City comparisons aside, you can judge cities by their famous beers, but only if you stick to commercial ones.

Sydney:
Toohey's New: Basic Lager - Pretty poo poo.
Toohey's Old: Dark Ale - Barely ok.
Toohey's Extra Dry: Dry Lager - Still poo poo
Resche's: Pilsner - Not entirely undrinkable.

Brisbane
Castlemaine XXXX Gold: Mid-Strength Lager - Piss.
Castlemaine XXXX Bitter: Pale Lager - Decent (I can't find it in NSW wales anymore and it's a guilty pleasure whenever I visit QLD because everyone assures me it is poo poo and I just don't understand why)

Darwin
NT Draught: Lager - Awful

Perth
Emu Bitter: Lager - Disgusting
Emu Export: EU Lager - Revolting
Swan Lager: Lager - Probably terrible

Adelaide
Cooper's "Green": Pale Ale - Great
Cooper's "Red": Sparkling Ale - Pretty good
West End Draught: Lager - Swill

Hobart
Cascade Draught: Lager - Very drinkable
Cascade Premium: Lager - Very drinkable

Melbourne
Victoria Bitter: Lager - Attrocious (Most popular beer in Australia)
Carlton Draught: Lager - Woeful
Melbourne Bitter: Lager - Shithouse, popular with hipsters (Australia's PBR)
Foster's Lager: Lager - Crap. Australian's don't actually like this as much as the ads claim.

I think you're being pretty generous for a lot of these.

Maximum Sexy Pigeon posted:

That said, the surge of microbreweries in Australia in the last 15 years means you can find ANYTHING to taste. So you don't have to drink any of these.

In particular I think this has exposed just how average Coopers is. It's still head and shoulders above the others though.

She also loved playing tapes of racist old songs, including one I remember called "I Hate Wogs". Even as a naive kid I knew that was messed up.

One of my racist uncle's favourites was "My boomerang won't come back", which to be fair was written by a pom. I could link it here because it's very relevant but I won't.

Speaking of the Melbourne Showgrounds, some of the best entertainment you can ever witness is when racing day at Flemington Racecourse coincides with something pop-culture or anime going at the Showgrounds.

Picture a bunch of people in their fancy expensive racing clothes, having to share a special-route train with cosplayers and wondering just what the gently caress is going on around them the entire trip. It's hilarious :allears:.

The people in their fancy expensive racing clothes are also cosplaying for the most part.

Australian breweries seem to gently caress up every foreign beer they brew under licence. I knew a girl in Ireland who worked for Guinness in the dept that managed licensees. Australian Guinness was widely regarded as the worst.

Only a problem if that state is South Australia. They can't even get pints right.

This leads me to a question:

Without going too obscure, who are the "Australiana" bands that never got big outside of Australia? And I am more thinking bands that didn't translate to foreign audiences, as opposed to bands that were just not good enough to get famous overseas.

As mentioned there is TISM, and Cold Chisel. But who else are/were superstars in Oz, but nobodies overseas?

I would posit Crowded House as a band that fits this criteria. As well as possibly Savage Garden and Human Nature. Darryl Braithwaite also qualifies as a local superstar who would be unknown anywhere else.

Joe Dolce for sure.

Serious answer, The Angels and The Divinyls both come to mind.

Both had limited success in the US but couldn't really break through.
The Angels had to change their name to all sorts of poo poo to avoid legal problems with other similarly named bands.
Chrissy Amphlett was just too horny for the US market at the time.

Both were fairly influential amongst a bunch of US bands.

The Cosmic Psychos also fit this profile.

They're huge on the OS festival circuit, they were having huge write-ups in Metal Hammer before most Australians had even heard of them.

It always bugs when a local band is goes from complete obscurity to international superstars like that, but without having a nuance of originality.
