The Beer thread

[bengal tigers]

I know Ballarat is far away but are you actually an Australian citizen?

OI OI OI,,,I wouldn't touch the chemical factory crap of C.U.B,,You metro people have poor taste,or like cheap crap.

Please, Budweiser is crap.

Gimme something German, Czech or Belgian. If we're talking Australian beverages, they need to have grapes in them, not hops.

Bud made in Australia is crap ,,Budvar a Czech beer is close to Budweiser is good also,WINE real men don't drink Wine

Budvar isn't bad, my old boss used to buy it because it was cheap (he lived to promote the tight Scotsman stereotype!). It's better than Budweiser though.
As for real men.... I don't need to conform to some outdated bogan stereotypes! I got my Brets Chips and a beefy Shiraz - Pretty sure my bollocks haven't fallen off....yet...

Budvar is great, I spent 6 months in the Czech Republic in 2016/2017 and lived in the city where it originated and was the equivalent of $1.50 AUD a pint. Good times.

Arrogant Bastard Ale | Stone Brewing

This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory—maybe something with a multimillion-dollar ad...

This stuff puts hair on your bits

Edit - I nursed one for an entire Chris Abraham set. The7.5 percent makes them perfect for gigs when you can’t get to the bar easily.

Cheap for sure. I was there maybe 12-15 years ago. Would go to like a smaller supermarket in the city, pay 50cents for 1litre bottle, drink it walking around the city and then get 10cents back for returning it. Then there was the time I didn't have a train ticket, Geez this is much longer ago. They caught me and fined me on-the-spot 5cents. I started arguing and making excuses and then it clicked in my mind, what the hell am I doing, just pay and move on. I like the Kozel beers best, in the 500ml bottles.

Good to see some discussion of Czech beers in this thread, an area where I feel much more confident of my own knowledge (I used to live in Prague) than I do of our potential draftees. Krusovice and the aforementioned Kozel were my favourites.

For anyone who likes this brewing style I would recommend Foreigner Brewery (based in Brunswick) which was started by two guys of Czech origin.

Terrific post, All Monasteries are Breweries. Thank you. I had not idea that there were people in Brunswick who could brew. (I've been to all the places where they can't.) Your post has been a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day. I shall visit this Foreigner and not just for the music.

As a bogan who grew up in Geelong drinking VB (and home brew even earlier) I have no idea what the hell you are all on about.

My big step up was going to Carlton Dry 12 years ago…that’s it.

Heh heh heh....but you've come a long way though Beebs. I was down in Berwick today. Didn't realise those hospitals were so big. They're massive. Becoming a city on its own.

Didn't know that brewery existed in Brunswick, but agree on Krusovice.

Do you want to know what love is?






Dusty and Jack embracing after a flag...sigh.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Truly funny.

 

[Leysy Days]

Agree with everyone that Budvar is a great drop.

Any love for Urquell Pilsner? Loved it when travelled there 20 years ago now. Can get it out here as well.

Draft or draught?

Please to be discussing your favourite ales, lagers, bitters, draughts and pilsners here!


I'll merge the Czech stuff here in a second, but outside of Czech beer, the Flemish have some good stuff.

Me likey Leffe, Trappist, struggling to remember the others we drank there...

And there's something to be said for the Bavarian Purity laws...real Hofbrau Weißbier or Dunkel....1l of each please.

Real men drink whatever we bloody well want to. Give me a nice aged Cab Sav or Shiraz any day.

As mass produced beers go, VB is ok. Melbourne Bitter is absolute *smile*, Fosters awful, Carlton Draught barely drinkable but better than mid strength if nothing else on offer. I was always partial to Coopers Sparkling Ale back when I drank more beer.

Draught of course. It's English not bloody Umurikan.
