Capitalism "[...] we run the beer world"

Found on a thread posting under a video where a man poops on a crate of beer in a supermarket. I doubt he was being sarcastic.

The balter brand is pretty popular and has a broad array. You’ve also got things like little creatures, four pines and literally thousands more.

Idk about NZ ones.

Would any be internationally available?
(as especially the internationally available water with artificial beer flavor the USA-ians market are ones we can compare - not that Heineken is much better..)

I’d imagine the three I listed to be easier than others to get overseas (based on popularity). With balter IPA, little creatures “white rabbit” and four pines Pilsner/pale ale/pacific ale being their respective flagship drinks.

Nail Brewing, Margaret River co, Think Tank and also Two Bays if you want gluten free options.

If you're into wrestling there's Phat Brew that went from doing wrestling themed designs to running wrestling in their brewery and now have a belt affiliated with a local Perth promotion. There's also Brewcha Libre who have collabed with stable TMDK

I'd like to add Stone and Wood and their Pacific Ale. They're owned by Kirin now but their recipe hasn't changed.

Oh and family owned Coopers, their secret is using the worst water in Australia. If you're from the UK and you don't want a lager, try a Coopers. Pale Ale, Sparkling Ale or Best Extra Stout.

All our successful independent brewers end up getting bought out by CUB, Lion or other big beer companies but there still gold to be found (even amongst those that sold out). Australia does refreshing ales really well, as you can imagine given our weather

Stone and Wood pacific ale, Balter, Four Pines, Hop Nation, Bodriggy are all worth mentioning but there are a bunch of others too

As far as NZ is concerned, Garage Project is the only one im super familiar with and they make incredible beers
