

Honourable mention: Brisbane Brewing's Taffinator Dopplebock (R.I.P.)


When in Seattle:
Overall:

• Deschutes Mirror Pond
• Big Sky IPA
• Grand Teton Bitch Creek ESB
• Sierra Nevada Torpedo
• Green Flash West Coast IPA

Honourable mentions: Victory Hop Devil IPA, Anchor Steam


Local Washington State brews:

• Black Raven Trickster IPA
• Roslyn Dark Lager
• Northern Lights Solar Wind
• Naked City Pale Rider
• Boundary Bay Dry-hopped IPA

Honourable mentions: Too many really. But the honourable honourable mentions would be Georgetown Brewing's Mannys Pale and Mac & Jack's African Amber (these two taps seemed to have managed to get themselves into every bar in town), and Red Hook ESB. Though a transparent ghost of it's original self of 1981, it was the beer that got me off Rainier lager and into micros. Since AB/Inbev distributes it in the states, a tap will most likely be found almost anywhere in the U.S..

**** Snowy that's a good batch. Throw Lobethal Pale Ale in there and your talking my favourite sips anywhere.

[bowie in space]

LCPA - hopefully doesn't change too much
CPA - an ol' Aussie favourite
SNPA- what a beer, jam packed full of tasty goodness
Abbot Ale - subtly superb
Probably Pilsner Urquell or Budvar coz I gotta pick something other than an ale...right??

BTW, there are shitloads of beers on these lists I haven't tried, primarily because I drink my own beer at home nine times out of ten.

Except when I'm at the pub, then it's whatever craft beer I can get, followed by Toohey's Old, then XXXX gold as a last resort.
