Pub With One Beer - On Fox Last Night

[Fents]

just checked and diwana dont have it. dont think you'll get a torrent as they specialise in Aust TV shows. Was worth a try though.

 

[tangent]

if anyone has managed to 'archive' it, can they PM us?

 

[facter]

might be one on diwana.org but you need an invite to join, i'll see if i can get you an invite

cheers fents, that'd be mighty kind of you.

I don't usually use the "H" word but jeez I hate that Lexi, I'm glad she's gone

 

[Maxt]

That whole episode was a beat up to roast Lexi. They had nothing else, and tried to make a show out of it.
I hope they realised that they have brewers watching and would rather see some beer making, rather than boring sods whining about each other.

 

[mikem108]

Looks like we may get a faint wiff of brewing in next weeks show

 

[gazz78]

Well I have to stand up for Lexi, I mean really what brewery sacks the only person who knows how to run it !!
I wouldn't be suprised if the "old brewery" will be kept for display only and they just sell keg beer.
And whats the deal with the locals and Marcus, did he p*ss in the vats before he left or something !!

 

[revdrjbob]

It was I!

I recall someone asking the question of 'How do you make a small fortune from a micro-brewery??? Start with a large one!!'
one small fortune coming up....the way its going so far

We hope for a 'Happy ending'

Was that the 'Rev' in the kilt at the Int Beer awards night??(in the back ground)

We finally got Fox hooked up but haven't got a TV Guide, when is this soap opera on?
Cheers

I was really looking forward to watching this show - but now I have black banned it. It is worse than a current affair or today tonight.

Fair dinkum I reckon if you gave 99% of AHB people 5 million bucks it could be turned into a gold mine. Buy a pub (possibly a cheap country one for a quarter of a mil) fit it out, offer excellent meals, make some beer, employ a good salesman to sell it.

Set it up as a tourist attraction (but not cheesy though). Research the local area and name your beers accordingly.

You would even have to brew it - you could employ a brewer and just consult with them. This guys should be flogged for this!

i loved scharers and would stop in for a couple of long necks of the lager and the bock whenever i went south - i work for a pay tv company and we recently had a friday drinks where they brought in supposed "scharers" - it was absolute shit, brewed at icb, a shadow of it's former glory - enough to indicate to me that one of my favourite beers was finished

Take the 5 million $$ and put it on a greyhound race, at least that way you only have to wait 33 seconds to know the result either way!
Don't think I will get a job at Macquarie Bank dishing out that type of advise
Cheers

Could I interest you in a tunnel?

 

[Gerard_M]

OK I watched it.
I notice that at the same time on another channel they are showing "Hogans Heros".
Next week I will watch that instead!
Cheers
Gerard

Gerard -don't worry, there are plenty of failed schemes like this that sink without a trace. Your advice would've got you a healthy bonus if you had managed to attract enough investors, regardless of the success.

 

[mikem108]

I hate them all now...

 

[gazz78]

If they had a decent business plan they surely would of trade marked the name :blink:
If Marcus was smart enough to see that flaw and exposed it then more power to him Love or hate the show the pure marketing from it is quite amazing, I know of at least 3-4 people who have now ordered boxes just to try it out ! I'm just not willing to spend $66 on a box myself.

 

[facter]

god i want to see this so badly, but i dont think i could handle it.

give me even $500,000 and i could set up a place that sounds like it would be bette than this shithole is sounding!
