Beer

This is going to be more contentious than a coffee or bread argument, so I'll just stick to the facts on how to order a beer in a pub.  A 'pot' is a 10 oz glass, good if you are watching your figure because you'll need to make lots of trips to the bar to ingest a decent amount of beer.  A 'schooner' is a 15 oz glass, getting closer to a reasonable size.  Order a pint and you'll get a 20 oz glass, that's half the trips back to the bar a pot would cost you!  Of course, this is in Queensland and will vary from state to state.

Ah, hell with it.  Beer here is generally pretty good, but it will cost you.  If you've taken a liking to some of the finer beers America has to offer, you're out of luck.  There isn't anything comparable to Rogue, New Belgium, Stone, Full Sail, or Sierra Nevada, but the microbrew trend started later here and still has a ways to go.  People will tell you American beer is crap, but that's because we export Bud and Miller.  Same as judging Australian beer by Foster's.

You can find some Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada brews at larger bottle shops and online, a six pack costing what you'd pay for a twelve in the U.S.  I have a really hard time paying $22 for a six of Boston Lager.
