You shouldn't have stolen David's beer. He'll be very annoyed ;)

First Scotch of the evening. Cheers

It must just be one of those beers that doesn't travel well. Something has to be done about the quality of these mass produced beers.

:?

Was that a failed attempt at a Beckham joke?

It's less funny not in my head.

Can I buy some of whatever you're smoking?

Delirium. Try it.

I get it :lol:
My bad

Sounds like some kind of designer cologne :lol:

"Delirium for men: the new fragrance from Hugo Boss"

Will never beat Sex Panther:
"Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. "

"60% of the time, it works every time".

Alright Bar Thread. I issue you a challenge. Suggest me a beer that I'll like. So essentially, a beer that a person who hates beer/cider will like, or would possibly get them into beer.

Winner will get a free hug.

Root beer, I'll take a raincheck on the hug.:lol:

What Beers have your had, and disliked?

I don't associate or speak to males who aren't in possession of a penis... sorry can't help you ;)

I don't know really, I try them on occasion, but I don't really pay attention, because in all honesty, they all taste the same to me.

Rekorderlig Cider, James Squire Golden Ale, Hoegaarden Weissbrau.

Most Australian beer is awful. Good luck. If I may, however, I would recommend Tui if you can get it there.

Tried Rekorderlig. Decent, but not a winner. Will put the other 2 on the list, though I feel I may have tried James Squire before too.

You can get Tui here, but it's not THAT Good :lol:

Also give Leffe a crack, it's not cheap though.

Rekorderlig has a number of varieties. Their raspberry and Lime cider is too sweet for my taste, but try that.

Personally. Main Stream commercialized to the fuck Beer, I'd only recommend Pure Blondes.

Other Aussie beer I'd reccomend.

James Squires - give the whole range a try
Coopers - Sparkling and Pale Ale

Last night after work, we all went to The Bridge Hotel in Rozelle, only joint in the area that's still open when we close at 3am. I swear to god, they've nearly put me off beer. The 2 Pure Blondes I had were warm, the glasses (plastic) was still hot from the washer, and I suspect they didn't bother washing one of the glasses, cause I've come down real sick today. I'm fine now, but I was vomiting like mad this morning.

Pure Blonde is a good beer for seasoned drinkers, but I wouldn't be recommending it to someone who professes to not liking beer.

Yeah, I've tried a couple of them. The plain Apple one wasn't that great, but the Strawberry (I think) was decent. Thing is, The only real reason I have for drinking beer is that it's cheaper than Scotch, and from memory those Rekorderlig's are fairly pricey, which sort of defeats the point.

At AU$24.50 (according to xe) for 24 bottles it's pretty fucking good!

Yeah, that was my problem with the Rekorderlig, it's sickly sweet too.

The problem is that a lot of alcohol is insanely priced these days so you can't go out on the cheap anymore. All the good beers know it, and charge an insane price for their beer too.

Over here you're paying closer to $40/slab and that's IF you can find it in a slab.

You guys pay an outrageous price for alcohol in Australia.

EDIT: An idea, perhaps, would be to start with something that is on a par with horsepiss (i.e. XXXX) and just get used to drinking it. After a while, change up and it will be surprisingly nice.

It's cause the government puts ridiculous amounts of taxes on it. Not just beer, everything these days. Fuck I hate this country sometimes :lol:
