The local bottleshop has Crown Summer Reserve Pale Ale for $20.

You get 24x375 ml stubbies at 4.5% alc for that price - a tick over 80 cents a stubbie.

All you trendy Wendy's can drink your $80 for 24x330 ml pig's swill and feel some self grandisement.

I'm laughing.

I also buy mark downs sometimes...you ain't special

Just tried a Colonial IPA 6.5%, not overpowering and very nicely going down, noticed it's a little cloudy and there seems to be a yeast residue at the bottom of the can, is it viable to culture this yeast?.

By the time it gets to you, I would say it is unlikely that you would be able to get anything out of that yeast.

Cheapest beer I've bought for ten years.

If I still had my ute, I'd take a whole pallet of the stuff. At that price it could taste like gin's piss and still be worth it.

Really?

Really?

Well maybe not......

How about if it tasted like Corona?

Just going through stock today at work and found a six pack of Becks at the back of the fridge that had just ticked over the best before date so they were written off, not my favourite but at that price I don't care

Tap water is free.

Tap water is free.

And just as alcoholic as Corona/Crown Summer whatever the f**k.

Only Dousty still drinks Crowns...

Yes. I'd prefer to drink rainwater from the gutter than drink shit like Perrier, Franklin and Pump.

Tbh all their beers I've had are decent at worst, and cheap enough.

I tried their mixed dozen or whatever it is case of craft beers at a mate's. Pretty handy for the money. Nothing amazing but very drinkable.

Bentspoke have another new beer in cans...!

How's It Gosen? Tropical gose. Amarillo hops, obvious gose style.

Think the bastard child of a German/Belgian sour and a can of Pasito. Gun summer beer, but serious enough with the gose thing that it's not your usual mass produced easy drinker. A beer nut will find this easy, someone who reckons Fat Yak is craft beer will find it way too dry and sour.

Personally I agree with the beer nut

It’s only 4.2%..

On the plus side, I went into my old local today to find a full door of bent spoke..

I’ll be travelling a bit further to buy my beer now..

I've been taking the opportunity here in the US to try as much craft beer as possible.

Most major supermarkets let you build your own six-packs, so I'm getting six different craft beers or local macrobrews every week or so.

So far, my favorite has been the Hemperor HPA from New Belgium Brewing, the Vanilla Porter from Breckenridge, the Ayinger Oktober-Fest-Marzen, and Thru the Haze from Bear Republic.

What’s up with cask beer?

Not a fan.

Who even thought that was a good idea?

If anyone’s ever in Melbourne, go check out moon dog world..

If you give me decent notice I can join you for a beer..

Having a thousand Corona’s. Price was right - free.
