@Ratchet – Thanks for the comment! I think if I were to do the review today, the rating might be a little lower considering all the beers I’ve tried since then. I think part of the excitement for me was that someone shipped it from Australia to me here in the States. Got to give a little extra for that!

I’ve never heard anyone talk about Boag’s except for Tasmanian’s. I just tried it in response to a (Tasmanian) friend boasting about it. Frankly, I’m incredibly underwhelmed. 2.5 stars is a bit generous. The beer isn’t unpleasant, but it is close to it.

It’s a beer for people who don’t like beer, or who are already drunk.

Jimmy – thanks for the comment! We don’t get too many top-shelf Australian beers here in the States it seems, so its great when some are mentioned.

James Boag is considered a Premium Beer here in Australia but I’m not really a fan of it.
Its not hugely popular and is more of a Boutique Beer. I’d rate it 7/10. Good but far from Great.

Best Aussie beer i’ve tasted recently was Tim Knappstein Executive Ale…..wow….its sensational but very pricy.

Also the New Zealand beers from Monteith Brewery are varied and top drawer brews.

Cheers

The best thing about Boags is its purity. After all, the main ingredient in beer being water, you can’t get any more pristine than a beer from the Apple Isle, otherwise known as Tasmania! There are a few Aussie pubs in manhattan that carry the stuff. It’s worth a go for anyone who is a big fan of lagers. Me personally? The best Aussie beer going is out of Little Creatures Brewery. All their varieties are tops but my absolute fave is Rogers and I am trying my damnest to get these NYC pubs to start stocking them!
