It depends on what TYPE of beer.
Heaven forbid that I would even think of possibly cogitating that Jay would
drink the 'wrong' sort of beer, but the world could do with less fosters

Toohey's Old, actually. Really nice in winter. I had a bit of a half-arsed look
for Coopers Dark Ale first but couldn't find it.

Phew!! I was worried that some serious damage had occurred, but
you said the beer was okay, which is a relief. I hope it wasn't
shaken up too much? You've got to hate those drops that spill out
that you can never get to drink, the feeling of loss can often
be unendurable.

Shame on both of you for supporting that reprehensible Nike of
the Australian beer industry!! That awful company purchased
several of my favourite pubs, and placed their rancid swill on
tap mandatorially. Toohey's Old is their most drinkable product,
agreed, but come on!! Real men drink Kilkenny anyway *sniff* :)

Indeed. Except Stone's Ginger Wine should only be consumed by
underage teenagers.

I like sparkling burgundy in the winter. I'm not a huge red drinker, it
knocks me over big time, but I can handle a glass or so of the sparkling.

True. I don't think anyone drinks that except for tourists anyway.

Yeah - I think CUB are worse than Lion Nathan in terms of pub purchases,
though: every second pub in Sydney has either a Vic or Melbourne sign out the
front. What ever happened to the 'Rock' near Wagga?
Toohey's Old is Toohey's _only_ drinkable product. And _what_ a product. But I
agree, Kilkenny is a top drop. Nicer on tap than out of a can, though.

OK - you twisted my arm. Fosters makes a nice shandy on a 40 degree day in the

I quite like it. Foster's Special Bitter they had a few years ago was a nice
drop, and I tend to quite like more malt-y lagers. They'r not imitation

Winter Warmer - now theres a story. Got Tony's pussbagwhorefromhell mother
drunk on it in an attempt to get her to pass out & stop bothering us. She
came down to the pub one christmas (when we were still in UK) so we gave her
a glass. She said it tastes like coke! (Well she is looney after all)
"Now this isn't alkyholik is it Antony" (He hates being called that) "Cause
you know I can't drink alkyhol"
"No Mum, it's just like coke - honest. Drink it up & stop whinging"
"Are you sure, Antony?"
"Yes, Mum, I'm sure. Now just drink it all up"
Instead of passing out, she made passes at all the guys in the pub,
including the ones there with their wives & families.
Are you sure there is a law against bludgeoning some-one to death in the
name of humanity?
This thread tho, reminds me that I've got a bottle of mulling wine in the
wine rack that I bought last year. Perhaps I should get a few more bottles &
have a mulled wine party?

Got it here, too. And by all the merry gods, do I love having
it. It fucking rocks and brings meaning to my life I never

enjoy what I watch more now, due to the added choice. You
can go from an episode of the Goodies to Trek to a documentary
about Iberian walrus herders to Fight Club to crappy standup
comedy from the late 80's in the flicker of an instant. Though
I've only had it for 3 weeks, who knows how quickly I'll tire
of it. And the cartoons! And the bad Australian made-for-cable
programs! And the most hilarious thing...
Try this for an experiment: On a Saturday night, with about five
drunk / stoned people in your lounge room, change the channel
to one of those numbers that no-one in their right minds would

channel which allegedly plays naughty films after 11. Of course
there's no picture, since it's blocked, but see how long it takes
before people are rolling around on the floor in apoplexia at
the cheesy dialogue and paid groans and moans of pornland
extravaganzas. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about
it. People get bored of it after five minutes, but still, it's
funny. Well I thought it was funny, don't look at me that way,

And my dad. He's the only adult I know that drinks it by
preference and in profusion. And he wonders why I always decline
it upon my visits. Apart from the fact that it's usually midday
on a Sunday when he asks me if I want some :)

Yes, but the difference is that CUB make a consistently decent
drinkable beer. You can all keep your Hoegarden's, Witbeers and
Belgian waffle beers. For my (cheap, small amounts of) money,
I like just being able to consistently expect a decent beer on
tap when I go to any establishment, be it a pub or a bar. Buying
bottles of beer in a bar is de rigeur, I guess, but it should be
a criminal offence in a decent pub, which certain ones are
forcing you to do due to the shiteness of the beer on tap. But
Carlton Draught on tap is as reliable as the sun coming come,
Australian sitcoms being crap and never getting as much money
back on your tax returns as you thought.
>What ever happened to the 'Rock' near Wagga?
I don't know, and I'm sorry for your loss.

Definitely, absolutely definitely, but I sometimes like wasting
my money on a can or two for home use only. On tap it can't be
beat, but you can only usually get it in pseudo franchise Irish
pubs, for which you have to suffer the ultimate indignity of
listening to that same tape of folk music every fucking day at
the same time.
Sandro - there is only one Irish song, and three hundred
variations on the theme.

MMmmmmm... Toohey's Old. Black Ale - ya gotta love it. Ya just gotta.
I think it's better than the Coopers Dark Ale, actually. But then, even
though I fully appreciate Coopers' beers and think they're a damn fine
brewing company, I've never subscribed to the all-fawning "Coopers Is
The Only Drinkable Beer" theory that so many people seem to have...
*shrug* I've had better. :)
And the Toohey's Old bottle caps make such cool badges. :) I wear my
black'n'red OLD badge on my leather jacket with extreme pride.

Actually, in all fairness, I have to admit that Fosters do good light
beers. The best drinkable light beers, in fact.
But then... 's no great suprise that they should be good at making
pissweak beer. They've had plenty of practice, afterall.
So, how long do we all hafta wait 'til we can get us some mulled wine?
