#REDIRECT [[:Category:Australian Beer]]
 
 
Most Australian beers are considered "non-premium". Notable exceptions are [[crown_lager|Crown Lager]] and [[Hahn]]
 
 
 
The main Victorian beers are the [[Fosters]] line and the [[Tooheys]] line. Most pubs will be licensed to sell either one of these lines of beer on tap - the main exception being [[Heineken]].
 
 
 
Tasmanian beers are arguably the best beers brewed in Australia - mainly due to the superior water quality in the island state. Notably, [[Hahn]] and [[Cascade]]. Some will argue South Australian beer is a close second, but that is my no means the general consensus. [[Coopers]] is well worth drinking though.
