[AusMap] Australian Beer/Brewing Database

This site hasn't been updated since the late 1990's. Now that micro-breweries are on the rise in Australia once again, I should get back to documenting them. ... jas, July 2007

Yes ... that would be a good idea ... jas, July 2008

Australia, by and large, is a land of light lagers that are only marginally more tasty than the American Budmilloors style. This makes a lot of sense given our generally hot and dry climate, but it makes the pickings a little sparse for the beer connoisseur, However, there are still some exceptional beers made here that make it all worthwhile.

This collection contains information about Australian beers, brewers, hotels, along with assorted miscellaneous trinkets of information about drinking in Australia (... even a few beer coasters).

If you get lost, clicking on the [AusMap] will always bring you back to this page.
