Imported Beer-kiss My Ass!

It has come to my attention that my favorite imported beers

ARE NOT IMPORTED AT ALL !!!!

so if you're out to dinner or at the bottlo and it reads imported beer and of course it costs more
ITS ALL BULLSHIT-A SHALLOW COPY BREWED AND BOTTLED IN AUST
what about cutting the price down -the freight costs
thats not as bad as the fact that it DONT TASTE THE SAME

I am appalled, its an abomination in the eyes of god, its a slap in the face
I will have to buy more local beers on principle
STELLA
HEINEKIN
EVEN TIGER BEER

brewed over here

damn you greedmongers, another of lifes pleasures corrupted

wonder if the belgian beer house actually gets proper stella or the cheap australian version......... makes me wonder!

u will find most imported alcohols are produced under licence here in aust.

Lion Nathan has a huge market share in many brands. look at most spirits aswell u will be surprised how many are 'bottled in aust" or brewed under licence.

generally speaking u are only paying premium price for the name. as in the country of origin it would probably be cheap beer.

look at coopers pale. we pay 34-38 a carton yet in melb a couple yrs ago i paid 47$ because it wasnt local market beer.

id prefer a good pale or Hertitage over a heini anyday...

sorry to dash ur hopes jase.. all u can do now is fire bomb their holding locations and ruin the dream for others

I am surprised about Stella.



But not Heinekin... every country I have travelled thru has a Heinekin factory in it or in a nebouring cheaper-to-produce-in country!

the taste of stella now was what made me notice

its gone floral and fragrant

Coopers Pale or Coopers Heritage... the rest can get f*cked...

... omg i'm turning into such a south aussie haha

i dont like beer anyway so i cant comment...........

pay for imported beers, and get gyped everytime - expensive, not imported, as well as only 330mls.

paleys shit all over every other beer anywho......

gotta love the pale

no other beer will satisfy you like a pale stub (hmm maybe in long neck form also?)

oh so tru



I only drink pale. Its made HERE for US! Nothing suits me more.

Im a pale lover too At times weve had our problems such as nasty nasty hangovers but i always go running back for more

i hate beer too so bring on the jacks for me anyday

Long live Coopers Pale Ale and Tooheys Extra Dry .

coopers, heritage, pale ale and vintage.

shit yeah

MMMMM did some one say beer?

I drink Crown larger and Pure blondes, they are fairly pricy its because of the way they are processed but bottles in australia

yeah i could go some liquid vegemite Ana good old crownies

ive got plenty here!! actually i think i do unless my dad has drank all my beer i wont be happy

if only!

i ran out of beer the other night, no more till wednesday.

drink water..its better for u

yes... im the kind of person who is a health nut...

just ask my hot chip lunch

yes your a heaps health freak...

anyways bak on topic

mmmmmm beeerrrrrrrr

overdose and beer makes Robbie go something something...

you certainly are a something something...

mmmmm beer i really could go for a nice cold bottle of...
*quickly grabs wallet and runs across the road to the bottleo cos she cant stand the thought of not having a beer in her hand*

CRAZY?

yeah thats the one!

i havent tried pure blonde yet what am i missing?

its probably a good thing that things like bin tang & tiger beer are produced here under licence. I mean who would want imported BAli Belly lol

dont mind a bit of Asahi or stella if i can afford it.

Pale Ale is my beer tho

....AH YES! BEER, THE BIG CANOE and ATTRACTIVE YEAST INFECTIONS, MORE CARLTON COLD PLEASE!

Pure Blond is actually a very nice beer. its a low calorie beer, but still has a nice taste to it. had some last night!

And i have to confess, Im a Pale Ale Boy, the bottles are great, but even they do not compare to nice fresh Pale Ale straight off Tap!

its low carb- so you can drink and drink and almost feel healhy. its not actually that bad- strangely fruity??? maybe i have bizarre taste buds

Sparkling i reckns shits on Pale even tho i love Pale. I also love Coldies, Draught, VB, James Bougs, Cascade pretty much anything Austarlian. Imported beers suck ass really. Nothing good comes from over seas besides Coronas


Harley

Brian when your over my place next ill give you a bottle to try.

I'm a pale girl too!

you can add becks that list too!!

total rip of seeing its brewed here now , wheres the price reduction you wankers

I'm for Asahi- mmm thats all I drank in Japan

Pale and TEDs are good for me too, its all a bit habitual now... (I was never a beer person)

Not all places sell the locally brewed SHITE... I go to dan murphies and they have a choice between the brewed in australia ones, or the fully imported ones... i always go for the fully imported, the flavour is undenyabley better!

so are you saying dan murphies stock 2 of the same brew -one set imported and one set local

carlsberg as well.

i enjoy millers genuine draft these days. coldfiltered 4 times for extra smoothness.

yeah there are a few bottleshops still around that still import the real stuff.

WORD to that

you might want to check the best before dates on the cartons.. having worked in bottleshops for quite a few years i can say that unless the manager has a REALLY good contact that can import reasonable quantities, the stock is probably quite old!!!

FYI, the "local" stuff isn't usually brewed here... it's brewed o/s and shipped here in large vats where it's carbonated and bottled!! same process they've been using for spirits for almost a decade (without the carbonation obviously)

its brewed here or somewhere apart from the original factory
you can taste it and the whole colour is different?
indeed it is shifty
Wonder what dodgy country its made in then?

