living in Oz in 93, I became a big fan of Carlton Cold (sold
in bottles only). I wasn't a fan of VB as it seemed to make
me puke, but maybe that was because it was cheap and I'd
drink about 10 scooners!!!!

The coldie phenomenon interests me no end. I can't believe
its popularity. I find it more refreshing to dring my 3 day
ols washing up water then a coldie. It saddens me that
people think that this is a quality beer. I don't know how
many times I've gone to a party where it is the only beer
in offer.
Have you tried Melbourne Bitter. I used to be a huge wrap
for VB in my Uni days but have since moved on to a more
sophisticated drop, plus there is something appealing about
the hideous colours of maroon and blue. I also like to
drink out of a a dark bottle. After all the traditional
beer brewing needs the dark bottle.
Hey what ever happened to Diamond Draft(sic). That beer
obviously wasn't geared to Aussies (Draught), plus it
really tasted like an apple cider.
Coldies are the best! Only Cascade Premium (in a green
bottle with a Tassie Tiger on the label) is better. Which
other beers from around the world do you like? I think
Danish beer (Carlsberg and Tuborg) are great. Swedish beer
sucks (Falcon, Pripps, ┼bro).
I'm sorry that my choice of beer SADDENS you, beer girl.
Maybe you shouldn't take it to heart so much?.I can't get it
here in Canada anyway, so you don't have to get too
upset, although I've just asked a buddy , who happens to be
in Oz at the moment to bring me a couple back. I'll let you
know when I get them. Maybe you can say a payer or two for
my sanity?.
I bet my spelling SADDENS you too, hey? Actually, I tried
drinking the washing up water , like you suggested, and
although I still prefer a "coldie" it was definately better
than VB!

Coldies are popular here and to tell you the truth I reckon
it's easily the best of a bad bunch that CUB produces. If
you're from Canada then you'll know what crap beer is all
about - you call Molson Canadian beer? Although I'll hand it
to you, Sleeman's Honeybrown is not a bad drop at all.
On the subject of coldies, I returned from Oz a few months
ago and have not been able to find a supplier of Carlton
Cold in the UK. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Guys, Really?
Have you all lost the plot? Forget those overseas owned,
multi-national bottles of camels piss. If you are going to
down a real Australian beer you have to go for the last
remaining truely Australian owned national beer;
********* Coopers ************ They offer several brews to
cover all personal tastes, (I drink Pale myself), and best
of all they are still based in Adelaide, South Australia.
You can check them out at www.coopers.com.au where you'll
find their world agents; even in Canada! Ask for Coopers at
your local, and if they don't have any yet, ask them why
not, and then take your business elsewhere.
Do yourself a favour........
"Life's too short to drink crap beer" (Arthur Donga)
hmm!!! Coopers seems to keep cropping up so I'll give it a
try when I next get down in October. By the way,farm boy, I
couldn't really give a toss what you think of canadian beer
but that's the whole point! It doesn't matter what you like
or what anyone else likes. It doesn't make you a "cool
person" just cos you happen to like a certain type of beer
or a particular brand of ciggies! All this deep analysis
shit kind a cracks me up!. The bottom line is beer is beer.
They all tase a bit different but if they're ice cold the
difference is minimal. And anyway, after about 4 they all
taste just the same!!!
