I drink XXXX regularly. I guess it can be inferred, therefore, that I’d drink anything on that map.

Coopers anything.
Yeah I can’t resist a Guinness at times either.
And I confess to a taste for Jimmy’s Amber. Which is about as far right as I will wander these days.

I’m a fan of the dark/thick brews.

If there are any Canberran’s among this crew, have you ever tried the Wig and Pen home brew range? mmmmMM Beeeeerrrrr

Pilsener Urquel is the nectar of gods… but I’m all over the shop. Anything except cheap aussie or US lagers is fine.

I hang about over the western side… all those eastern states, oops beers, can piss off for all I care.

Left-wing all the way…somewhere between Toohey’s Old and Coopers Stout (a truly fabulous drink). I would like to see Australian breweries populate the area of the map around Newcastle Brown Ale, though – that stuff’s like suckling honey from the breast of a virgin. Or something. PhD-student poverty means I haven’t tasted the stuff in over two years.

Anything but Tooheys.
After all the pubs around Melbourne Uni were purchased by Lion Nathan, we were forced to go drink in an old man’s pub. We didn’t know it then but it was also a hang out for various members of the underworld involved in the Gangland killings.

Here's the promised post on the politics of beer! (in place of a trackback).

Anybody else lucky enough to live in WA can get one of the best beers available anywhere, Alpha Ale from Matilda Bay. Truly great stuff.

I have to tip my hat at the Coopers range too, especially the Extra Strong Vintage Ale. James Squire should get a mention for the Porter and the Indian Pale Ale, but the rest is shit.

Your map is lovely and I am a lager lady and I like Cascade. On the REAL MAP I live in a city with a UNIVERSITY course and International Beer Judging Fest. Ballarat takes it’s beer seriously and when a whole bunch of local hotels were bought by Lion Nathan, the ute boys just moved away to where they could drink their choice. Lion Nathan owns some closed up pubs – I love that.
