    Default What do you think of Fosters?

    I voted "never touch it". Only because there was no option for "I would drink XXXX before I would drink that bat's p!ss."

    I'm getting more choosy as I get older and grumpier.

    I've never liked Fosters. If I'm really thirsty and just want a coldie, I drink VB.

    If I'm feeling contemplative and philosophical and want a long slow beer, I drink any of the following (in no particular order)

    Little Creatures Pale Ale
    James Squire IPA
    Cascade Premium
    and a lot of other good beers that I don't have time to list now because I've got to do some work

    You guys should all try Pilsner Urquell. Its a Czech beer from Pils (Doh - where they invented Pilsner). It came second (after Coopers black) in last years beer awards.

    I used to like VB a bit, but now it gets shoved down your throat at every Rugby or Cricket match and many other social events. I now automatically associate it with 20 minute queues for the dunny and bars/food. CUB must be good marketers and price well.

    PU may still be on special @ $43 a slab. Give it a try. Recommend a single malt chaser.

    Fosters is OK in Oz, but beware drinking it overseas. They brew it locally, you wouldn't pick it - apart from the label. Tried it in Ireland once, bat's urine would be kind.

    A couple of years ago in the UK a bar maid picked I was an Aussi and asked if I wanted a fosters which they had on tap. I carefully explained to her that the reason we exported it to the uk was to sell it to poms as no one in their right mind drank it in Australia.
    To me it ranks with emu bitter, xxxx and southwark ( possible delibrate spelling mistake ) As the beers to ovoid .

    That's the carp they used to transport over to melbourne every year when we had our once traditional Xmas beer strike. That stuff really is dog's pi55!
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
