More often than not I reach for a Carlton Draught. Bogan, perhaps, but not as bogan as VB

Have had a few Boags cross my path of late, and these aren't bad either. I quite like Coopers .. the one in the red label ... but my wife doesn't like these so I don't buy them very often. Unless I don't want her to drink my beer

Also have had the misfortune of someone leaving a bunch of Pure Blondes at my place. Having then tried one, I realised why they were left behind. How crap are they?!?

 

[bubblegoose]

You've raised a very serious issue in today's current environment Judge: "The left over beer". No one leaves a good beer behind - unless you're trying to impress someone.

Here's a list of stray beers in my beer fridge (most left by people who generally dont feel like they need to impress me anymore):

• VB
• Melbourne bitter
• Carlton draught
• Carlton Cold (? the blue one)
• Blondes (one naked from NT)
• Coopers Pale Ale
• Homebrew stout
• Boags (mine)
• Millers (that lime stuff)
• Barefoot (that lime stuff)
• Cascade light

Surely it's rude to take your leftover beers away with you
I figure I arrive with X number of beers, and leave with 0

Unless I specifically go to one of may mate's house who doesn't drink beer, so always insists I take my leftovers

True Judge. But with most of my mates we're light years past consideration of correct behaviour I venture to say, I could probably accuse a couple of turning up with the cheaper beer & then getting in on some of my better quality stuff! Paybacks are double though *evil laugh*

Lol, yeah fair point I guess.

Theres still a lot of beers I dont like the taste of, but I can actually enjoy a Heineken and Pure Blonde, rather then just drinking beer cos it's a cheap and sociable way to get drunk.

You could always turn up with XXXX (lite)

I think I'm Heinekened out
Used to drink the a lot when OS, but try and go with a local brew instead these days

 

[IllBeTheJudge]

Ever been to a Belgian Beer Cafe?
Some of those are like drinking a meal ... and about as pricey!
The mussels are good though

Haven't been for a while but in Sydney they stopped serving the monster sized Hoegaardens. Not sure if they're back on or not

I dont think I could even bring myself to purchase that stuff Judge!

Well if you just invite me around to your place, I could ... ah never mind

 

[bubblegoose]

haha ... invite withdrawn!

 

[IllBeTheJudge]

Damn .. I had some Swan Golds I was looking to get rid of too

 

[TassieSaint]

Not that I'm overly qualified to talk about it, being pretty young but in my experience so far.

Best beer ever: Cascade First Harvest (I believe L2MFG will back me up on that)
Best beer in my price range : Cascade Draught
Most overrated beer: tie between Stella and any Blonde beer
Worst beer: tie between XXXX and Red Bitter

Although I will admit to still getting stuck into the Red Bitter occaisionally due to poorness.

 

[rodda]

all this talk of XXXX is making me feel physically ill.

Summer Vs Winter beer

During summer I'm happy with just about any beer, lighter flavoured beer - or even a heiny or corona - is pretty good.

Winter (or cooler month) beers for me are Cooper's Pale Ale & Boags Premium. In the cooler months quite a bit of Red wine gets a run too. A loooooot of red wine.

That's right my brother. The batch for this year has just been brewed I believed. I called up to ask when it was arriving and the girl told me it was available at 9 - 11 bottle shops. Well that's no good to me in Vic is it?!

Oh god, red wine. We've had some experiences with that...

As a matter of fact, I got a Carlton draft tingle right now!

so catchy!

 

[Squizz]

Everyone knows its the Carlton Draft tingle.

Geez the censors are soft. Who cares whether the dude has a sensation downstairs. He can get out of his car and go find a knot in a tree for all I care. But I guess CUB will get even more publicity now.

 

[bubblegoose]

Geez the censors are soft.

Only viral release - not for TV - so no media censors to worry about.

I shot this clip to a coupla mates so this evening, magically, there's beers around the firepit planned.

Here it is in tube form, I extracted the audio so it's now my ringtone

I like Stella. Affordable and easy to drink.
