Buncha old people driving around the countryside, half cut on homebrew, no ideas, holding up traffic. I wondered what the grey army did when they got sick of falling off roofs.

Remember Swan Dry? mate bought it home once, sent him back to the pub with it. Was like drinking water that dried up your mouth, how it got called beer is anyones guess. Carlton Cold, makes alcoholics vomit does that shit. Like drinking frothy bath water your little sister has pissed in...

Maybe ive been dudded, the 473ml ones are $80.00 a slab.

There was talk of adding Thiamin to beer in the UK, Im sure its added somewhere but I cant remember, maybe its here. Anyway is there a way of adding vitamins to beer without affecting the taste? Does anyone add anything like vitamins to their brew? <_< Found this on the net, the whole thing...

This is a great drop, Icy cold it cant be beaten for a commercial beer. I love the bottles and was upset when they went from porcelin swing lids to plastic ones. Anyway a case of 24 x 355ml swinglids is about $60.00, thats $22.00 more than a slab of normal 375ml stubbies. So a mouthful short x...

Hmm so I drunk buckets of the stuff. Blind for years, ilke all good aussie boys between 18-30. Now im older and I dont get blind anymore. It hurts too much. A few on a hot day and two after work is about the limit nowdays. With the price of piss rapidly climbing to $50.00 a slab, its time to...
