Re: Trying new beers
I actually like Bavaria, and get it as a regular cheapie. I got a case of Furstenburg once and was not impressed. I have tried Maes, but can't remember it.
I used to see a beer called Memminger Pils in liquorland stores, but I think the national chain dropped it, but I liked it because you could taste the malt. And it was as cheap as they come.
A good cheapie around here (little portugal Petersham) is the Sagres and Coral line up, they are malt focused, clean and cheap as chips ($5.20 for a litre bottle).
Tonight I am going to introduce my home-brewing neighbour a Shofferhofer, he just (or is just about to) put down an AG hefe and has never tried one. I am also drinking a Birrel from the supermarket. And I also had a sip of my Belgian Wit wort that I have wild-fermented on the counter, interesting stuff.

Re: Trying new beers
Tried all 3 and unimpressed by all of them. They are all typical European mass produced lagers. Also wouldn't call them Premium either, but then again breweries can just call the beer premium and everyone will consider it so. Pure Blonde even has premium on it.

Re: Trying new beers
I am drinking a Bernard Original (Czech Beer - no mention of Pilsner which I find nice).
3.8% abv Says floor malted Moravian malt from their own facilities.
$4 well spent.
Tastes a little past its prime, which is not a surprise. I get an awesome seville marmalaide thing which is awesome. Another reason to visit the Czech Republic to get it fresh.
