Fosters Lager -v- Crown Lager

[brendanos]

i hate crownies.... but its funny how i always end up with a carton from someone who thinks there buying me the top of the range beer.

and i say yea thanks mate (and think to myself, geez i cant even force that **** down)

Yes!! This has happened to me a few times, when people know that I brew/am a huge beer fan, they think they're doing me a favour. I do try, but struggle even to feign gratitute. What's harder is explaining to someone at a bar why you don't want them to buy you a beer "when they have crownies", and the subsequent questions like "well what's wrong with crownies?!"

I once got stuck shouting a round for 3 CUB reps. Naturally I got them 3 schooners of Tooheys New. They knew instantly, but they were smart enough to cop it sweet.

Hahaha love your work Gerard
