Zierholz Premium Brewery
The recent removal of Zierholz Premium Brewery is fair, but their website states that a microbrewery will be opened in late 2014, so that may be the appropriate time to reinstate the content.--Soulparadox (talk) 07:28, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Alcohol crisis?
I removed the following addition by User:SydneyDad:

"Australia is currently in the midst of an alcohol crisis, with alcohol being responsible for more deaths then all of the illegal drugs combined."

I was concerned due to the line possessing a strong POV and being unsourced. However, others may see it differently, so if there is consensus to re-add it to the article (especially if it is sourced and deemed to be relevant) then I'm happy with that. :) - Bilby (talk) 09:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Add this assertion if there are reliable authoritative sources, or formal statistical analysis of national data. You can also add passages from the Bible if you can find similar reliable references.14.202.248.82 (talk) 07:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Misc
Textbot 07:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC) I see my links to Beer Bottle and beer belly have ben removed, but I can't work out by whom or why. Any special reasons ?

Textbot 07:21, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Geeze, I gotta say I am opposed to reducing our States to their capitals in the "Glasses Table". As far as I am aware, there are NO differences between City and Bush in each State ! This "metro-centric" tendancy is deplorable ! OTOH, the table looks better now, without the previous fussiness.

Textbot 01:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Am I alone in putting new content at the TOP of this page ( where it's easy to notice !)

Textbot 01:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC) I have to say, I find the "explanatory" additions to the Glass Table clutterring and confusing...

Textbot 01:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC) just a thought...I was in Bali some time back, where beer is readily available, but NOT refrigeration - electricity is expensive ! There are usually no fridges in the village shops, nor in people's homes, suggesting that at least some beer is drunk *warm*. ( I had to try it myself, and I have to say, warm beer is better than no beer !) it set me to thinking, that *coldness* may not be an overwhelmingly necessary characteristic of beer, even in a hot country. Considering that beer is sold in many tropical countries, that only recently have adopted refrigeration, if at all, maybe Aussie beer was *not* always "frigid" in historical times, either. //In addition to taste, I don't think there is any necessary link between refrigeration & shelf life, either, ie I don't think pubs serve beer cold as a matter of hygiene etc.//I don't find these issues adressed in my own rerading on the matter, Can anyone enlighten ?

--Airgead 03:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC) Folks. With the list of stouts and the expanding list of micros I am starting to feel that this page is starting to get a bit cluttered and unfoused. I am thinking of splitting off some of the content onto other pages and leaving this main Australian beer page as a general overview. I am thinking of a page for the micros, another for beer glass sizes in various states and maybe a couple of others. On the main page I would have and expanded history of beer and brewing in Australia, a list of the big breweries (with links to their pages), some general text about the micro/brewpub scene (with maybe some links to the bigger micros) and some general text about the wierd and whacky world of beer glass sizes. I think the split would allow us to expand the aussie beer content without making the main page unwieldy.

Any thoughts/comments before I get stuck in?

Sounds good to me. I would urge tho that we include "space" for mainstream but minority products, rather than reinforce the impression that " Aussie beer is ALL lager" such as one finds on the www etc..--Textbot 07:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly. There is a long tradition of things like stout (and who could forget coopers sparkling) so that needs to be kept. I'll do a bit about history, a section on the current mainstream offerings (with links to the major brewery pages), the state loyalties and a section on micros with a link to a separate micro page where we can list the micros (state by state?) and create pages for ther notable ones. I'll leave a brief section on glass sizes and move most of that into a separate page where we can delve into the long and interesting (to us anyway) history of aussie beer glasses. If no one objects I'll have a crack at the new main page early next week.--Airgead 02:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

--Airgead 02:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Ok Folks I have made a start on the changes. I will do it in sections. First to go up is the early history. let me know what you think.

--Airgead 02:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC) OK, second section done - a cleanup and expansion of the branmds by region section. Any comments, compliments, criticisms welcome.

-- Question by a reader: What does "full strength" mean? The terms "full strength" and "mid-strength" are used here but are never defined. Are these Australian legal categories? Do some parts of Australia restrict beer by alcohol content under some circumstances? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.239.45.4 (talk) 01:17, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

The verse beginning Cut yer name across me backbone... was proceeded by:


 * Debauched, defiled, debased, and drunk,
 * How great the depths to which we've sunk.
 * With mugs of rum in every fist
 * We've earned the name 'philanthropist.'
