Popular Australian Beers
The most popular style of beer throughout Australasia is light-flavoured, quite gassy lager. The lager beers are produced there with generic lager yeast and pale malt, thus having a refreshing as well as drinkable taste. These beers are easily drinkable and good for hot conditions. One of the best known such beers is Foster's, an international lager brand.
Given the tradition for light beers, there are many excellent Australasian beers which have been modelled on English and German beers. Recent times have seen an increase in independent breweries, producing tasty, unique beers.
On the other hand, Hahn Red has a malty, bitter finish, being quite a fruity brew. These beers taste more like a German Pilsner than any other lager. Other key Australian beers are Cascade Premium, Crown beer and Coopers Premium Ale.
