A few breweries in Australia!


Last year I went home for Christmas (to Australia), and while I was there I popped into an organic supermarket. There were a few good beers and as Australians are also wine drinkers, ciders tend to be popular as well (see the above photo). Here are a few breweries making organic beers I researched as I passed through Adelaide in South Australia:

And then there was the Australian beers, which (in terms of naming) seem to have a bit of a sense of humor about them. The following "My Wife's Bitter," for example.






By no means an extensive list, but here are a few breweries I've seen and tried in Australia with satisfying results.
