Not that I wouldn't drink them (cuz I would). I guess it's as Prof said... which is what was in my head when I saw that. I'm still disappointed that Little Creatures is #1. There are so many more great smaller brews... I'd expect a good brew from a brewery that can make quite a bit (although that's not always true). Oh well. I guess it's good that VB is not at the top of the list....Katjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039885125813081054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737910610441242151.post-21805689825088275952010-01-28T18:15:32.753+11:002010-01-28T18:15:32.753+11:00@JPS.

I thought that I'd read "ineligible".<br /><br />Anyway, great initiative, and I'm already working out some rules to set myself for next year's list (this year, the sole one was no more than one beer per brewery). <br /><br />I have one question, though: where is last year's list? I did a search on this blog and couldn't find it. I'm a bit of a stats person, so I'd like to do a comparison!JPSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737910610441242151.post-2710798498736954042010-01-27T13:05:19.398+11:002010-01-27T13:05:19.398+11:00I think the list, and the top ten or so in particu...I think the list, and the top ten or so in particular, reflects the way that craft beer has found new markets - more widespread general acceptance. It's great to see so many 'popular/populist' brands popping up. <br /><br />I guess we have to remember that, for every one of 'us' who has more experience of craft beers, there are hundreds of 'them' who are just starting out on the journey and are standing where we were a few years back.<br />All good for the 'industry'!<br /><br />Cheers<br />Prof. PilsnerBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737910610441242151.post-12619420977258200432010-01-27T10:52:26.391+11:002010-01-27T10:52:26.391+11:00Hey Katja,

With the exception of one or two, I think they're all great beers..<br /><br />I expected the most widely distributed beers to feature prominently at the top of the poll as it is open to craft beer lovers around Australia (not just drinkers at the Taphouses).. <br /><br />The interesting thing to me is the heavy prevalence of hoppy beers (APAs, IPAs etc) at the top of the table..Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254537564455388297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737910610441242151.post-20805439334665863192010-01-27T10:48:34.679+11:002010-01-27T10:48:34.679+11:00Just to clarify what JPS is saying, "the beer...Just to clarify what JPS is saying, "the beer must have been brewed in 2009 in Australia by anyone other than Fosters or Tooheys main operations (so Matilda Bay and James Squire are eligible)."Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254537564455388297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737910610441242151.post-9142750362426765212010-01-27T08:26:12.499+11:002010-01-27T08:26:12.499+11:00I'm actually qutie disappointed with most of t...I'm actually qutie disappointed with most of the top 10.Katjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039885125813081054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737910610441242151.post-36273418824707189442010-01-26T14:45:58.380+11:002010-01-26T14:45:58.380+11:00Apologies - I've just been told that James Squ...Apologies - I've just been told that James Squire and Matilda Bay are eligible.

I thought they were ineligible because the label is owned by Lion Nathan and therefore not a craft beer. (Not that I would have voted for them anyway, but the instructions were pretty clear.)JPSnoreply@blogger.com
