Do any of you remember Courage beer, Had a rooster as a symbol and tasted like Rooster piss.
West End is crap, its up there with xxxx and Tasmanian light ice.

Even tsing tao the Chinese "premium" beer is pretty tastless. With a grain bill which generally includes lots of rice and corn.Sun puts them all to shame, and it's China's most popular brand.
I find it more like drinking lawn clippings than sandBut extra dry is the worst beer out there. It’s like drinking sand.
View attachment 113626 This was just crap no hop taste just shit.
Worst recent beer I’ve had.
Saw it one the award and cheap at Also - not a real pale ale, kind of " nowhere" in flavour, and like a lot of NZ crafty beer it has that slightly off taste - I think they paid for the award( I'm sure someone's bank benefitted from it) - all in all its not up to the mark+ I'll stick to Young Henry's Newtowner for Aussie Pale Ale- cheersMost recent shocker was Aldi's "North of Nowhere Pale Ale". Thin, nothing, with an odd taste. A mate had bought it and was complaining as well, so I made up some hop tea and hop bombed the bottles. At least it smelt good after that.

equally southwark, i think from the same beer strike LOL, and emu bitter at the same time. our little gang called southwark 'vom-ark'. and westend. (so how do they make the mighty Coopers at the other end of the spectrum??)...I think it was "the great beer-strike of '78" here in the home of XXXX.... the highway south musta bin end-to-end semi's of cartoned beer! It came from everywhere.. brands I'd never heard of.. but the worst, undrinkable, was "Southwark" -from SA I think it was.
...the drop I found least offensive in those dire times was "KB", in a lil' keg-shaped stubbie.
That was back when each pub only sold one brand, and you could still smell a public bar three blocks away.... literally finding a pub by "following your nose"
You're correct they did make a decent drop, the beginning of the end was a product (I'm not going to call it beer) called "Red Barrel" lots of hype and advertising but just a mega swill, and once the campaign for real ale got under way it was doomed.As mentioned Watney's, which I believe was one of the first larger brewery's would most certainly have been producing a great beer to grow the way they did, unfortunately, as with many of the great brewery's, turnover became more important than taste.
if you want a spray on watneys red barrel, try this, youtube, monty python at the hollywood bowlYou're correct they did make a decent drop, the beginning of the end was a product (I'm not going to call it beer) called "Red Barrel" lots of hype and advertising but just a mega swill, and once the campaign for real ale got under way it was doomed.
