yea last week you could do an onling market reserach thing and they would send you a six pack. i almost got sucked in.
A bit off topic but Fosters have grown in my estimation over the last few years, they seem to be pulling ahead of Lion Nathan in brands, choice and distribution. A couple of months ago I went to the Caloundra RSL which is a fairly major sized club and they are entirely Fosters - imagine a QLD club with no XXXX . They have a huge range on tap from Guinness to Carlsberg to Stella to VB etc. I reckon Lion would be really hard pressed to provide a range of beers to all tastes if they were to have an exclusive deal on a club. XXXX heavy and light, Tooheys New Old and TED, Heineken and Becks (not that you see it any more) a couple of the Hahn lines and that would be about it.
Hats off to Fosters for constantly introducing beers aimed at certain segments of the market, we home brewers can sneer but it's a far cry from thirty years ago when there were only two types of pubs in Queensland - Red pubs and Blue pubs, and in each there was only one beer on tap, XXXX or Carlton, take it or leave it.
