I liked Carlton Cold when I was there. It's Troy Bayliss's favourite beer so that's good enough for me! (aussie bike racer)

Don't know if you can get it in the Uk though.

The Bundaberg Rum people made or maybe still make a beer with Bundaberg Rum in it.......it was foul

Beegee

Pretty sure you can get in the Walkabout pubs metioned earlier in the thread

Uuurrrgggg! where the hell did that concoction come from :scared:

We keep changing our minds by the minute! To be honest, I't really down to Melbourne, Perth or Adelaide. It depends on how much drink we've had as to which comes out on top! When sober it's Adelaide, and as we spend most of the time sober then I think that's the one for us!
Having said that, they make a lot of vino there don't they?!

Hope we'll get there one day

Well that's just silly! Almost as bad as the rum and lime thing.....leave it alone. Rum and coke is the only way to go (except for neat rum on the rocks and maybe, just maybe rum in coffee on a cold day)

Started as part of a health kick by the guys on the station where I worked. One bright spark worked out how much coke they were managing to consume daily with their rum and decided that, initially as a hangover cure, they would do half coke, half orange juice. It soon progressed from hangover cure to full on all night beverage. It curdles nicely, hence the Mud Rum. I wouldn't go near the stuff!

Bundaberg Rum is good stuff Bundaberg also make a lovely ginger beer.. now I reckon that'd make an interesting drink mixed with a splash of rum...

I would also recommend trying the Australia Shop in Covent Garden for some Australian and New Zealand beers not sold elsewhere in the UK ... last time I was there (may this year) they had Cascade, Redback and Coopers beer amongst others...

Indeed, called a Dark 'n' Stormy and I love 'em!

The Australia Shop (http://www.australiashop.co.uk/) in Covent Garden is good and you can always go over to the Walkabout across the road to sample the beer there.

Our local (independent) off licence here in Cambridge often has Coopers and Cascade. And we bought a bottle of Bundy Black for £17! Maybe I should go into business with them and run a mail order service....

Brissiegirl

oooh I forgot about Dark'n'Stormy!!! Cripes, I've been away for too many years!! will be tucking in next year

I luuuuurrve the Australia Shop.. I can get Cherry Ripes.. Chokito Bars.. Caramello Koalas!!! Oooh the list goes on and on!!

If you think that's bad, I had a fruit smoothy on the South Bank Brisbane which had things like wheatgerm, carrots and beetroot in it. And there wasn't even any alcohol in it :scared:

Brissiegirl

I reckon you'd get alot of business too if you did that... I'd love to have a bit of Bundy Rum to make some very rummy rumballs for xmas to bring into work....

Brissiegirl

now that sounds far to healthy!!! uuuurrggghhh!! I like wheatgerm, carrots and beetroot, but not like that!!

bundy

...warheads, strawberries and cream, ripe raspberries, killer pythons (personal favourite).....

Mr B actually missed our train to the Lake District in the summer because he was buying Bundy Rum and Killer Pythons from the Oz Shop!
