XXXX Gold is a heavenly drop ... the full strength gives you a corker headache/hangover though ... leave it to me lads, either way, fluids will be sorted!!!
Make it Tooheys New all round and I'll be there.
I have to ask, what do the people here outside Vic think of VB. yeah yeah Im an old school bogan but It's still my poison of choice and I love it.
and, how do you guys feel seeing it on tap at your local pubs now...lol....That has to mean something to you diehard xxxx fans up and over there.
The cane toads are coming down and the Vb is coming up...lol
VB = green death!!! I hate the stuff, would much rather be drinking XXXX gold or New. Green death has been on tap up here for years, I've learnt to ignore that tap!
Tap
I guess It's just one of those things that you grow up on. having saying that everyone down here seems to be on Carlton Draught or Bundy...
XXXX Gold is the big one up here - VB is and probably always has been there, but it's as you say, something you grow up (or throw up) on and get used to ... personally can't stand the stuff and there is dead set not much I won't drink (the wife is croatian, so we get stuck into a fair bit of rakya which is just poison) ... Carlton Draught and Tooheys New are both good drops and I know a lot of mates who are into them ... Gold is just one of those beers that seems to have the right balance of flavour etc that appeals to most drinkers (i.e. if having a session, most will accommodate Gold, but are adamant on not touching other stuff - whatever that may be)
Bundy is huge everywhere now I guess - I'm sworn off the stuff as it makes me go insane, but still love the smell ...
At the end of the day, beer is like softdrink, some you like, some you don't ... however, 24 hours in a day, 24 stubbies in a carton - coincidence? I think not!!! LOL
Looks like around here is the similar to your part of the woods AB. Its either Carlton Draught, VB or Bundy....occasionally Melbourne Bitter
Personally I don't mind either of them in moderation of course......................hhhmmm moderation, whats that?
Hey you Qld'erds, have you had a XXXXX yet? Saw one the other day and had a good laugh!..lololol
You ever smelt stale Bundy breath the morning after? It makes me dry reach! Yuckie.
Can't stand bundy myself, went stupid on it as a young fella & now just the smell on it turns my gut......lolol
Best ever....hahahaha
I ment XXXXX (5X)

Classic, haven't seen it ... not that I lift my eyes when I go into the local bottle shop - I know it's 12 paces straight, turn right, 5 paces, turn left and open door on left to coldroom, enter coldroom 2 paces, turn left, 1 pace XXXX Gold immediately on right - repeat procedure in reverse to exit store!!!!
Well, if you know where the XXXX label comes from, then you MUST know that XXXXX has to be even better!!!!
Seriously though, I think people are just bored (and/or slow) up here in QLD, and the promotions guys sit around going ...
Promo person 1 - "what do ya reckon we call it?" ...
Promo person 2 - "dunno" ...
Promo person 1 - "how about we just add an X?" ...
Promo person 2 - "sounds good"
On my way there in about an hour as it turns out, so going to suss out a bit of 'XXXXX' action ...
Have to get in if there a spot left havent been around for awhile

Beer Sampling
Once it used to be
Powers Bitter was good,
Powers Big Red was better.
Then VB for ages.
Then came Carlton Mid Strengh nice for long time.
Now, Tooheys New,
or like a white stag,
or blonde.
Will drink xxxx Gold.
Don't really like Crown, Stien Fosters etc Lagers.
And by the way XXXXX was 4X celebrating 5 state of origins in a row.
Finly, you are a literal wealth of 'beer knowledge' old mate ... I bow down before you oh King of the Coldies ... LOL ...
That sounds great Tim, well done mate:cheers:
Cheers Wayne,
next rounds on Rosscoe.
I just had a very sad thought. I can't remember what WA's home grown beer is. Helllllllpppp
Pilsner isn't it?
I'd better rephrase that .... WA's most home grown favourite beer. We got a few micro breweries popping up everywhere here now.
At the moment mine is Original Pilsner brewed by the Little Creatures brewery in Freo, very nice but way too expensive...
Do they still make Swan Lager?
Tony
Dunno. I used to drink Carlton Mid Strength, but have changed to Pure Blonde
the one with pure blonde in it.
