Australian Beer 

Australia produces some of the finest beers in the world.

Lagers are the most popular beers produced in Australia but a number of other varieties are also produced, such as stout, pale ale, pilseners, bitters and draughts.

Australia's oldest brewery is Tasmania's Cascade Brewery, which was founded in 1824 and continues to produce the ever popular Cascade Premium Lager (and a light beer version) and Cascade Pale Ale.

Coopers Brewery is another important part of the Australian brewing tradition. Coopers is located in South Australia and its Pale Ale, Sparkling Ale and Premium Lager beers are hugely popular across the nation.

Victoria Bitter and Carlton Draught are also very popular beers in Australia. Carlton draught has quite a rivalry with Toohees in pubs and licenced venues.

Possibly the most well known Australian Beer is Fosters. Fosters is very well known in international markets such as Europe and the USA but it has very little appeal in Australia itself.

Australia also produces a number of premium beers, most notably Hahn and Crown Lager. Although new beers have began to enter the market such as Bluebottle Beer, which is a premium beer made for drinking with seafood.
Matilda Bay Premium and Mountain Goat Beer are some other small breweries doing big things in Australia.

what is also interesting is that in Australia, beer popularity and preference is largely influenced by the state you live in.
for example, in Queensland XXXX Beer is the most popular beer, however in Victoria that brand is practically unavailable in local pubs and Victorians prefer to drink Carlton Draught or Victoria Bitter.
