The Perth Thread

[smokingjacket]

I know why Lion Nathan shut up shop over here.

What I don't get is why we can't brew beer (s**t or otherwise) at the same cost as shipping it halfway across the world.

I've wondered this too. I can't see there being a massive market for Swan Draught anywhere else in the world, you've already got the facilities. Wouldn't you just use them?

Swan seem to have updated their recipe recently too. Was good. Possibly because I was drinking at a place where the bloke took a bit of pride in his kit as opposed to backpacker run joints where the lines haven't been cleaned since the last health inspection.

I judge any pub that doesn't have Swan Draught on tap

So does Noobz0r

$5 a pint at 7th ave in Midland, delightful.

But yes, a pub here without swan is no pub at all.

Must admit im a bit homesick about Perth.

Working culture shits all over melbournes.

I used to believe i was a leftie, and then i moved to melbourne and saw what happens when the lunatics run the asylum.

I wouldnt call myself a conservative now but there is not a chance in hell i will ever refer to myself as "left" or "sociallist" again. Ever.

The "right" know how to run a business. The "left" know how to destroy them.

It was always Emu Bitter when I first started and I still enjoy a ince cold can of it every now and again.

The thing with EB, EE and Super isit needs to be ice cold to enjoy it, as soon as it gets a bit warm it gets pretty nasty.

I had a can of this in my fridge about four years after they stopped making it

I thought you only drank Emu if you were (a) extremely poor (b) a student (c) aboriginal or (d) all of the above.

One of the few attractive things about that area, and not a bad pub facility and crowd wise either.

The most Perth thing in this thread so far. Gotta love associating typically poor, low-cost, cheap-and-nasty alcohol with typically poor groups like... the poor, uni students, and... Aboriginals!

Yeah, nah.

$13.5 for a pint in the city yesterday after work. Sigh...

Lots of similar stereotyping of the Kooris by bogans in parts of Sydney.

Maybe if you smashed that pint over an Aboriginals head while holding a copy of Prosh, while complaining about the hell gay art installations in the CBD, then you'd be about as Perth as you can get. In fluro.

 

[vealesy]

You don't hit Aboriginals in the head, are you even from Perth SA?

I wish the drive home from the airport wasn't so depressing. Sucks that the first impression that visitors to Perth get are of ugly industrial areas, perpetual roadworks and brown bush.

Don't even get me started on Tonkin at the moment.

Yep, one of my favourite spots. I didn't mind the Principal when it first opened but the feeble attempts at class (Microbrewing, only Setanta on the TV, Midland history decorated all over the walls) quickly lost appeal. It's faux-class.

It's a staple of the evening meal (goon sacks for the ladies). Perhaps the locals in Silent Alarm-ville had different tastes?

"Cans." Did you replace the ones you stole from the fridge?
