High end: Stone & Wood Pacific Ale. It has a hint of pear in the nose which makes it smashable. Not that I’d know. It’s twice the price for a case as the sort of beer I drink, so I’ve never smashed it, really. Just the odd schooner here and there.

Low end: depends where I am. Back home it would be Speights. Around here, Coopers Green, I guess. It’s not really low end; but most non-craft beers are similarly priced. I’d get Carlton Draft for old times sake, but I don’t really see it around here. Reschs in Sydney, XXXX in Queensland.

This may be laughable to some but, by Australian standards, my ‘high end’ choice is corona, going on price alone. Low end would be xxxx as with casual binger.

It appears I've become hooked on Pacifico, Mexican lager beer. It's everything you want in a lager: drinkability and refreshing quaff for many refills and not filling yet rich in lager beer flavor with a hoppy accent so it's not too sweet.

Yeah. That's my low end go too. Or the Banquet beer, Coors Original. If I can find it East of the Mississippi Olympia. The Hamm's of the West.

High end would be any and all, well most, crafties. I can't get enough of finding the good stuff. Dog Fish Head World Wide Stout may be the most barley heavy roasty toasty goodness ever created. Founders is doing outfucking standing things with beer. Right near me central PA is quietly becoming an East Coast beer destination. Bacchus has blessed me to be right in the middle of it. South County's doing Bacchus's work celebrating the harvest of barley and hops. Collusion Tapworks is doing som funky fine shit. Pizza Boy is off the fuking chart with 1023 taps more than half of which are their own beers.

So disappointed. No Coopers Stout? I love that shit if I can ever find it. Nice licorice crack and easily swillable.

I was thinking tap beer. With takeaways there’s a lot more choice. Generally Aust beers are not the cheapest and Coopers is semi-craft. However on tap Coopers Green is widely available and only fractionally more expensive than swill like VB and Tooheys. At the bottleshop, the very cheapest is Oettinger and Hollandia. It’s pretty grim. Above that, whatever is on special is my go to. Carlsberg, Sol, Becks and Kronenbourg are often good value.

Actually, you know what? Some Liquorland branches sell Hite as a cleanskin here. It’s hard to find, but dynamite value.

That’s my go to low end here.

How about a favorite medium-end beer since I can't decide between high and low? Shiner Bock Hefeweizen -- not overly smooth like Paulaner's, as the flavors are more distinct and robust. So good.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

Went to a dive pub in Long Beach, Cali established 1924. The storefront, doors and windows were unchanged. Inside the bar was the same and so were the stools. They served up 20oz. frozen schooners full of draft beer. I chose Carlsberg lager. What a treat!

No kidding? Is that that ‘premium green beer’ or whatever it’s called?

Yes.. Just yes.

Is it cheap beer. Then yes
middle of the road..yes
high end also yes.

Best ever is FREE, my favorite flavor

Genny light or Hamms for low end

Crafty beeers made by crafty Hobbittses for the high end. Lager and Stout types. Low IBU ales. the ones that don't taste like licking a pinecone

Another to add to the low end: Rolling Rock. Wish it was available here. 100% no frills but done to perfection.
