XXXX Bitter...upmarket.....bullshit

although you were drinking Tui, anything is a step up from that fucking mudwater

 

[Winmar]

Hehe I was speaking with my tongue in my cheek.

I've had worse than Tui - namely VB.

We have a local Dan Murphy's being built at the moment, set to open within the next couple of weeks, so I will have to go take a looky.

Is that the Bendigo one?


My local Dan Murphy's is rumoured to be closing down soon as it isn't profitable enough. Damn Woolworths - now I'm going to have to goto Rouse Hill for cheap grog.

haha xxxx bitter upmarket? I dunno man, its just a plain local heavy beer. That said its way better than VB

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Is that the Bendigo one?

Thats the one.

I have been to the Ballarat one a few times. It will be good to have one local.

I had a XXXX once. I almost didn't finish it, and I was really thirsty. That said, I don't drink VB out of a bottle though (on tap it's OK). Nup, imported German beer is the way to go. Or Cascade or Coopers if I'm feeling a bit skint.

 

[Icarus]

Nothing wrong with a bit of XXXX I agree though, coopers is da shit.

 

[Southy]

XXXX is the best LOCAL beer anywhere in Australia dammit

VB is one of the worst drops ever

 

[Winmar]

You're right there, VB is atrocious. I'll drink it if it's free, but won't buy it.

The only beer XXXX is more upmarket than is the aforementioned shite in a green can from Melbourne!

Cooper's is great, but James Squire's is the best drop in the country.

Vitamin B was a staple food for many years, 'till I discovered Carlton Draught, and finally Coopers' Sparkling ale.

Guiness (stout) is a great desert beer (i don't have desert, but will sip a Guiness while people "enjoy" their sugar rush mud cakes.

 

[Winmar]

Kyuss used to play in the desert!

Cooper's is only 40,000 times better than Carlton Draught.

The water in my dunny is better than VB!

Yow what beer sucks. Crownies. I cant believe why so many people like/drink it. It's overpriced, overrated shite imo.

 

[Winmar]

Yeah, I'd go with that!

Crown Lager is just VB with a gold label slapped on it. It's even made in the same vats.

That's a lie! It's made in lots of different vats, then blended together. It's more than just VB. But it's still just dregs in a gold bottle.

 

[Shannow]

It's not VB.

I like VB, and crown tastes like watered down dishwater.

 

[Winmar]

I just tried Gosser, an Austrian beer. Very nice indeed on a hot day like today.

The only worse beer I can remember having than VB was a watered-down Welsh Bitter that I had after an Everton match in Liverpool. That was crap.

 

[Icarus]

I reckon australia should bring in what england has where you can drink anywhere you want. Imagine jumping on a train or bus going out somewhere and downing a few stubbies before..then walking there having more beer.

That would kick alot of arse.

 

[Winmar]

Yeah it'd be sensational. I also reckon beer should be sold on supermarket shelves like it is in England. Or in 7-11 like it is in Asia.
