Beer Poll

[The Fireman]

Soz peoples this is not footy but I noticed thread with a SA VIC slanging match and the old argument about the beer raised its ugly head, lets nip it in the bud once and for all and vote on which state has the worst beer.

 

[Bomber Spirit]

Whoever voted for South Australia was obviously thinking of West End rather than Coopers - Coopers is a good drop, but I like the Tasmanian Cascade.

 

[The Fireman]

why do I get the feeling some people arn't voting with their taste buds?
Some votes saying Vic has the worst when it is sold all around the world, the yanks cant get enough vic bitter.

Are you saying all Victorian beers are good?
Apples and apples.

Agree with Bomber Spirit - SA has Australia's worst and best beer (although WA's Little Creatures Pale Ale is a rival to Coopers for the best).

Mmmm... Little Creatures....

Some one who knows their beer!

 

[PrideofSA]

Coopers is good, West end isn't.....however Tasmania has the best beer, Boags is awesome, rivals Becks, Stellars and Coronas. Carlton Cold isn't too bad.

Haven't tried anything from Queensland or WA or NSW or NT (do they have beer, I thought petrol was the goer mainly because I have hardly seen it here.

Becks and Corona are German and Mexican Fosters respectively (i.e. cheap beer thats imported so we pay a fortune for it). Go into a decent bottle-o and ask for decent German beers like Weihenstephaner or Schofferhoffer (yes I do like my beers).

What does this thread have to do with footy?

I think it belongs on general talk.

If I asked for that, he'd think that I was blind already.

XXXX from Queensland is the worst beer of all time

Boags rules. My first priority when I moved up here was to get a source of the good stuff. Shopfast deliver it to my doorstep now *woohoo*

NSW beers a bit ordinary. Don't like the Tooheys products much at all. XXXX isn't too flash either.

 

[Lockyer24]

Cascade hands down for me at the moment.

Oh, worst beer? Tooheys New by the length of the straight.

Swan Gold and Sterling are the worst.

The Yanks can't get enough of Bud either but that doesn't make it a good beer.

SA - Coopers beers are magnificent. West End and all its cousins are awful.

VIC - CUB stuff is all solid stuff without being great...Melb Bitter the pick of them. Victoria's microbreweries do some fantastic stuff, Grand Ridge and Mountain Goat.

NSW - Tooheys Old...yum; Tooheys New...ordinary.

Qld - XXXX..okay but nothing special. Sanctuary Cove stuff is excellent.

WA - Swan beers all average...Matilda Bay beers outstanding, esp, Redback. Little Creatures very nice as well.

Tas - Boags is a standout. Cascade products above average.

NT - Haven't tried one.

 

[raskolnikov]

I voted for Queensland mostly because I can't stand xxxx. I think they called it that because you need to use an expletive after you taste it.

 

[Grumpy Bum]

Boags strongarm bitter is nectar from the gods. The Boags premium I feel is a little too bland, not the flavour of strongarm. Coopers aint too bad either. VB is swill. My rottweiler doesn't mind west end though.

Never once seen Vic Bitter on sale in the US. You can get Fosters pretty much anywhere though (including supermarkets).

 

[The Fireman]

capt koutta you know your beers, well done,
Port01 Fosters in america is brewed in canada, and awful,
Vic bitter is hard to get over there but when thay can they jump at it. Sh$its on bud.
I know friends who take slabs when they visit.

Anything is better than Bud, you still haven't shown VB to be any good, your mates taking slabs excepted. Fosters is crap and drunk all over the US, doesn't mean it is any good.

VB is a below average beer, a rung above West End, which is like most standard yank beers.

Put VB next to any decent beer, and it barely deserves the title 'beer'.

 

[The Fireman]

I think youll find port that Vic Bitter is the biggest selling CUB beer,
Check my post on fosters i said it was crap

 

[RoosterWedgie]

I cant belive it, equal votes to SA and Vic when I logged on.

How anyone could rate CUB of any sort above Coopers is beyond me.
Well it isnt, you obviously have no idea about beer and are just a **** swilling ********.

 

[RoosterWedgie]

silly question, but why is in the AFL forum and not the General Forum?
I would have brought this up earlier but I get blinded with the word "beer".

 

[The Fireman]

check the first post rooster.
