Queensland Beer

**Aussiephil** · 23rd November 2006, 08:46 AM

The presidents of Cascade (Tasmania), Tooheys (New South Wales), XXXX(Tasmania), Tooheys (Queensland) and ity w:st="on">Carlton (Victoria) were at an international beer conference.
They decide to all go to lunch together and the waitress asks what they want to drink.

The president of Tooheys says without hesitation "I'll have a Tooheys New."

The president of Cascade smiles and says "I'll have a Cascade Draught, brewed from pure mountain water!"

The ity w:st="on">Carlton president proudly says "I'll have a ity w:st="on">Carlton, the King of Beers!"

The bloke from XXXX glances at his lunch mates and says, "I'll have a Pepsi."

The others look at him like he has sprouted a new head.
He just shrugs and says, "Well if you blokes aren't drinking beer, then neither will I."

See, people will use any excuse not to drink XXXX

**MurrayD99** · 23rd November 2006, 08:55 AM

You can't buy New here.... Get it on Qantas; get it at The Oaks... but not anywhere in this fair land. Is that a conspiracy? OK, I'll drink cold XXXX if pushed, not too hard.

**bennylaird** · 23rd November 2006, 09:03 AM

Suppose the Barmy Army will be crying in their XXXX today?

Well won't water it down any more than it already is.

**Bob38S** · 24th November 2006, 10:41 AM

Unfortunately - most beers today are are b@gg***d by the watering down to make so called light beer as some sort of tokenism that you can drink light beer and still do things that any sane person wouldn't -- like driving.

That whole sorry issue aside - light beer could best be summed up by ....

Destroys the full taste

Have a few and you'll do the bed to the small room walk all night

If you sent a sample away for analysis - I'm sure the reply would be

"...this horse is unfit for work"

Hi Popawisky, as I recall Bilimba was brewed in Toowoomba by Carlton and XXX was brewed there also, by Castlemain. As I recall, someone will tell me if I am wrong.
You would have been drinking that in the 70's I think.

Regards Peter

Emu bitter was proberly the worst Aus beer I ever had, drank it in port hedland one afternoon as there was nothing else available they forgot to take the feathers off the emu :eek: , definately the worst headace, was told later that they put arsnic in it as a preservitive for the far north. and that S.A. beer southeck (not sure of the spelling) runs a good second.

The best name for a brew was for a small brewery in melbourne: PI55
They put in their company name and someone in ASIC asked the general counsel of ASIC whether they could refuse to register it. I am glad to say that his opinion was that they could not refuse the registration.
