Beers from Oz

A while ago a friend of mine went to Australia, which inspired me to seek out a few Australian beers to try out. I’ve had enough Foster’s in my life to know better, so I searched a little harder and found a couple of beers from Coopers, a relatively large brewery which has a number of higher-quality brews.

The first is the vintage ale, which to be honest has a vintage taste about it. It’s not overly hoppy, and has very little head, but it was a tasty enough brew.

The second was the stout, which was quite good for a non-pub draft stout.

I wouldn’t hesitate to have either of these brews if I happened to be in Australia. While I wouldn’t call either of them remarkable, I’d certainly buy them again.
