Hell one afternoon's boat trip to South Straddie dissapeared after a sequence of those...

For aficinados on this subject matter see what Michael Jackson has to say http://www.beerhunter.com

agreed James Boaig is excellent - i only added "popular" beers on tap to it. stuff you'd find down pub.

I thought Crown was South African - duh!

I'm disappointed in you Badger - what ever happened to Cascade Premium - brewed in Hobart, now available on the mainland, and closest thing to heaven I have ever tasted......!!

Yeah shes an aussie sheila Of course she can out drink me!!

Don't know why i prefer Pale, just has a slightly better flavor. Don't get me wrong, id sooner drink sparkling than alot of other oz beers....

Now.....you might want to sit down for this next bit.....

A slab of coopers pale is going to cost us 30 quid. Ouch. Only reason we are doing it is the wife is homesick

Cheers

Pete.

Hi Badgers,

Try this

http://www.surf4wine.co.uk/Beer.html

They do coopers, VB and boages by the slab. 30 quid each.

Seems Sainsbury is cheaper !!!!
