Thread: Aussie Beer is Piss

i remember always drinking Fosters at sea - we were limited to 4 beers a day and the Fosters cans were slightly larger.

All this reminds me of a story from the past when beer was delivered with horse and carriage.
The driver from Tuborg met his collegue from Carslberg during a delivery round and found the bloke drinking a Tuborg beer.
How come you drink Tuborg when you are working for Carslberg , he said.
My employer does'nt allow me to drink beer when working , the collegue replied..

Some Americans think Foster is the good Australian beer.

When I tell an Aussie this they laugh.

Is Fosters an australian beer anymore?
I do not think so.
for sometime S&N a British brewer was brewing the stuffunder licence in the Uk. A few months ago they bought the brand and wotnot for all parts outside of Australia.
S&N now sell 4 out of every 5 pints of the stuff.
So it is another sound british brew

Fuckin' brits think they invented beer, alcoholism maybe; but decent beer?
They drink budweiser and think they've tasted 'merikan beer wtf, it's close enough to the stuff the export. Fuck if I'm goin to land where it rains 363 days year and women are all bigger'n me just to taste some flat, half-assed ales.

Thank fuck we brought german folks over to make our beer. And missles

Beer's best made in small batches. Let's face it anything we see imported here is going to be second rate.

There are few beers made up here that are OK; still lack the robust flavor the name "beer" evokes thoughts of.
Next trip up I'll cook you and GoW a meal and treat you some half-way decent local brews. Gotta buy it in jugs, bring it home and drink it. Still don't hold a candle to some of the northwest brews though. actually slipped my mind this trip

The Brits know fekk all about Lager, but their lukewarm, flat version of "beer" does have a lot of variety and quality to it. A bit of an acquired taste for continentals, though.

Everyone knows Aussie beer is piss, why start a thread on it?

In yankland some quality local brew can be had, if you're determined and know where to search, or so I heard. Otherwise, they manage to turn even the most reknown quality products into pee-colored bubbly.

Agreed British lager is pretty poor, but much of this is down to the water (and yes, it really does make a difference). That said, the best lager I ever had was English. From a hand pump, nice and creamy - lovely!

English bitter can be wonderful stuff or crap (just look at John Smiths). and the varieties are almost limitless. God I miss it so much!!

American beer (not the Bud shite) has a good reputation, but the stuff the Germans made in America isn't really made there anymore as the prohibition wiped it all out. The micro brewery beer is really more American beer than German nowadays and the US drinkers are lucky to have a choice of fine beers, even if they're not to my tates.

I sometimes drink the German beers here, but I am always really disappointed. I know there is really good German beer back there, but I've yet to find one that I really enjoy in Thailand.

Never had a John smiths but I had a couple of ales "Sam Smiths?" imported form engerland. thought it was pretty decent. every beer I have had that was made here just seemed watery except the bubbly paint removers like Chaang, Shing. Heinies are certainly watered down piss

real ale yuk it smells like cheesy feet, my bf drinks gallons of the stuff,John smiths,boddingtons,IPA,old speckled hen,
He always says here try this like a mug i always do yuk yuk yukl>
Although the biker club i am in (Not patched had enough of that) have a yearly trip to Buffys brewery Norwich.
£10.00 a head bbq included and all the ale you can drink,taped from the barrel, pollys folly a light ale, can't remember the others,but must admit i drank gallons Hay ten quid a head good piss up and free camping

Too right!! Haven't had any Boags since "Oddbins" stopped importing it into the UK about 8 years ago. Bastards! I used to buy 4 slabs at a time when they had some in.

Wow! I've never heard anyone mention Boag's before, and now two people have!

The best beer you've had is Aussie Lager in a can! Un-fuckin-believable!

Chav culture sinks to new depths!

Where I live now we have heaps of boutique brewries opening up. I don't have to buy 'packaged' beer anymore.
I don't mind a Red Back though...Tooheys are also bringing out a new Pils...

I thought so...

Of course, if some nice Aussie chap wants to sent me a can or two, I will give it a few minutes of my time and write an informed review...

Mmmm - looks like i will be over there in 6 weeks, might see how much room I have in me bag.

I know..I'm one slack bastard...
so sue me.

I forgot to put a couple of large Changs in the fridge last night, so had to have one of the g/f's Heineken cans. What a load of gnat's piss!

Heineken is really just over-priced budweiser IMO. Just there to show people "see I can afford higher priced beer but I have absolutely no fucking taste in beers"
Although when you want to stay a bit more sober of an evening it has the intoxicating affect of water. Drink the shit all night and never get a buzz. it comes in handy on them days when you'd like to recover from a bit too much of the real stuff.

The more I drink the more FF makes sense! (nah just kidding)

I find heineken to be one of the least offensive beers in thailand but it really is a long way from the real thing and IMO that ain't that flash!

But FF is spot on with the people who drink it .....*quickly thinks which TDers I've fucked off ths time..MtD.Tiger,Torbers..Tiger..DD..what ever your buying...hmm..looks like I'm safe!*
