Do you know anything about beer?

Most of us have very little to say about a beer’s taste. It’s either good or not, maybe bitter or sweet, but this tends to be the extent of our commentary.

Unlike wine tasting, which most of us have experienced, beer tasting is not typically seen as a skill requiring expert knowledge. You just drink it. After all, it’s just beer, right? (If you really think that you should try our beer quiz!)

The truth is that after learning a little about how to taste beer, you’ll never drink beer in the same way again. We, the testers and tasters behind tastebeer.com.au, can’t believe how much we’ve learned about beer - and what we’ve been missing out on all these years!

A good beer tastes so much better when you know what to look for and what to appreciate. Best of all, beer tasting is super simple and fun to learn.

Our beer tasting guides show you how to learn more about beer, how to distinguish between good, mediocre and outright bad tasting beers, and how to have heaps of fun in the process! You may even end up finding a new favourite beer - make sure you visit the Tastebeer forum and share your thoughts on which beers you like and which beers are just plain awful.

Take a look at our alphabetical beer list to see how your favourite beer fared with our panel of beer tasters. You’ll find a review that describes our tasters’ opinion on appearance, smell and taste of each beer. You’ll also find interesting information such as the country of origin and the alcohol content of each beer.
