VB or Tooheys New?

[rdhopkins2]

What is better? Personally I hate New!

My fav Melbourne beer is Carlton Draught on tap followed by VB stubbies.

Never could drink Tooheys- always made me want to chuck! Refuse to drink it unless its free.

VB's alright, not my favourite but Toohey's has always been pretty average.

At the end of the day beer is beer. You have your favourites and given a choice you'd go with the ones you prefer, but they all do the trick. West End Draught is not that flash, but if I go to the footy, cricket or my Grandfathers place, that's all they have - so I drink it. I would never buy a carton of VB or New, but if that's all that was on offer, I'd happily drink both. Having said that, the bogan beers from each state, namely being New, VB, West End Draught, XXXX and Emu are consistently the worst beers in the country. Tasmania's bogans actually drink good beer.

I prefer New over VB.

Papa G i'm the same with West End... as i go to the SANFL every week, i drink west end flat out.. i don't mind it though but i guess i am used to it.

New. There is nothing anyone could do to me to make me drink VB.

When i was younger i drank a fair bit of New, still like it a bit, but don't drink it very often.

Can't stand the taste of VB.

 

[kolchak]

Is it just me or is VB not as good as it used to be?

New has always been pathetic.

 

[HorseHead]

How about "none of the above" as an option? Both are horrible, horrible beers.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Always prefer VB and don't like New at all, but who can tell the difference anyway after you;ve already knocked down a few.

 

[Borry]

I much prefer New over VB, even though New is average.

VB for me. Tooheys is shocking.

That stuff is foul. If a drink is going to taste that bad I'd want it to be at least 40% alcohol. Not 6.5%.

Carlton Draught on tap is the best beer!

I drink it like Water.. It goes down so easily and an 8-pack is so much more convinient than two 6-packs

 

[TheWackedYak]

The "trough water" option has been left out again...this should have been merged with the "default beer" thread as anyone who's actually had decent beer wouldn't have these two near the top of their list if given a variety of choice.

What he said. I did actually purchase a slab of VB stubbies to complete my 2 slabs + $12 or whatever it was for a Boony/Beffy set, but ended up making it the default beer for guests.

Toohey's New isn't great but of the two aforementioned, it's a clear winner.
