We don't generally get too many of the American craft beers down here I have had some good and some bad ones but they have way more variety than the Aussie market. The higher quality American beers that are for sale here are generally way too expensive to drink on a regular basis especially considering you can get better European beers for less. The one thing I don't like about a lot of them is they tend to go over board with the hops. If you like Little Creatures Pale Ale you should try one of the Sierra Nevada Pale Ales I'm not huge on either but it is an example of American beer that you can easily find down under that isn't your usual budweiser or miller.

Also try these guys if you get a chance I was fond of it. Brooklyn Brewery

I used to like that Elephant Beer but tried some again recently and it made me feel a bit sick, same with Carlsberg special in the cans. I was in Malawi recently and they do a locally made weaker version of the special brew (6% rather than 9% ) and I didn't mind it still sweet but not as sickly as the original. Also it was often the only thing available...

I love cider too. I drink Rekordelig and Monteiths usually, and I've recently started appreciating Perry (pear cider) more and more. :)

The latest drop I sampled and really liked is called Beechworth Pale Ale.
The bottle i tasted had an AMAZING aroma of honey and spices, but was such a clean tasting beer. Apparently they tweak the taste from season to season.

I was wishing I could have bought a few slabs home on the plane, as you can only get it in certain areas of North East Victoria (Australia).

OMG i loves cider! It's not that popular here anymore though and about the only kind i can get is strongbow and a few others. We used to make our own when we where younger thanks to the large supply of crab apple tress around my area. Good stuff but after drinking half a bucket full your head is gonna hurt a wee bit the next day :(

Oh and fosters beer is absolute shit! Ive had it a few times and it's just yuck. About as bad as say molson canadian or labbatt blue which is pretty goddamn bad.
 
I've lived in Australian for 15 years and have never seen a Fosters.

I have taken a liking to Perry (pear cider) of late. Perfect sitting in the sun on a lazy afternoon drink. I might have to hand back my membership to the local German Club :(

^You're talking about Fosters right? Its crazy how popular it is everywhere except Australia. They even brew it in India! Personally I even stayed away from it there in favour of Kingfisher Strong.

Yeah we as a country haven't drunk that fosters swill since the late 70's early 80's.. we give it to the yanks cos they still think we ride kangaroos to work, and all that crocodile dundee shit.. No offense to our american friends.. just stereotyping at work!
 
^^ That's what i'm talking about:) Looks proper. Not seen it before .

Crispin Cider is based in Minneapolis, MN and produces hard ciders in Colfax, CA and Tiverton, Devon, England.

I'm going to try and get my hands on some which should prove easier than i first thought as they produce it in the U.K
