So many good tips here I doubt I'll live long enough to try them all. I grew up on bloody awful Australian chemical beer. I won't mention the brands but you know them. I only realised my lack of education when, one winters evening, in a tiny village in Bavaria G and I visited the local restaurant and I ordered a local beer. Heaven in a glass! The best beer I have ever tasted and whenever we drive through Germany we make this village our stopover.
I can't admit this to my aussie mates and family but I have learnt to appreciate and enjoy the local ales (generally dismissed as warm beer by aussies) around the UK. There is taste that can be tasted and the alcohol content is relatively low.
So it's good beer from the tap, aussie red wine, Austrian white wine and in the depths of winter a pear schnaps.
