The Local Taphouse's "Favourite Aussie Craft Beers of 2011"

The Local Taphouses we have decided to create a list of our 20 Favourite Aussie Craft Beers of 2011. As opposed to our previous years' Hottest 100 People’s Choice list where more than a thousand beer lovers around Australia voted, our new list will be compiled solely based on votes from all staff across both Taphouses and The Local BottleStore and Provisions.

Much discussion goes on throughout the year as to the merits of each beer. Some beers spark interest because they are brand new or cutting edge, others are trusty favourites, offering the comfort of an old pair of jeans. Each is enjoyed with a critical eye that comes from being surrounded by excellent beers, all day, every day. Our staff are the kids in the candy store of beers, and this list will be their bag of favourite mixed lollies.

Each staff member has the list of 216 Aussie beers tapped last year and they are currently rating their 5 favourite beers.

We hope The Local Taphouse's "Favourite Aussie Craft Beers" list becomes an annual tradition and we will announce the top twenty on Australia Day.
