Superthread LXXIII: Honouring He Who Shall Not Be Named

That was Resches slogan for ages

It was indeed. It still pisses me off that I can't get Resches in a pub or a club anywhere around here, when the last club I bought it in is in Queensland. I don't go to Sydney much these days, but I also had trouble buying it down there.

To me, it is the ultimate in Australian grass roots beer and a bloody good thirst quencher on a warm day

it's now an on-premise, keg only beer sold to the 'club' channel by CUB..

We still get stubbies + longnecks in NSW, and it's widely available on tap in pubs, clubs, and hipster diners.

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!

 

[Abz]

corona above all

 

[dogslife]

Is Corona really even considered beer?

 

[muzby]

corona is an effective hangover beer when you need a hair of the dog..

outside of that, there is a reason they put lime in the top... and it's not to keep the flies out..

 

[adamkungl]

Corona is filth. Worst beer of all time

 

[Abz]

if you dont like corona, there's plenty of other beers above aus crap german, japanese and serbian all shit on vb from great heighths

 

[adamkungl]

Imported cheap lager is the lowest of the low. Corona, Stella, Peroni, etc can all f**k off.

 

[Red Bear]

Crown is only good when your dad gives you one at a family function. Paying for that shit is akin to paying for shit food because it had a nice name.

Resches, 150 Lashes and Coopers are my go to - everything else I'll drink to try but thats about it.

Only time i drank crownies was when there were a bunch of leftovers at home

Imported cheap lager is the lowest of the low. Corona, Stella, Peroni, etc can all f**k off.

Yes. Agree completely. Oh look im drinking a european beer, who cares that it's shithouse. Peroni especially smells foul.

And of course alot of overseas beers shit on VB. But then there is Coopers, James Squire, Little Cretures, 4 Pines and a whole lot of other decent craft beers that have popped up.

I tend to stick to Coopers Pale or Old if I'm at the pub, but love the different craft options around the place.

Also I drank TEDs through year 12, was sick of the by the time I hit 18 I think.

VB is genuinely not beer. Not being a snob either. Technically beer must contain hops. VB doesn't

james boag is the only aussie one i like

contains pride of ringwood hops..

 

[adamkungl]

Seems to have hops..

Just like in Thomas Aitken’s day, Victoria Bitter contains:

The choicest Australian pale malt to create that refreshing, thirst quenching taste.The brewery’s own special yeast, a very robust lager yeast that ensures the brew moves along at a rattling pace
Iconic ‘Pride of Ringwood’ hops, grown in Victoria and Tasmania. First developed in the 1950s and have been used in Victoria Bitter ever since.
What it doesn’t contain is any preservatives, ensuring that your VB is just as the brewers intended.


THE FLAVOUR
Victoria Bitter is fermented between 18-18.5°C, which is very warm for lager. Put simply, the higher the temperature, the quicker the fermentation as the yeast multiply and devour the sugars, turning them into alcohol. Why do this? A warm, fast ferment results in a beer with more flavour. If you want bland, flavourless beer, you better look elsewhere.

You’ll find Victoria Bitter lives up to its name too. All of our hops are bittering hops, not flavour or aroma hops so when we say the big cold beer, we mean BIG.

Drink some James Squire Hop Thief then get back to us Abz. Probably my favorite beer.
