VB? I guess you could use it for cleaning the panels.

Could be something to do with the date, and the origin of the article. VB is not a bad drop , if you have a beer strike on.

Possibly the date, but it makes sense. In my opinion you couldn't give the stuff away.

Not my favourite beer, I've had Kimberley cool beers that taste better, I must admit.

VB has an interesting history and I would have loved to have tasted it when The Buffalo Brewery originally made it.

that is a poor review , I'll try and find another.

They'll be on a good thing. Doesn't it cost only around $2.00 a case to make?

When lived in London many years ago the local pub had VB on tap. When had visitors used to take them to the pub and suggest a VB. Met with all the comments above and done more. Always insisted they had at least one as it was the only Australian beer on tap in that pub. Thing was it was brewed in the U.K. and did not taste like the stuff they sell in Australia. Was actually drinkable

Most of that is for the packaging.
