As they say, "If Fosters is Australian for Beer, the Beer must be Australian for Piss."

Incidentally, Fosters is 5.1% alcohol. Bud and MGD are 5%. Miller High Life is 5.5%. For what it's worth.
BAW HAHAHAHAHA...Foster's would have to be one of the worst beers to be made in Australia
Like our car's, we keep all of our good beer to ourselves and let the rest of the world have the stuff we don't want.
I haven't seen Fosters for sale at a bottleshop of pub in years...I think it isn't availible on the east coast any more because demand for it was so low.
Melbourne Bitter is one of Australia's finest brew's

Yup Aussie makes some pretty damn good beer (Tooheys and Coopers are my favourites, can't stand VB) but they don't make anything that compares to NZ's own Steinlager.

wow i hate fosters...tis a terrible beer. As someone above said..please do not associate austrailia with Fosters....I dont live there but damn I know its not their good stuff. No one there drinks it lol.
To Jinru the beers I can get in a decent area around here...(like up and down the east coast) are..
Blue Moon - Its a light beer but DAMN is it a tasty peice of beer. Put a orange in it and you might not even notice its a beer.
Smithwicks - Little brother to Guiness..good stuff
Bass Pale Ale - Not my favorite but everyone seems to like it.
harpoon IPA - Mmmmm candy..hoppy
Stella Artois - Nice crisp beer
Seirra nevada IPA - Very good (my favorites are IPAs)
Everyone here LOVES Yuengling. Its not a great beer but for the cheapness of it..its much much better then miller and such.
Sam Adams- They have a lot of diffrent kinds including seasonals. This summer I had their summer ale and it was quite tasty!
Guiness - I dont like it..one of the few beers I dont. For some reason I cant get my mouth around stouts either.
Red Stripe - Yah Man! Its Jamacan!
There is a lot more...

Jinru, if you can get it try Steinlager, it's a wonderful beer on a hot summers day.

I was in your boat a few moths ago, and I was lucky to discover some great brews, thanks to some good friends.
KarmaPolice's list is a reasonable 'gateway' list. It's all stuff you can find pretty easily. It's a bit lacking in belgians (Except for Stella, which IMO is just a basic euro lager, nothing special about it.)
I's recoomend trying some beers in each style first, and then branching out. My recommended list would be:
IPA's/Pale Ales: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale; Smuttynose IPA
Basic Lager: Sam Adams Boston Lager, Spaten
Stouts: Maeckson's XXX Stout, Guiness
Porters: Sierra Nevada Porter, whatever else you can find at your local beer store/brewpub
American Strong Ale : Arrogant Bastard (If you want something that'll kick your ass)
Belgian Tripels/Stong Pale Ale: Duvel or La Fin Du monde, tripel Karmeliet, Kwak
Wheat Based Beer : Aventinus (might be a little weird, but it's an amalgamation of two great styles, wheat based ales, and bock.)
Belgian Trappists: Chimay Blue, Rochefort 10 (Approach when you're done with the above)
There's a ton of styles that I haven't included here. If you don't like a particular style, don't stop drinking beer because of it. There are so many different styles that you're bound to like some of them. These recommendations are beers you should be able to find nationally; for region specific recommendations, let us knopw where you're from
That's all I can come up with off the top of my head. For more info, just hitup www.beeradvocate.com
