Well, to quote the Fosters company website;

"Victoria Bitter is Australia's favourite beer. Australians enjoy more
than 400 million litres of the top-selling brew each year."

By 20 million men, women and children! Splappy would be hard pressed to
keep up. I guess you could say that VB's popular here.?

Well, I'll tell you what. The first time (and sadly, the last time) I ever
had a boags was from a gourmet store (which closed soon after) near my
house. Now, I like it when beers taste "clean"; that is, the underlying
taste behind the alcohol is either nonexistant, or very refreshing. Upon
tasting a Boags, I was struck by how much like pure, clean springwater that
taste was. I was in heaven.

Now of course I can't find it anywhere in the states. Probably for the
best; that lone bottle cost me about $5 USD!

I'm also fond of Banks, from Barbados. A delicious lager.

Yeah, I think the Tassie water has a lot to do with that.

Ah yes, Banks beer. I remember it well from my two-week vacation in Barbados
many a year ago. Pretty good beer and very reasonably priced. My brothers
and I would go through a case or so a night after scuba diving all day.

Barbados also produces some of the best rum made - Mount Gay.

Local internet service providers may consider blocking an American

A mysterious figure calling himself "Bertie the Bunyip" has upset local
