Stella, Heineken, Corona - all better when imported.
I know someone who owns a bar in Bondi. He gets it all from a company which imports it. The funny thing is, he lands it for $19 a case - whereas he can not get it anywhere near that even if buying direct from the breweries in Australia for the "branded" megaswill. Quite often the cheapest he can get it is around $25-30, and often that is from a bottle shop on special. So, there is much to say for importing the beer from a taste perspective for the customer, and a cost/profit perspective from a bar owner.
