Fluid plans

YIC's plans abroad are fairly fluid. Why worry about tomorrow? Tomorrow will look after itself. Today brings troubles enough of its own. They are also fluid in another sense: he is sampling Australian beers. Patrick and Tristan Miller collect bottle tops, so naturally YIC feels beholden to try out as many different beers as possible. Greater love hath no man...

A selection of beers tried to date are:
Little Creatures - a microbrewery/pub in Fremantle, their Bright Ale is particularly recommended.
Beez Neez - a refreshing wheat beer
James Squire - various ales available, YIC prefers the Golden Ale at 4.5% as a thirst quencher
Snowy Mountains Brewery - the Crackenback Pale Ale is a cracker

These "beers" are akin to UK lager, but have more taste than Euro-fizz. Also they are "real" - they are not pasteurised, treated with chemicals etc. If you prefer the latter option, then there is always the national staples of VB or Carlton Mid (both of which are generally suited for laying down and avoiding).
