5. The Bottle-O Victoria Tavern 
So, we’ve established some quality Australian beers and an Irish favourite, complete your guests beer culture repertoire by saying konichiwa to a flavoursome Japanese brew – Asahi. This drop is by far Japan’s most successful beer. Its clean, crisp taste is great for cleansing the palate before ploughing into the pavlova. You won’t miss these ones at The Bottle-O in Rockhampton because they are packaged in their distinctive silver-labelled glass bottles.
Another Japanese favourite beer to try when you visit The Bottle-O in Victoria Tavern is, Sapporo. If you have beer loving friends this brew will warm the cockles of their heart at your next BBQ. Sapporo is Japan’s oldest brew and it is incredibly versatile so you can pair it with an antipasto plate or a juicy steak.
