Great topic - looking forward to seeing all the different responses.
I like a larger, something crisp and not too bitter...
For years I used to stick to Carlton Cold, then Pure Blonde, but then they changed the acohol content (and the taste), so I started trying other brews...
Now I just go to the local BWS and see what's on special, Stella, Budwieser, Heineken etc and see where that takes me... Most recently, I have been getting into Millers (US) and SOL (Mexico)...
Billabong Pale Ale (BPA)... Highly recommended. Think hops, like Little Creatures Pale Ale (mmmmm)... Think it is ~$66 for 24, retail, selected bottle-o's... Make your own has just gone up (
), but is pretty good at $180 for ~140 stubbies - depending on the keg, and how thirsty you get while bottling and brewing
I used to brew my own ale from scratch and loved it. Still got all the gear but never seem to have the time any more.
There are some wonderful ales around but my current favourite is Fat Yak. Had it by chance on tap down in Melbourne... YUM! Good standby that's not too expensive and always easy to find is Coopers Pale Ale.
I don't favour lagers so much any more but I do love Pilsner Urquell. Can't beat the smell of the Saaz hops in that. Most Czech lagers I've tried are pretty good (and defintely better than most German stuff I've tried) but PU is way above them all.
Definitely NOT any Little Creatures stuff! Sorry, just can't stomach the Cascade hops they use.
I love beer.
My usual tipple is a Guinness.
Its the zen of beer. Well balanced thick creamy and represents unity
Some very very clever old ads out there for guinness.
Guinness is good too, although we prefer Coopers Extra Stout. Stouts are also ales...
BTW, GreenPat... can't you read. The bottom bin says VEGETABLES!
mmmmm.... Cascade hops...
GreenPatch, BPA is Billabong's Pale Ale recipe... it MAY be similar to other hoppy Pale Ales from Freo
Guinness and anything Tasmanian... we were on holiday there last Easter and I was overly influenced by the "Buy Tasmanian" campaign.
Being a Taswegian, I try to empty the state of beer each time I return
I reckon the Tassie micro's are the go... Moo Brew, Hazards... mmmm...

Beer I'm drinking right now....
If you like Beck's or Heineken then Peroni is highly recommended for you
Beer that can only be bought occasionally because six is never enough.
Well I may be a bit old fasion but I'm enjoying a Carlton Dry at the the moment..Next week I'll have to put up with Bintang I hope the wind is blowing??
I go through phases, after going to the Waifs concert at Freo last year where (from memory) the only beer you could get was pints of Litttle Creatures Pale Ale, I was stuck on that for a while.
There may have been something else available but the first pint of pale tasted so nice thats all i wanted, and they just got better.
Lately though it has been the LC Bright Ale.
Don't mind a Guinness as well, particulaly at this time of the year.

Feral Brewery - make a great white ale, won awards before they even bottled it.
Matild Bay - following the groundbreaking success of Redback - now producing the FatYak Pale ale, 8.5 out of 10!
Coopers - Red or Green, i dont discriminate.
Saporo - If i can afford it!
Whienstephaner - They have been making it since the 1800's!
Matso's - Mango Beer/ ginger Beer, both absolutley neccessary to un-pickle your mouth in summer after hours of salt water ingestion.
Sooo many more!!
