Southwark Bitter is great if it's icy cold but as soon as that temp shifts, it turns into arse.
When Mrs Wharfie's grandfather first retired to Adelaide from the farm we'd go and visit him and he'd get a bottle of Southwark Bitter out of the cupboard and I'd have a drink with him with the beers served in Vegemite glasses. It was all I could do to swallow without a grimace but I earnt a lot of brownie points.

The one on the far left just screams 1970s dad

When I was a young fella I always took a slab of Southwark Bitter to parties. Guaranteed to not get stolen by cheap campaigners who turned up with a six pack and helped themselves to everyone else's beer

Anyway - Coopers Pale Ale (in fact most of Coopers products, especially Sparkling Ale) is the ******* Ace...

And I'll drunkenly fight anyone that says otherwise
I don't think Coopers ever made its way to Woomera, it was a choice between Southwark and Worst End - a lot of people drank spirits. The first time I tasted Coopers Sparkling Ale was at the Sail and Anchor pub in Fremantle and I was hooked on the spot - it's still my winter time beer of choice.

The Sail and Anchor was one of, if not the first pub breweries in Australia. Redback was all the rage at the time and paved the way for the whole 'craft beer' movement. Inevitably they sold out to the big boys and the people involved came up with Little Creatures Pale Ale, another phenomenal success and a fave of mine even though it costs more than many interstate/imported beers :thumbsdown:

I groaned at the price when I bought myself a Little Creatures Pale slab a few weeks back but whatever treat yo'self

Favourite would be Coopers sparkling ale. Drank a fair bit of that James Squire one fifty lashes over summer, that went down well.

The HJ's at Pelican Plaza has a hedge out the front that says HUNGRY JACKS. It's not impressive but it's all we've got in the field of hedge lettering.
This one's been going since I was a kid. The lettering is less precise nowadays (but at least it has a full stop);
