Wow.
They're the non-bitter styles, nothing inconsistent there. I don't like the beers he likes but do enjoy the VBs and Melbourne Bitters from time to time.

Great Northern is just as bad as West End or VB

Potentially, though the Kings Head have just reopened. Went out of business during Covid last year. Since they reopened and renovated the place I believe the bottle shop there no longer exists. Had been made in to a cafe.
Sorry, I was a little confused when you said The Ed, I got you now, you're talking about the one in Mitcham.
The one on Currie Street has been shut for some time and had not reopened to the best of my knowledge.

Teds are worse, it's the cheap beer teenagers drink.
Nah I can't even do that, they're beers for the biggest of bogans or underage drinkers.Ah, Extra Drys and Northerns are fine on a hot afternoon. You can smash fifteen of them and not feel it - there's a place for that sometimes.

Yes, all are terrible beers that taste like chemicals rather than beer.You don't like VB or West End but you drink those other 3......

Had to turn away from all Coopers beers after reading all(?) their beers are bottle/can conditioned so have yeast which isn't good for anyone prone to gout.Pale and Sparkling are pretty much always my go to beers .. drank Pale for years though now I find Sparkling my preference

Did a taste test last Christmas for can beers that are reasonably priced (under $70 a carton) for an away trip and settled on the following very tasty beers:
Vale IPA - heavier for quick get drunk
Atomic PA - more sessionable beer
Big Drop Pine Trail PA - for when you have to drive or sober up (0.5% alc/vol)
Nah I can't even do that, they're beers for the biggest of bogans or underage drinkers.
I did try the Tropic Ale and thought it was good but the Atomic PA beat it for the sessionable option.Speaking of Vale, I grabbed a couple of their Tropic Ale from the Dan Murphy's mix n match section back around xmas to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised - a really nice, light, refreshing sort of beer. Great for the hot weather - have bought some more since, although I'll shift to something heavier once the cold weather returns.
Cans are handy when you're away from home though. Had to crush about 300 beer/soft drink cans and all fitted into a bout 3 beer cartons - same number of bottles would have been a nightmare to deal with.Although when did Vale start making everything in cans? Had been a while since I bought any of their stuff, and last time I did it was in bottles which I prefer. ...
I've heard Gout is incredibly painful. Check out this artists depiction of gout from 1799. Looks like Venom from Spiderman eating some poor bastard's foot.Had to turn away from all Coopers beers after reading all(?) their beers are bottle/can conditioned so have yeast which isn't good for anyone prone to gout.
I do like the South PacificI had my first Northern on Saturday.
It does an ok job when its >35 degrees and any decent beer will do an absolute number to you. There are certainly better options though, I.e. Pirate Lifes South Pacific ale, Sweet Amber's Session Ale etc.

I had it once, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. It never happened again after that so I'm hoping it was just a one off, maybe a reaction to something I ate, I don't know. Whatever the cause, it was excruciating. I was laying on the bed and couldn't even have a sheet draped over my foot because just the weight of that was causing me agony.

This is probably true technically but (outside of genetic causes), gout is due to eating foods rich in purines (yeast, anchovies, ...) regularly over a long period of time and/or having a bad habit of not drinking enough water.I had it once, maybe 5 or 6 years ago.

I can't stand goats cheese - too gamey for meYeah, but that's the weird thing - I don't really have any of those lifestyle indicators that would suggest a likelihood of gout. I read that it can be brought about by basically an allergic reaction to something. I had eaten goat's cheese (which I don't usually eat) at a birthday party a couple of days earlier, so I do wonder if it might have been that. I guess the simple test would be to eat it again and see if the gout flares up again, but it's just not worth the risk . I just resolved to never eat goat cheese again for the rest of my life, just in case
