Abstract

It is hard to tell if Australians are really as devoted to their beer as national mythmakers (including beer advertisers) would have us believe, because Australian beer drinkers have seldom been given much choice of product. For decades, if you lived in Victoria, you had to drink Carlton and United's products - there was simply nothing else available in Victorian pubs. New South Wales drinkers had the very slight advantage of having Tooth's and Toohey's to choose from.
