    I have to agree that it's a fine beer and up there with my favorites.

    At the mo however, my favorite beer is Grolsch.

    Fosters, as Darren so rightly says, is p!ss and if they don't have that option I ain't voting.

    Incidently, I reckon that Carlton Crown is just Fosters in a fancy brown bottle.

    It used to be a good beer before it was bought out by CUB.
    Not anymore though.

    OK, well if we're aiming for the sky, Hoegarten is a good drop (need some of those funny dots over the o). But if you want to feel like you head's been kicked in, get over to the Nelson and grab a pint or seven of Nelson's Blood. Aaaargh!!! Three Sheets is not bad, but it's only about 6.5% :eek:

    The managers on a project I worked on once thought Crownies were top shelf, so they used to order one case of Crownies, two of VB, some light crap and a carton of Old. All the lads would dive on the crownies with glee and scoff them so no-one else could have them. I was happy because it diverted their attention from the real beer, the Tooheys Black!!

    Ah yes, now we're talking beer. It tastes so nice because it's an ale not a lager. My favourite beer in the world is the San Miguel from the Manilla brewery, officially rated as one of the best 3 beers in the world.

    That'll set AA back twenty years.

    James Squire Pilsner is the best beer in Australia.

    Also, like most other from Malt Shovel, Coopers Sparkling, Little Creatures (so bitter, yum), 500ml bottles of Grolsch, Beck (good for headaches too) and lots of others too.

    Well speaking of strong beers....

    Years ago when I was young and stupid (as opposed to being old and stupid ) I used to have a taste for Carlsberg Elephant Beer. 7.5% or soemthing :eek:

    Way too strong for me nowadays.

    Too right, it's deadly. Many moons ago I was SE Asia GM for a Danish construction company. The boss always drank Carlsberg when he visited, and one day he slipped me Elephant and laughed his head off when I got legless.

    Most high alcohol beers are too sweet for my liking. Chimay the Belgian beer is 9% and far too sweet. The brewers have to add lots of sugar to the wort so all them yeasties can eat it and poo out lots of alcohol and burp lots of Co2

    one day he slipped me Elephant
    :eek:

    I used to work with a guy whose party trick was "the white elephant". He used to turn his pockets inside out, unzip his fly, and hang it out.

    I'm surprised nobody has mention Swan Light (0.9% wasn't it?) :eek:
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Fosters - ugh.

    Stienlager...now there's a beer. Any of the Montieths are worth a go, esp. 'Black'. Cascade Pale Ale. Hahn Witbeer. Wiessbeir. Redback. James Squire Porter. Guinness anytime. Boags 'Seasons' range. Ahhhhh, beer.

    There are no bad beers it's just some are better than others

    Let all be honest, there's no bad beer it's just that some is better than others. Just like when there's no refrigeration, if you don't have to blow the steam off it, then its cold enough.
