West End Draught lol, thats a reason why South Australia should be dumped on, cos thats poor with a capital P, the only beer id turn down and ask for a water if thats not available - a big hard slap across the face.

Lowenbrau is a beautiful drop - reasonably priced too, had the pleasure of drinking that in the place of its origin - Munchen..damn i love the maskrugs (1 litre steins for roughly 5 bucks). If i got money to waste - Weinstephaner, many varieties and i havent tried them all, but my favs are Dunkel and Kristall, both wheat beers, Kristall being filtered. These two babys are my fav beers, and would reccomend them to anyone, provided your willing to pay for them. Also while in Germany, i was introduced to Schneider Weisse and Schneider Aventinus, again both wheat, and close rivals to Weinstephaner, although not as easily found as in Australia. Many others were tasted, and have not had the pleasure to again (unfortunatly).

I agree with the Hoegaarden brigade, nice beer, but not my prefered option, and omg, coronas.....image in a bottle, but each to their own.

Point of Post - Go the Tooheys New!!!!
Another decent one is Schloffenhoffer. I think it's a bit cheaper than the Weinstephaner too.

I still think that for a decent Aussie beer, Cascade Amber Ale is great stuff. James Squire also make a few good beers. Grand Ridge. Many good Aussie beers at very good prices. Grand Ridge's wheat beer is also very good...I heartily recommend it.
