Most beers are drinkable, it's just that some are more drinkable than others. At the end of the days it's each to their own.....

I used to like Stone and Wood. Now I find it a bit fruity and weak tasting.
When I was 15 I remember skulling a VB. Then not touching it again for years. Everyone called it vomit beer. Now half my friends drink it including myself.

I got a case of Fosters when we went away in my early drinking days. FMD that was a bad choice. VB was a million times better.

Back in the day when Melbourne Bitter was the cheapest case you could buy, so made an appearance at many parties etc... that stuff made VB taste like the pinnacle of premium lagers!

And who the f**k in Australia thought it was smart to call a lager a bitter in the first place?

Beer is more than just lager.

No.

 

[84 Baby]

No.

But you’ll keep thinking about it now.

Yeah, fair point.

I've drank? VB since I was a teenager. It is my taste.
I've no interest in being a craft beer wanker.
I have tried many craft beers over the years and most of them are shit.

Agree, hot day, cold schooner of new or vb. Noice. Old school.

You don’t have to be a wanker to drink craft beer. But personally I find that it helps.
