I live in Victoria so maybe some peeps up in Queensland where they drink XXXX, another one nobody touches down here, might go for it, or in NSW maybe.

Yeah an if you drink anything else other than VB where you're at you get heckled...not sure these guys understand the regional loyalty to piss Down Under
 
LOL Yeah mate; spot-on.

I've copped shit since the early '90s when I switched from VB to German brews. :LOL:
 
Hey, I'm not allergic to Seppo or Canuck piss; there's some great stuff from both areas.

I've just gotta stick to stuff that uses clean water, not tap water, due to health issues brought about by heavy-metal poisoning. I feel the difference as soon as I swallow the first "sip".

German brews have a much-higher hit ratio on my "clean detector", so I've tended to stick with 'em. Probably has something to do with the Reinheitsgebot (purity order) of 1516 and the German mentality surrounding purity and precision.
 
I was going to chime in on the Fosters too. My first trip we pulled into Freemantle went to Perth. I mentioned Fosters to some friends I met and hung out with for a few days and they all laughed and called it shit beer, no one drinks that.
 
Fosters, VB and XXXX are all total cats piss, Tooheys and Coopers ain't far behind.
 
Agreed, but Coopers does make some (maybe just one?) nice beer/s and always has.
 
Fosters - created by Americans and brewed in the UK. I can't say I've ever seen an Aussie drink one!

I googled it and it looks like Fosters is now brewed in Fort Worth, Texas since 2011.

Hard to do anything in Tejas with no power or water ATM.

I remember the Darts in the Pubs there i saw maybe 20 years before Darts were mainstream in the U.S.
No Billiards to be found.
And the radio stations were cool.
And most of the women wore dresses, no jeans & T-shirts for the females.
Not alot of trash/garbage in the city streets.

If it helps any, I heard that an estimated billion critters were killed during that month of fire, but, and I'm going from memory here but am sure about the top and bottom figures....

Feral cats alone kill, every year:

300 million birds
500 million reptiles, amphibians and insects
1 000 million (a billion) mammals / marsupials

... every year! That's just feral cats.

As is so often the case, we tend to hear about such events as the fires as part of a narrative, an agenda. Last year's were all about climate change. It wouldn't have helped the cause to state that more critters are killed every year by a single introduced "species". There're 23 million wild pigs out there (introduced) that do a lot of damage too, and also other introduced animals such as foxes, rabbits, deer, wild horses, wild camels, cane toads (their poison kills just about anything that attempts to eat 'em) and God knows what else.

So yeah, a billion is shocking, but it happens every year in addition to 300 million birds, plus the other half billion critters, and that's at the hand of one animal type alone.

You may or may not be surprised that I didn't hear a solitary mention of this context throughout that summer and since. I had to research this myself. He who accepts implied context from the LSM is doomed to delusion. :LOL:

yeah also the fact that wild fires in Australia have been on a steady decline for years now seems to get ignored

Indeed.

The last two summers in particular have been cold as well. This year's being the coldest in 19 years. Wet too.

Serves 'em right for diggin' a moat around the joint. :gethim:

Only remedy for the geetar would be to hang a Tazzie-shaped sporran from it. :LOL:
 
Left in ’89 but got to grow up in the best live music time through the early and mid 80’s. I’d put those years of Australian live music in the pubs and hotels against anywhere in the world and dare say unsurpassed. The bands from the late 70’s into the 80’s were truly world class. Never liked beer growing up, thanks to Swan Lager but once I found Guinness and Irish Murphy’s it was all good.
