Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart, Geelong, Canberra, Brisbane, Bendigo, Port Macquarie, Coff's Harbour, Byron Bay, etc. I can't say that I made a strong effort to find beers, but just checked as I went along. Many bars told me they don't carry Pilsners, and many thought sour beers were beers with sour fruit in it! I spent most of my time in the Melbourne area where I went to several bars. The best common beer I could find was called XXXX, but it wasn't all that great. Most bars had lots of British style ales and American-style IPAs, but lagers and especially Pilsners were really frowned on. Most of the time I felt like an idiot asking for lagers and Pilsners, and I quickly learned to stop asking for sours..There are traditional German lagers made here , sours are an expanding part of our market as well .
A friend of mine makes nothing but farmhouse and sour ales .
Where abouts in Australia were you ?
