The thread for talking about Beer
Patrick:
Have I told you guys about how my first beer of '08 was a Foster's? I grabbed a 0.5L can of that shit to open at the stroke of midnight New Year's Eve, and I had never had Foster's before. I was amazed how disappointed I truly was. I thought, "Hm, it can't really be that bad." Fucking wrong. The only reason Heineken is still higher on my "shit beer" list is because of the abrasive artificially-carbonated fizz. At least Foster's has natural carbonation. Fuck man, I'm just going to drink horse piss next year instead.
Inlander:
How could anybody be disappointed by Fosters? That would imply that you had some kind of happy expectations for it in the first place!
Fosters has been concentrating on the overseas market for years now, especially the British market, but they've recently managed to get their sales up in Australia by stealth: one of the most disappointingly popular new beers in Australia is a vile concoction called Pure Bland Blonde, which trumpets itself on the label as a "Premium Lager" but is in fact just a crappy bog-standard mass-produced lager. Close scrutiny of the label reveals that it's brewed (though "dredged up" would probably be a more fitting term) by Fosters.
McTaggart:
My first beer of the year is going to be Little Creatures' Roger's beer. I haven't had some in a long time so I can't talk at length of the taste, but the colour (which is very near the flavour) is also a great thing. It has this really pretty reddy pinkness to it.
