Kick Back Brewing at Aldinga - Very true to the names of the beers, the pales are just that, the IPA is hoppy without being rude and the venue (right near Aldinga Footy Club) is a ripper spot. 1lt growlers are $15-18 depending on what you put in it ( no cans or stubbies ) but the refills are $12-14 once you've got the growler.
Shape Shifter Brewing at Beverley - Cool little joint in an old warehouse / workshop space on Crittenden Road, the Cosmic Crusher Hazy IPA at 7.3% is a winner, really full flavor and packs a punch with it and the Just Like Heaven Juicy Pale is a hot day specialty. The cans designs are awesome too.
Wallaroo Bond Store - The IPA is a ripper, one of the more subtle IPA's I've tried, clearly aiming at the drinker who isn't into full blown craft beers but wants to try something new but if not grab the Crisp Lager, it would be perfect after 60 overs in the field.

My days of drinking beer to get pissed are way gone. Not worth the hangover anymore.
I buy whatever beer I like without worrying about the cost.

Every year I go to the Robe Brewery, 27 beers on tap or in stubbies,
there's not one that I would buy,
craft beer is shit.
I'm a dinosaur & proud of it too.

Funny how "dinosaurs" like their draughts then you see / hear / read them talking about a nice red and not some plonk in a box.

Saying you don't like craft beer is like saying you don't like home cooked meals, BBQs, restaurants or fine dining and only like McDonalds.
Working in a pub for the last few years has been a real eye opener for me though, I'm constantly amazed by how many people will just drink the cheapest beer of the month and then proclaim how shit it tastes and then go onto have 6 more. I don't get it especially when there's a huge choice of pubs in the area.
I go to pubs where there's drinks myself and the missus enjoy are. There's so much choice around here so we can usually also add atmosphere and a few other components such as staff and clientele to our wish list.
Just as an aside do the West End Drinkers find their Japanese owned swill tastes different since made interstate? Most people I know that drink it have complained it does at several different venues.

How is not liking craft beer akin to liking McDonald’s?

Like I said, Robe Brewery, 27 beers and I find them all horrible, as do the 50 years old + blokes that go there with me.
