The reason that Australians drink their beer ice cold is because it's shite and you can't taste it when it's almost a frozen block of lager! 

I used to like a can of Fosters, preferred it to most of the other mainstream brands.

My absolute favourite used to be Carlsberg Special, I can't remember why

Nothing to do with the 9% strength I’m sure.     My mates Dad used to drink a few Tenants Extra (also 9%) after a day at work, and fall asleep on the sofa as a nightly ritual. He was a roofer so not ideal.

SWMBO used to have the occasional Special Brew when she visited her sister. My eldest called it fizzy whiskey.

Makes a change for the septic tanks though. Their beer has usually been made from what they have carefully extracted from the bladders of countless gnats. 

If Carlsberg made beer in the U.S. it would be renamed Girlsberg. 

Yes, it seems the US are finally developing some taste in beer and shunning the bud / coors / michelob p*ss.

The Australians are a lost cause. Which is why when my mate came over from Aus for a 24h radio contest earlier this year, in his enthusiasm, he got through a polypin of Exmoor Beast on the first evening then slept through the rest of the weekend. It was jet lag, apparently.

You could always tell the Brits who'd just got off the plane in the pubs around Kings Cross in Sydney as they'd be the only ones drinking Fosters. 

As well as the lily white or burnt skin of course!

I decided it would be rude not to try a few but that did put me in a bit of a muddle.

And you're anything but rude

That's the trouble with the non-fizzy stuff - you can drink gallons of it, then suddenly realise that you're paralysed from the waist down.  So I've heard, anyway

My brother's local used to have Rekordelig on tap, but rather than being the usual squash flavours, it was the unpolluted variety (with the fruity stuff as an add in for those of a certain disposition) and you could drink four/five pints of that before the seal broke, but that was usually the point when you discovered that someone had stolen your legs

The chilled fizzy stuff has a place in life.  Hard to beat on a hot day.  On a hot day, I'm also partial to a pint of fizzy apple juice

[Rangie]

On a really hot day I love an ice cold Guinness.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

If I have lager I always go for the 5% ABV products like San Miguel.

The 'pissy' 3-3.5% stuff is a waste of time.

In long gone days we used to make our own moonshine, which was evil.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Speaking of moonshine. When I was 17 I was a very nervous best man at my mates shotgun wedding.
Was up half the night trying to write a speach, which the grooms brother tore up and threw away because he thought it would be funny.
I was in a state of sheer panic then, so the grooms boss made me drink a large glass of Poteen to calm me down !
Apparently I did more or less what I was supposed to do, but to this day I have no memory of the events whatsoever.
