Australians love a counter meal. It suits us, as a nation. The comfortable informality, whopping portions of good, honest tucker, beer gardens, the affordability and of course, the booze.Draught beer is the cornerstone of a great Australian pub,� Mal Davies says.The theatre of tap beer, the perfect pour, a creamy head, it makes me lick my lips.
