Australian for Beer

The Sydney thread has brought back fond memories of drinking local beers during my trip there many years ago. Does anyone know if Toohey's New or Old is available in the USA?

I would have to say, with 88% certainty, "No, it's not." I don't consider myself widely traveled within the US, but I do consider myself perceptive as to beer market penetration and availabilty, and I frequent bars and stores where they have various obscure beers, and I've never seen it.

This page provides supporting evidence for my assertion.

You might go onto RateBeer and try to contact the (very few) reviewers who are not from Australia, and ask where they obtained their "review copies."
