Superthread LXXIII: Honouring He Who Shall Not Be Named

[Bazal]

Straight from one of the brewers, no hops go into VB. Flavourings do,one of which is a hop extract, but no actual hops

The only mainstream standard Aussie lager that uses real, actual hops (of the generic beers) is Tooheys New. It's still shit, mind you....

corona above all

You just contradicted yourself.

Corona is dishwater with fancy marketing sold to people silly enough to pay.

I tried carlton dark on tap last night. Not bad.

Best beer ever made.



I find it all the tome. Somewhat surprised hipsters haven't embraced it.



Was your mouth out with Resches, you heathen!

What are you talking about Drew? Hipsters love the stuff, the only part of NSW where Reschs is achieving double digit growth is the Inner West of Sydney.

I remember working for Bluestar Beverages, and we had to deliver cartons of Reschs + Melbourne Bitter to this hipster diner somewhere in Darlinghurst, and they would only accept the delivery if it came with single bottle brown paper bags. Classy...

I've not tried it, but it gets some reasonable reviews on the Dan Murphy site. It is $15 a 6 pack there.
