Well, not so much to me any more. Those are the very commercial
brews made mainly with sugar (cheap and plentiful is sugar over
here). There are better ones made with more malt grain. In fact,
best of all are the ones made without sugar and that usually
means German or European or home brew.
Huge cans? Here, the main supply of "tinnies" is in a 375g form.
In bottles these are known as stubbies. A long-neck is a 750g
bottle. There may be tins of this latter quantities too but
Australians don't much drink those. It is a sign of trouble when
a fellow opens a long neck and lifts it to his mouth. Ladies, of
course, would never dream of it.
