I live in Wynnum/Manly in Brisbane and like to drink locally. I can walk to any pub in the area which I love. What I don't love is the choice of bland XXXX, CUB and Toohey's beers on tap. The only one I'll drink is usually Tooheys Old. I can put up with that.
A couple of months ago, the Wynnum RSL started serving Fat Yak. So I started drinking there, until one day they stopped serving it. I asked why and it turns out it was just a special they had on that month, a one off special, that is.
Then I noticed the Manly hotel selling James Squire Pale Ale (I can't call it 150 lashes or whatever, makes me cringe). So I started drinking there. Then they stopped serving it. I asked why and they said it was their slowest selling keg (out of about fifteen or so kegs). They replaced it with XXXX Summer. :icon_vomit: They still have James Squire Golden, but that doesn't taste as good as it used to.
We have Celtic Corner Pub, but there is only so much Guinness and Kilkenny I can drink in this heat. All the other pubs that I know of serve only bland beers. I know about tap contracts and I know who owns these beers and all that, so I guess I'm just having a rant.
