Got this a few months ago. Would recommend.

How much, imno?


Think it was around 80. There's a cheaper one too, not 12 years though.

cheers for that... this game me a good idea of what i'm drinking aswell http://www.tooheysnew.com.au/product.php?p=old

Next time you go to Dan Murphy's, grab a copy of their beer guide, it's informative reading.
Their website has a digital version too.
If you like Old, try Squires IPA or Coopers Dark Ale. Nom.

I've had Coopers Dark Ale before, quality... I'll check that guide out in a sec

found out the other day that Strongbow/Cider has like six times the amount of sugar that a regular beer has

Has anybody heard the rumour that Coopers Pale Ale doesn't give you a hangover. Thus far iv'e tried that experiment, and it's true to it's word. Mind you, i haven't had the opportunity to down more then 6 in a row :lol:

That's true from my experience. Same with Boags Pure as I mentioned before. Wonder why? Coopers is really dense with yeast, and logic would suggest that it'd have more impurities because of that, and thus give you a hangover...?

Coopers Pale Ale is superb on tap but I can't stand it in stubbies.

I've only been living in Melbourne eight weeks and knocked off my fifth slab last week, at this rate I'll be forced to lower myself to goon in the near future. I miss the stupid/ignorant days of an underager where I would throw my savings away on Canadian Clubs, haven't had one in ages

Dry is definitely the best but Cola goes alright, I prefer the premix to mixing it myself though

Back on the topic of beer, been prowling the beer thread on the SFCU forums. FML they're really into the boutique stuff!!! :lol:.

Does anyone know if this is sold in Australia, or would i have to import it in?



Sounds good enough to get completely tanked on after just one or two :lol:.

Does anyone know if they stock it at Dan Murphy's?

Speaking of DMs - Do they stock Baltika - the Russian Beer?

Australian orange juice is great, but the bottled water is horrible compared to ours.

Mainstream Australian beer tastes like NZ beer decanted through a dirty sock.

But still, sink a 4X and then a Tui and notice the distinctly better flavour of the Tui, then consider the lower cost also.

Fuck that :lol:.

I can understand a Pint being $8.50 - a Schooner and you'd be raising eyebrows i s'ppose. Although i think the worst i seen was over the summer i was at Coogee with my GF, and we popped into the Coogee Bay Hotel - $9.00 for a bottle of Coronas....:-" #-o .

Spent $27 on Coronas for myself. :lol:. Never again!!!

You can buy them at retail for about $55/case - that's $2.30 each RRP. Even based on that, they're making nearly 400% profit. Ridiculous.
