What do you think of Fosters?

[Ashore]

Grunt Corona is better with lime , or take a swig and top up with Tequila called a mexican head slammer.

As to strong beers there use to be an aussie beer called tankard about 9.2 %
Was the best fighting beer I ever saw , But they wanted to tax it as a spirit
Great catch up beer if you arived late at a party.

I'd much rather have 1 good beer than 2 ordinary ones.

Me too.
Of course, 2 good beers would be even better.

OK, Like others I wouldn't touch Fosters with somebody else's lips, what I drink...mainly Cascade Premium Larger, Coopers (gota support the local product) and a wheat beer called Erdinger....

Going to the site now to tell CUB to "export their Fosters"

[Wassy]

EB (if I could find a local supplier) or Red Back for me...... only then when the home brew dries out.

[Iain]

Fosters is great....................as an export item as it leaves the good ones here.
I love my home brewed old ale made with malt not sugar and Bavaria, the Dutch beer with a German name made for an Australian supermarket chain.
I also brew cider for SWMBO, must admit I don't mind it either but it takes twice as long to ferment as beer.
I also find the home brew tastes better after about 2 months in the 2nd fermentation stage.
Fosters free zone here.

Hey, can anyone else remember the Games Special beer that came out in Brisbane for the Commonwealth games in 1982?

it was very strong, malty and very hopsy as i recall it, but hten again i drank so much of it its a wonder i remember it at all

[barnsey]

Some of my most pleasant memories - I think - were the long lunches at the Brekkie Creek Hotel with the beer off the wood :confused:

Ah the good old days - get there about 12:00 and leave shortly before then. Had to drive coz you were too pi55ed to walk!! :eek:

[barnsey]

Mind you there are even fonder memories of Jimmy Watsons in Lygon Street Carlton.

You go in there and you never know when you come out :confused:

[Waldo]

G'day Doug,

Yeah I can remember the cans, until a few years ago I still had some, but I was too young to drink the stuff.

Ahh, the Breaky Creek, when I worked in an ad gency in West End, another bloke and I would go for lunches all around the joint to find the best steaks. We found the 1. Breaky Creek and 2. The Keg at Wooloongabba were the best places.

Those were the days.

[maglite]

I'm surprised nobody has mention Swan Light (0.9% wasn't it?) :eek:

We use to call it "sex on the beach" over here.

[Grunt]

Does anyone from WA remember Skip and Go Naked?. When I was 15 and getting drunk on the weekends this is what the girls used to drink. Really terrible sweet sparkling wine. Got'em drunk tho.

[Ashore]

Never heard of Skip and Go Naked but i'd say our equilivent was Passion Pop
Sounds like the same stuff






The trouble with life is there's no background music.

[Cagey]

Used to buy that stuff for $1.50 a bottle, cheap way to get drunk except for the nastiest hangovers.

Personally will not touch fosters, For general drinking Carlton Midstrength, special occasions Crown Lager.

I am not a fan of the Australian general purpose beers - New, VB and Fosters. I drink Tooheys Black Old (the MUD), but do wander around researching other brews - The James Squire range, Coopers, Boags Matillda Bay etc.
