I've confessed before to having a liking for XXXX gold It's a hot weather knockin em back kind of thing.

And definintely agree about the Carlton...and add Toohey's New to the hated list.

Oh dear. No going back for you now! I can drink one or two XXXX Gold but it's too heavy on my stomach and after 3 I think why did I even drink one?

I drink Tooheys Extra Dry now. And it's on offer in 1st Choice $33.90 a slab

eh ? xxxx gold heavy on your stomach ? 5 pints of guiness is a little heavy on my stomach... but a stubbie or two of xxxx gold?!


sounds like you're a bit of a lightweight, Louise...

Absolutely!

Gold - heavy??

Perhaps Fosters Light Ice would me more the ticket...like my ex's nan drinks.

Get some Trappist Beer down yer necks and tell me about heavy!

The taste of it repeats on me. And I can feel it sitting on my stomach, yuck!

Don't know about guiness never drink the stuff! Tooheys or Hahn Superdry for me.

Yeah, I've drunk at the Andechs Monastery in Bavaria. Great beer, but it looks (and goes down) like black treacle and is unbelievably f**king strong! They had to pour us out of there, thank heavens we were not driving!

I think Australia is too expensive. It would be great if they were doing a few world cup beer deals like the UK.

Beer is too damn expensive in aus

Sure, but is it too cheap in the UK? I saw the 1st episode of The Scheme last night - pretty horrific stuff and I reckon a lot of these people's problems are caused by the availablity of massive amounts of ultra-cheap booze.

Beer can never be too cheap if you drink sensibly

I know that and you know that - even unsensibly on the odd occasion. But it seems a lot of people in the UK don't know what drinking sensibly means! same for some in Australia - just costs a bit more.

This post has now made me sad!

I will now go and spend $50 on a case of Stella.

Great innit? Not what you'd call a 'Session Beer'.

Might get one for tonight actually, I need it after this working week ... just the one

I had 3 steins (litres) and I was toast - actually it was less as I couldn't finish the 3rd!

Reminds me of the time I drank real scrumpy, I was f***ed for days afterwards
