Had a few Crownies last night...and I haven't said that for a very long time. Networking drinks at a conference, and I was amazed how well they were going down to be honest.

It could have been the hot and windy weather, the unaccustomed tie, the post-presentation parched throat, the canapes (party pies) they were washing down, or a combination of all of those factors...but they really were going down a treat.

Edit: Don't judge me.

You are not alone Ken. I was at the cricket on Friday and got the taste for Hahn Superdry. When it is hot, the beer is free and you want a thirst quencher, these were going down easier than Kim Kardashian's knickers.

Judgment be fucked, I love my HB and craft beers but there are times when a commercial beer hits the spot. I was camping up at Cape York earlier this year and was rationed to 1 can of New per day for the last few days. If that wasnt some of the best beer I've drunk.... Time and a place for everything.

When I was at uni (Newcastle, New territory) I never bought New because I thought it tasted rough out of the can. And if I did have it in the can, I didn't drink the last 30 or so ml because they were the dregs. When at a pub though I'd drink it out of the schooner because I thought it tasted ok from the tap. I really didn't know wtf I was on about.

Next time -

Explain yourself

We took nothing but XXXX Gold and Tooheys new, oh and Bundy Rum of coarse on our recent Cape trip, 1 30Pack carton per day per person ration. Some of the best liquor ive consumed. Time and place for different beers.


** I still don't get why people f*&k around with portable keg set-ups for camping, or more likely Glamping...

They recently changed crownies to all grain and actual hop flowers. Could explain your surprise?

How many beers go into one man per day.
Much simpler than the old ' If a train leaves the station at 6.00pm travelling at 50 kph'..bla..bla..blah..

 

[Droopy Brew]

Understood.
Unfortunately what I didnt account for was the lack of purchase points beyond Weipa. I was hoping to restock while up there but at $120 a carton for XXXXGold I decided my liver and wallet could do with a break..

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Lots...and some times more of lots

 

[mofox1]

Lots...and some times more of lots

Makes beer more =--sence than it prrobleby shoild.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Especially after 30

 

[panspermian]

Looks like the Australian Navy has two aircraft carriers now but where are the aircraft?

 

[Tahoose]

If it's anything like the navy's helicopters that didn't fly over water I'll be amused.

 

[Red Baron]

Canberra and Adelaide are LHD's. The H is for Helicopter, and we've got plenty of those.

[panspermian]

I see them docked at Wooloomooloo but I don't see any helicopters or anything.
They are a replacement for the HMAS Tobruck.
Looking as useless as the F35 jets we ordered.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I've got a mate who's a navy seahawk pilot, flies plenty. Currently in the Arabian gulf.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

You generally dont see any of our armed forces vehicles.. I guess its not something that needs to be seen, unlike other countries B)

 

[Red Baron]

The choppers will turn up if needed. Can you imagine the outcry from the local residents of Woolloomooloo, Rose Bay and the like if there were 10 very loud helicopters flying all day and night off there???

Malcolm Turnbull's private phone would be ringing off the hook!

Very true Stu- we live in a lucky country.
