Couldn't agree more.

And also re the aluminium cans in general - drinks in glass taste better across the board to me...

That's right. No self respecting Aussie would drink that crap. We're all drinking Heineken/Grolsch/Carlsberg etc. these days.

When I was in Oz, I drank Oranjeboom more than anything else.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.

Am I missing something here, because I dont mind Fosters, its quite pleasant and I can throw a lot of it down my neck without falling of my chair I think its far nicer than Hieneken or Carlsberg (unless its Export) I could happily do the Grolsh though, and Kronenberg, Stella, and a hundred others I could mention, what about getting totally ratted on Erdinger, the Earl Grey of lagers, though it looks more like something youd take to the doctors in a little glass vial

Drink of choise has to be VB (Victoria Bitter).

Strange thing beer - you're place of residence can be deduced in some peoples minds - accused of being a Queenslander on my last (planned) night at Coffs Harbour because of the beer I was drinking (they didn't do VB:!

Could I also put in a word for Wadworths . Yorkshire real beers are all very good but they ain't the b all and end all . Abbey, brewed here in Bath is well regarded.