Yes they do... well they did on tuesday... had a carton of Becks for 44.90 and a carton of imported becks for 49.90...



Good point on the out of date stuff, i'll have to check next time!

And when it says on the bottle "brewed and bottled in Australia under licence by the carlton brewery" does that mean it's brewed overseas? cos that would be false advertising then...

Another vote for Millers Genuine Draft.
Im not usually a fan of pussy weak American beer but after a hot day at work nothing kills it like a Miller.

Asahi is still fully imported but in Japan or where ever they brew it they have different brews for exported beer.
I cant drink Stellas these days anyway, they are rubbish.
Was at the Belgium beer join in Perth on the weekend and had a few Hoegardens and what not, loving the taste of that lately.

There is also a brewery here called Little Creatures, they do a decent pale ale, nothing like Coopers but its not bad. They also have a brew called Rogers Ale, I know they sell it at the Lion and they might have it at the Belgium there as they have it here but its really worth trying, i love it.
At the little creatures Brewery they have a bar/pub attached to it and they still charge you $7.50 for a brew! Crazy prices!!!!

i also work in a bottleshop i know how often overseas beer goes out of date.




millers is a great beer. people bash american beer like millers without actually tasting it. my boss tried one for the first time the other day!!! loved it and bought a carton.

i can also say that coke is now the australian distributor of millers so the stock will be fresher as more stock is being imported at a cheaper price for both coke and consumers. BWS has a deal with coke to sell millers for a special price of $40 every 3 or so weeks.

i just drank 2 after work and im now going to bed.

yeah i cranked a 6er tonight, it was $18 so cant complain too much
I heard about the Coke deal as well, hope they crank some specials over here.
Most pubs and clubs are starting to stock it now as well.

its good. i was hoping north american beer would become popular eventually. but they need to start importing more canadian beer as it shits all over american beer.

i know dan murphys and a few other places sell Kokanee which is from vancouver, british columbia but its $77 a carton when it should be along the same price as millers really.

i miss the beer over there. molsen,labatts,alexander kieths, sleemans, fort garry, moosehead, bigrock

"local brew" is brewed here. I have 3 22ltr kegs bubbling away at my house

I was at a pub the other week for my girlfriends 21st and checking out what grog they had. There was a beer can member what it was called but had a price tag for $18. I thought i gota try this as it must be good for that price then i started reading about the beer and it gets served hot!! Well stuff that im Aussie not Europeon i like my beer ice cold!!

Little Creature is the way to go and so is James Squire. I like to try craft brewers beer from over the country. When im in a bottleo i always try and get something different. Tho ive been disapointed sometimes, some off my beers are better!

if anyone brews on here a good helpfull site is

I do homebrew, haven't for a while as our keg thing got infected... apparently we washed it wrong and now we need a new one, so starting up again soon... We had it downpat too, got the Coopers Pale malt and used the yeast from a sparkling longneck! was very good! tasted like the real thing!

Fad bar sell a locally brewed honey beer called Bee Stings - they totally crap all over Beez Neez. Def worth trying & are only $5 a pint

The Cavan Pub thing on Nth Tce do their own Pale Ale, its not too bad and for $3 a pint its great value.
Im going to start a brew for myself but in Perth you can go to a place where you all their kettles and what not then brew it there, come back a few weeks later and can either bottle it or put it in 500mL cans yourself. Works out to be around $20 a carton.

Beez Neez i tried 2 weeks ago and is probably my beer of the moment. love the taste and after taste. mmm honey

Got this from another site

Coca Cola to sell beer.....

http://www.theage.com.au/news/BUSINESS/Bee...8390276222.html

Used to be a very keen beer drinker but no longer endulge. I have found that living a more pure life style suits my health a lot better both mentally and physically.

Haven't sat down and had a proper beer drinking session in 5 months now and feel so much better for it.

Water and exercise is the key!!! but the argument that the beer does taste different now is true. I confronted Heineken about it when it 1st happened and i got the usual response that it is tried and tested and passed by the heineken family brewers... ra ra ra ra ra!!!

Anyhow doesn't bother me anymore cause i don't drink it. I found i was self medicating in my life too much and all it was doing was messing it up. Now days being healthy has given me a whole new perspective on life!!!

Enjoy!!!

Put some concrete in your wheetbix and harden the frak up!!

BWAAAHHHAHAHAHA!! ROFL!
that one is going in the volt!

yes young wisdom child!!! or

mmmmmm

ahh the golden brew !!!!!!!!!!!!

got a keg of heiny waiting to go

ooh a heinikeg... They are good... Just ask marchE! i got 3 kegs for my German Evening! it's gonna be awesome!

Cascade First Harvest is out. Only released once a year. Get your hands on it. Its a top drop!

Are they doing something like a Coopers Vintage?

All praise the allmighty Coopers.

The power of pale compells you! The power of pale compells you! The power of pale compells you!

Cascade have been doing it now for a while, Its a preety nice drop and at $14 a 4 pack or $80 a carton it better well be! Coopers vintage is a top drop aswell.

i dont know if this points been raised but all beers that state they have been bottled overseas are, they're just distributed by Australian companies

nah we are talking about " distilled under licence in _______ aust"

not " bottled in"

coopers heritage is my fav, closely followed by pale

GAGE from WA is good too.

I got 3 bottles of heritage sitting in my bar fridge - must check the dates lol!
