I love them. You can have more drinks and still drive home and be under the limit (importantly).

In order of taste;

James Squire The Constable - 3.4%
Little Creatures - Rogers - 3.8%
Lazy Yak - 3.5%
Coopers - Mild Ale - 3.5%

In order of cheapest to most expensive

Coopers $47 (375ml bottle)
Lazy Yak $48 (330ml bottle)
James Squire $49 (345ml bottle)
Little Creatures $62 (330ml bottle)

James Squires is miles ahead in taste IMO.

Others I've tried;

XXXX Gold - myah, will drink it on tap if it's cheap
Great Northern - ok
Hahn Super Dry 3.5 - terrible, my wife drinks it.
Carlton Mid - ok


Cheers, I'll sample some more.

I have a portable breatho and the missus and I have a deal, if it's her family shindig, I'll drive and vice versa, but now I've found a couple of decent lighter options I don't mind taking a 6 pack as I can be there for 2-3 hours and still register under 0.02, end up winning a couple of points for when we get home too as she would've toppled a bottle of champers or two.


Said it a while back and I’ll say it again. Best mid-strength I’ve had by the length of the Flemington straight is Woolshed Brewery’s River Time Session Ale. On tap it’s one of the best beers I’ve ever had.

Does the Woolshed do anything poorly though?

We were tempted to camp the houseboat there for 3 days instead of going up to the border and back! :lol:

I had it for the first time Xmas eve this year in one of SA’s greatest front bars in the Renmark Hotel. I thought I’d try it and i couldn’t tell it was mid-strength. The best part was we went back in Xmas morning as they open the doors for a couple hours on the house like all great country pubs do.

Tried the Coopers XPA last weekend (ironically founds it in a Melbourne bar before Adelaide) and I like it, bit like a Fruity Pale IMO

Just trying the Coopers XPA at the Gepps X.
Tastes ok, seems a bit flat.
Probably wouldn't bother again, much prefer Session or Pale.

Yummy even. ;)

Ive been a fan of lobethal beerhaus red truck porter for a while, but had a go at the choc oatmeal stout and probably got a new favorite from there.
Probably good as an intro to stouts i guess for those who havent turned to the dark side yet.

Picked up some cans of a Mexican XX beer...at Dans. $22 for 12 cans.

Anyway, it does the job before i ease into my dark ales. But ive noticed with all these Mexican style beers that they need a squirt of lemon/lime juice if you dont have any real lemon/limes to help make them palatable

Thought I’d give the John Boston Pale Ales a try as they were on special at the bottleo... Very fruity, bit like the Lashes but even more so, and every single bottle spews about %10-20 out when you take the cap off.

Verdict: No wonder it was on special, stick with the tried and trusted Coopers variety from now on.
