Yeah weak beer, definitely needs a large dash of stout.
Used to get a great pint of Guiness on tap at the old Croydon pub opposite the station

Agreed, I love my big IPA’s most of the good ones are around 6.5 and above. Had a Kiwi one a few weeks ago in Queenstown that was 10.9.
Anyway there is a Victorian craft brewery called Saliors Grave, they make some insane IPA’s

Very interesting mate, have always preferred Coopers Pale Ale for the cloudy sediment in the bottom of the bottle, turn upside down and give it a rattle it's a good, flavoured beer.
Just recently bought a carton of Crown Lager, having trouble drinking it, tastes nothing like it did decades ago, probably has all these foreign ingredients going away from the original recipe, will never switch from Coopers again.
I agree about Cooper's Pale Ale being the best mass produced beer in the country,amazing when you realise that SA gets the worst quality water on the mainland of all the capital cities.

Coopers stout is a good drop too it has an extra kick if you like a dark beer but getting a bit pricey these days, will buy next for a treat.
I actualy prefer Cooper's Stout to the Guiness we get made here.if you can get bottled Guinness from Ireland though that is superb and the best stout i have ever had in a bottle or can.
My better half bought me a carton of Guiness for St Patricks day. I got my taste back for stout and have been drinking Coopers Stout since the Guiness ran out. To me the Coopers is not as rich, has iess body but still a tasty drop, and made in Aus. Otherwise its coopers pale.
They say good independent beers are Balter and Stone & Wood. Not sure if still brewed where they always have been with same methods, but have been owned by CUB and Lion respectively for 5+ years

I do like a stout. One of the best stouts I've had was a Cascade stout from the brewery. A few of us from work go to the Strand Hotel on Williams Street for $10 pints of Guiness. Great value for a pub in the city. The 4 Pines have a great Nitro Stout on tap.
Out of the bottle Coopers, Sheaf Stout, Guiness, Monteith's Black Beer are all good.
