haha, a “cheeky beer” as I recall. Was just thinking you might want to check out Chris (the author of this guest post’s site for some inspiration) his plans were similar to yours.

Hahaha!

“If you find yourself buying rounds of drinks with an Aussie pray he has a girlfriend to go home too or you’re in for a long night”

So true.

My favourites are the blokes who say “ok, we’ll hit the pub after work for a sneaky beer or two”… and we leave at 2am.

I love my country and I miss these beer code of ethics. I can’t wait to return home soon for a couple of ice cold beers in frosted glass of Toohey’s New, and Carlton Draught and Crown Lager and James Boag and… so many to choose.

Hi Steph,

Great article…looking at the comments it seems to me that there is a close following of all things Australian and drink-related.

One of my favorite Australian experiences is having a cold one while on the east coast. Beautiful country!

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

Thanks Rob, I’m not much of a VB fan. Much prefer a Coopers Pale Ale or a cheap one like Pure Blonde.

Your right goon is a ritual and must also be tried by every visitor, the fact that its the cheapest drink you can buy in a 2 litre bag is beside the point

I’ve been in Australia 8 months now, and still haven’t met an ozzie that can drink as long as I can Any challengers out there?

XXXX is nice, I also like VB (Victoria Bitter) I suppose because it’s like an English beer. Funnily enough I’ve only seen Fosters once here but am not having it, as it compels me to instantly vomit out the amber piss.

Nice tips though Chris, good to read before going, but as with anything, you pick these things up when here. Goon is in every backpack in Australia I think.

I’m at the sunshine state and yet to try XXXX. There’s just too much variety here! I’ll have a swig or two of it with my mates next time. Btw, there’s a Filipino song called ‘Beer’ by Itchyworms. Hehehe

Word on the street is if Chris wakes up and there aren’t 25 comments heads will be rolling so I’ll weigh in.

Fosters isn’t that bad, I wouldn’t order it but if it were free I’d take it.

I learned early, in Byron Bay, that Foster's is NOT Australian for beer. .-= Dave´s last blog ..Friday Flashback: Southern Laos & The Mekong River =-.
