Thread: The beers we drink

Has anyone tried FB Fiji Bitter also in a green fight can with the same design

I have heard of VB also being called Vietmanese Bitter by the local Vietmanese

VB, MB, etc
its all the same beer,,
carlton just paint the cans different colours,,

Hmmmmm beer, a subject close to my heart, and hand after about 5 o'clock of an evening . Problem is my main brew aint on the pole, I am very partial to a Boags Draught and a case goes through here a week. Otherwise dont mind the odd XXXX Gold. For a treat dont mind knocking back a few Kilkenny's,

Regards

Stevo

XXXX Gold - It's cheap!

If someone else is paying, pretty much whatever is available .

Have to agree here, Tasmania does the best beer from this part of the world. Boags and Cascade are far superior to some of the Aussie stuff. Nothing like an afternoon on the Cascade lights

And it's actually a Draught, not a Stout, (the stuff on tap, or in the big black cans).
The yellow label stuff is the Stout or "porter" as the old timers call it.

And firmly agree with this man too When it's time to get a bit loose, a few pints of the black stuff is definitely the drink of choice. Like my porter as well but not such a big fan of the guiness porter.........will finish you off mind you

Also a fan of the "Red Death" or McEwans Export from Scotland but again, makes you do funny things if you have too much of it

Aye, Mick

A Tartan heavy or McEwans 80 is not bad either i prefer a Guinness Stout to the Draught but either will do and i'm pretty partial to the odd Dogsbolter too from WA at 8% strength it knocks you about if you drink alot of it though.

I used to drink beer - until I moved to SA in 1969. Then I was introduced to Southwark, Coopers, and West End. I gave up drinking beer - that stuff was (and probably still is) undrinkable.

But I found out about wine!

Oh, when I was in Darwin recently, I thought I'd have an imported beer with lunch. So I ordered a Stella Artois. I looked at the bottle (after I'd started drinking it) and found it was made in by Carlton United in Melb. But the restaurant still insisted on charging imported prices for alocal beer.

Thats when you can find it on the Eastern coast. When I see it I grap a case cause it's hard to get. What is the name of the pub in Freemantle that sells it? I remember the big picture of the Prime ministers over the staircase, I remember drinking a few on a balcony of the pub, next thing I know we're in the car with a few cases.


Top drop if you haven't tried it do so
