::I live half an hour's drive from the city of Melbourne in a fairly bushy (wooded, I think the Americans would say) suburb. We have a large number of roos around our area but we are probably the closest to the city to have roos. They are almost in plague proportions in some country areas although the drought seems to be culling them in some ways. I have no idea who would think that Bud is the import of choice! I can't think of a bottle shop (Australian for Liquor Store) that sells it. If there is an import of choice at the moment I suspect it would be Guinness, Heinekin (sp?), Asahi, Stella Artois. If you go to [http://www.tastebeer.com.au/rated-beers/ this beer page] you will see that Bud comes in at number 61. VB (Victoria Bitter) is the highest selling beer in Australia at the moment but tends to be fairly predicatable, if not dull after a while. Coopers, Boags, Cascade and James Squires all are smaller breweries that are doing very very well at the moment in Australia - my favourite at the moment is James Squires. So Kangaroos and beer - all we need now is a shrimp on the barbie (whatever that means!) | ::I live half an hour's drive from the city of Melbourne in a fairly bushy (wooded, I think the Americans would say) suburb.
