Answers:
It's available in Australia too - however it tastes like billy-goat p*ss ... Get into some good Aussie brews like Melbourne Bitter, Carlton Draught or Tooheys Dry ...
never heard of that one, want to send me some? e mail
Didn't know the French had beer.
Though I don't drink beer much anyway.
Kronenbourg is pretty good, but it's not that easy to find most of the time. Except for champagne and cheese, many Americans are often wary about things from France. We probably would not have won our independence from England were it not for the help of France, but that's the way it is. Many Americans think the French don't like America.
Its not easy to find in American bars. We had it on tap at my bar for awhile but no one had ever heard of it unless they'd traveled abroad and it didn't sell well so we pulled it. (I think it was the 1666 anyway. That's the light one right?) Pale Ales, lagers and darker beers are more popular where I work and Kronenbourg just couldn't compete with budlight as a lightbeer. If reduced to drinking a light beer, people went for the cheaper one. Personally I thought it was just so so, (no offense) but that's probably because I'm used to drinking Coors and Keystone if I have to drink light beer at all :)
I have had a few french beers that I though were delicious, kronenbourg was definitely not one of them
