But they brew it at Yatala before sending it down to NSW. The stuff physically has to drive past my shop, and I still can't buy it!

You can buy the Reschs "silver bullets" in the bottle shops up here, or is that different stuff?

Anyone tried Otteinger? Old man buys pretty cheap cartons of it and is pretty decent for cheap imported stuff. Comes in 500mL cans as well

I've never seen them up here, and my CUB rep tells me he cannot sell them to me either. Where are you seeing them?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

If you really desperate there is a few clubs you can join that will deliver pretty much whateva you want to your door

I live at Coolangatta, so it's a 2 minute trip to Bay Boozatorium and a carton of Reschs. It is more of an issue when I'm out and about at pubs + clubs.

Finally tried the vale pale ale last night. I still prefer both the JS pale ale and the BB 28 pale ale.

Although it's still very much worth drinking.

They sell them at the 1st Choice in Keperra (Brisbane Nth).

Ill send some down to you if you send up some SW Pac Ales

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Hammer & Tongs :sarcasm:

 

[MKEB...]

I got 30 bottles of steinlager to last me the weekend.

Oh, and a big bottle of Duvel for this evening

Silver bullets is Resches Pilsner (or at least, it was).

Oh how I love Resches Draught but I can't find it around Newcastle.

 

[Skinner]

Oh how I miss Reschs. Stupid Queensland not having Reschs (and stupid CUB making it NSW exclusive).

Greenmount Beach Surf Club in Coolie have it on tap mate.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Yeah I've had many nights on it at Greenmount. They get away with it since their official name is Coolangatta - Tweed Heads SLSC. Quite cunning. Otherwise I have to go visit Dolphins :crazy:

six pack of bullets then off for a surf, happy days

 

[Bazal]

Mildura Brewery Choc Hops Stout. In the spirit of the season, of course

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Jesus was a stout fan?

 

[Bazal]

Not sure, but I am reliably informed he enjoyed chocolate...

Day four in Sydney and if there is Resches on offer I've been drinking it. Caught up with a friend at the London in Balmain last night and was on the Coopers green but stopped for a sneaky schooner at the Dry Dock after I got off the ferry... Now that place is a nice pub.

Just had a session at the Town Hall in Newie as well. Nice pubs in Sydney. Totally different to the environment in Melbourne where there's very few old school pubs and the market is saturated with trendy gastro pubs.

 

[LESStar58]

Bud is very middle of the road imo. Miller is the best of the American "generic" beer but thats not saying much really. Id never by Bud here in Oz unless it was rediculously cheap

Yank beer, with the exception of Sam Adams, is pish. SA Dark Lager is magnificent!
