ANONYMOUS JONES'
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #25
THE SUBJECT BEERS REPEATING
On the general premise that a deeper understanding of the
beerography of Australia might have a bearing on your
choice of settlement locations in the land down-under, we
continue our discussion of beer on a more detailed basis.
Apart from peripheral events such as the Mindil Beach Beer
Can Regatta in Darwin, and the mainstream consumption of
the brew across the country, there are a few highlights.
These include "Cooper's Ale", brewed in the bottle in
Adelaide, and which looks like mud, but is generally
acclaimed as one of the great beers of the world; and
the two great breweries in Sydney, Tooth's and Toohey's.
The intensity of competition has polarized that city to
the extent that pubs specialize in only one brand or the
other, so confirm your preference BEFORE you select your
pub for the evening... And as befits a nation of beery
connoisseurs, you can stipulate the quantity of your quaff,
from the PONY, LADY'S WAIST or BUTCHER, all at 5 ounces,
the GLASS, the MIDDY, the POT, the SCHOONER, and the PINT,
which is not 16 ounces, but 20. Also, be sure to check
your wallet for sufficient lolly before you indulge in the
amber in a yankee shout, unless the school is mostly full
of two-pot screamers...
