Sounds like Crown Lager Ale with some Galaxy.

Sounds like another piss weak attempt by the Mega Brewers at making beer. Tried Tooheys Flag Ale the other day at one of the local pubs(I really don't know why) ...... and :icon_vomit: would have tipped it out if I brewed it.... nothing good to say.

Flag ale, wow, haven't had one of those since I had brown hair. I expect it's a brand name retention exercise like CUB do from time to time, although the last couple of CUB rebrews of Brisbane Bitter and Bulimba Gold Top were pretty authentic (I still remember them from the 70s). Might hunt up a six of the Flag if it's available round here.

Nice - another version of the $51 fizzy dishwater

Hipsters drink pabst blue ribbon in an attempt to be ironic.
Sorry, I mean "ironic".

OT.

PBR is fine when you drink it ice cold, on the back of a boat in the middle of a US summer, and only pay $18 a box for it, very hard to replicate those ideal conditions here.

Methinks the memories of your hair are better than your taste.

semi-related, here's a good interview with the new CUB marketing director: http://www.brewsnews.com.au/2014/05/radio-brews-news-puts-the-pod-into-podcast/

It's getting Crown Lager and other drinkers to try something a little different. Only good can come of this. Heads up from me :super:

Exactly Batz. Crownies has the high stigma attached to it of being the premium aussie beer. Hopefully it will capture the attention of this market.

I didnt know you where in marketing.

 

[bradsbrew]

I didnt know you where in marketing.

Cmon Stu, your a tradie. You should know the value of a carton of crownies over a standard carton. I just dont have the heart to tell people when they suprise me with a carton of crownies to show how happy they are. Crownies equal a happy client.

 

[slcmorro]

I'll try it. Can;t bash something you haven't tried before. You blokes... you...

I allways ask for Coopers Red. And the quality of the job increases accordingly.
