I never had the opportunity to try any aussie micro brews, they just wasn't around in the 80's.A beer from here in Australia called Fat Yak which is a pale ale and also another called James Squire(I used to work at they brewhouse) They make craft beers like Ales, Pilsners and IPA...They got one called Amber Ale and MY GOD...Thats shit is like Gods Piss!!
