MMM beer. I drink just about any of them. Mostly either New, VB, or Extra Dry. At the risk of being thrown out of here, I dont see what the fuss is about Crowns. Tis just beer. I think it kinda tastes like a light beer.

I bought a case of Duff Beer and drank all but 1 can only to see on ebay that a case was up to $12,000 US. And I didnt even like it much. Still have the one can.

Hey is this wierd or what. New Years Eve at work I had 3 lights in quick succession before driving home. Got pulled over and the machine read zero. Surely I should have had some reading like .01 or .02. something!


KruizinKombi - January 16th, 2003 at 06:05 PM

I dun dring the schtuff ferry offen, but I like Coopers! :D Only trouble is, it gets me rolling drunk! :D:D:D:D

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with an esky full of VB at the mon mo, kom... for the time being, but it does the job! :thumb:thumb


Pat - January 16th, 2003 at 06:28 PM

I'm a beer drinker.

Skewy, your right about those Little Creatures, that's one of my favs. My favourite would be Grand Ridge Gippsland Gold.

Amazer, I did exactly the same thing with Duff when it came out, except I drank it all.
:beer:thumb


amazer - January 16th, 2003 at 07:14 PM

ahh. well I have a little bit of a beer collection. I always keep 1 can/bottle.

One day the shelf supports broke nad it all came crashing down. Only 1 glass and 1 can of guiness broke. But it sprayed the entire room. Amazing how far 1 can of guiness can go really. took ages to clean up.


helterskelter400 - January 16th, 2003 at 08:14 PM

mostly brew coopers lager

drinking a kb now

aaar beer


helterskelter400 - January 16th, 2003 at 08:15 PM

brew corner in shed


last celtic warrior - January 16th, 2003 at 11:08 PM

I have to say I'm partial to Bud... Very partial in fact, just wish they didn't hook us so much for it over here. It's half the price of XXXX in Canada.

Then there's good ol' Guiness stout. Black gold indeed I reckon.

But then, any beer's OK if it comes free...


helbus - January 17th, 2003 at 08:40 PM

Why is Duff so expensive, the shoot tastes like puss.


penguin - January 18th, 2003 at 02:15 PM

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm,
Beeerrrrr..............:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer
(Almost any type, 'cept VB, XXXX or any other bitter.... scary for a QLD'er to admit I won't drink XXXX)


tracash242 - January 18th, 2003 at 06:31 PM

carlsberg S NOT A BAD DROP GOt stuck into it when in thai landeven had a few at the vw shop,what a laugh..:beer


SKEWtYpe3 - January 18th, 2003 at 10:30 PM

can't say i like crownies either
i heard whispers that it was just the froth scooped off the top of the VB mix. Hence all the HEAVY sh*t isnt in it and it tastes a little better. but i reckon its just as bad but twice as much !
whatever rocks your boat !
GO COOOERS SPARKLING !
GO THE PIES !!!
:bounce


slow n low - January 19th, 2003 at 08:31 AM

Hey Guys
I am partial to the odd drop of the amber ale. But I draw the limit at VB or should i say Very Bad beer after all I do have taste.
Come on guys enjoy life and try some of Tasmania's award winning beers.

Cheers Damian
(This was not a dig at those of you who are Victorian's I just don't like VB)

Transcript - Sydney Morning Herald 17/01/03:p2

Beer Drinkers Carry The Can Again

By Lillian Saleh
It's enough to make a grown man cry into his beer - the price of the amber fluid will rise nexr month yet again.
Cartons of beer are set to increase by $1 while Crown Larger drinkers will be slugged an extra $1.50 a carton.
Bottles of beer will rise on average by 10c.
The increase will see the price of a VB jump to more than $30 a carton.
Brewing companies yesterday said the increases were due to the consumer pirce index and beer excise and it was up to the individual bottle shop as to whether they passed on that increase.
News of the hike left a bitter taste in the mouth of beer drinkers yesterday. David Anderson and Brett Medlen walked into the Royal Oak Hotel in Parramatta for a lunch beer break. The builders said they were angered but not surprised by the price increase. "It always the smokers and drinkers who cop it. It's always the working class," Mr Anderson said.
Mr. Anderson who buys at least one carton of beer a week, said the price increase couldn't be justified.
"You get big executives getting paid millions a year and here they are slugging the little man a lousy dollar," the 49 year old said.
Mr. Medlin said drinkers had no choice but to pay. "It's one of lifes little pleasures and it used to be cheap but not now," he said.
Independantly owned liquor shops yesterday said they expected to feel consumer backlash. "We are struggling as it is and this increase dosen't help," one shop owner said. "Buyers are going to be angery when they find out the price has gone up."

you'd think they'd tax wine and spirits out of the working man's reach first. :puke


Jamox - January 19th, 2003 at 06:39 PM

56Astro: this is the best topic ever posted. Also, that is the funniest thing I have ever read!

Rustybug: that is the coolest picture i have ever seen! We can only dream I suppose -but with genetic engineering.....

Amazer: that DUff story is the saddest thing ever. And to think it didn't even taste that good.

Bananaman: I had a Fosters for the first time the other night; and I thought it was a fine drop of beer.

Helbus: I think your line needs modifying thus: "Save our precious water" drink beer! and you could also drive an aircooled vehicle....or..... beercooled....mmmm.

So, there are my thoughts on other people's posts. Now, my favourite beer is a certain vintage homebrew (or at least old). My Pop was a mad-keen brewer but unfortunately passed away before he could pass on his knowledge. The good news was that I found a few cases of king-browns that were missed.

Ten years old and still fantastic!

Has anyone here in melb been to the Mountain Goat Brewery open nights?
On the second friday of every month they open up the Brewery and throw a party. It's a pretty good night, I went ages ago and got to sample their new stout.:beer


SKEWtYpe3 - January 20th, 2003 at 12:43 AM

PAT: where is this mountain goat party
i like there beer, its easy to drink over a loooong nite
Slow 'n Low: I agree, VB= Very Bad or as the irish call it - "Green Death". Has too many chemicals, all big name beers do !:puke
:bounce


amazer - January 20th, 2003 at 11:30 AM

im not much into lights either but that new stuff.. sterling.. is OK.


Pat - January 20th, 2003 at 12:19 PM

It's in Richmond, but it's closer to Burnley station (trust me, you don't wanna drive there)

beers good after a hard lecture at uni. but it has to be xxxx!!!!! but for some serios drinking i can't beat bundy and coke. ports good for a quiet nite. worst beer out there VB :repuke


amazer - January 20th, 2003 at 05:40 PM

nobody likes VB here??? hmmm. What is wrong wif me. *burp*


The_Bronze. - January 20th, 2003 at 07:10 PM

I'm a bit partial to Sterling myself. I'm not much of a beer drinker but I love it if I have company or going to a BBQ. There used to ba a cartoon gracing many a wall in Queensland pubs of a camel drinking XXXX and a bucket labeled VB underneath collecting the camel excess. Never have tried it - and after reading the consensus, I guess I never will.
