surfpup Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 FOSTERS! You yanks really got sucked in on that one. Well, the lager is bland but the "ale" - even though it's really just a darker lager - is cheap and pretty sufficient. Even though I'm just a "yank" I have some experience with beer and ale. We actually brew some decent ones here in the states believe it or not. Bottom line, if you could buy your country's Foster's ale for less than our country's Budweiser, what would you buy? I buy the 25.4 oz cans for $1.79 USD. That's less than $1 per glass. If that's "sucked in" I'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late Grandfather once bought a no name,generic brand beer many moons ago for an Xmas party and never lived it down.It was even mentioned in his eulogy. No one including he drank more than a mouthful. I love my beer and will not settle for second best. I guess seeing you're a teacher anything will do after fronting a class of kids all day!

surfpup Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 On a related note, Beer Advocate (a decent review panel) gave your Toohey's Extra Dry a C- , calling it "bland, clean, dry and, against all reason, refreshing". Meanwhile they gave the Foster's Ale a C. Our Sierra Nevada Pale Ale got an A as did Anchor Steam and most of the Rogue brews, btw. I'll try to find your Toohey's here so I can try it, but it doesn't look to be anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Oh you funny little yanks and your boutique try hard beers[lol] Sorry, but that sentence sucks. What were you attempting to say? Are we "little yanks" now? I haven't noticed any shrinkage. And are we funny as well? What do you call a hard beer? Your beloved Toohey's is 5% ABV. The Foster's ale you so despise is 5.5% Perhaps you get a different brew at home (I think the Toohey's Extra Dry Platinum is 6.5%), but I often buy ales here between 7% and 9% ABV. What constitutes a hard beer? Besides, you drink Toohey's because everyone else near you does not because of its taste. Go order a Toohey's up in Queensland if you love it so much.

You'se are the one's that did it. Personally,it slides down my neck smoother so I can drink twice as much as fast and I love the taste. So I'm indepted to y'all. I prefer Irish Mist over WT liquer but it still does the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 You tell me. You'se are the one's that did it. So we could sell it to y'all i suppose! It covers up the nasty taste of the original product! I prefer Irish Mist over WT liquer but it still does the same job. I'll agree with you there so we can just tip back a few shots of Irish Mist! It's still a couple hours to closing time here and the GF is on a job overseas for a week so I have some free time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I love this! It really is like a pub with arguments over the best beer LMAO. Peroni Nastro and Budvar Budweiser are my favourites. Czech Budweiser is like a custom shop Gibson compared to Budweiser, Fosters and Carlsberg (all Epi Les Paul Specials in comparison:-" ) In this pub I would like to request the food served is USA sized portions. My American friends laugh when we eat out in the uk and see what we call medium and large here. I laugh for joy in the US when I order one slice of pizza in a shopping mall I get almost a whole pizza hut small pizza! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Actually Lowdown the best (and worst) comment I heard someone say to a woman in the pub was this; From the back this lady was slim and curvey, with long blonde flowing hair; this pissed bloke approached her and as she turned around she wasn't actually very good looking[crying] so he slurred "love..you back doesn't deserve your front" cringe worthy!!

Matt A couple of mates and I were at a pub.Was almost closing time.One mate was asleep at the table(resting his eyes ya see)barmaid said 'twas time to go.The entertainment(band)was over. Mate wakes up,looks her straight in the eye and says"so...entertain me". Was very funny at the time. Obviously we were booted out. One of those "had ta be there" moments. Still makes me laugh thinking bout it now. This is the same bloke who also tried to take on a group of Rebels bikies. Another story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
