That being said, a Vic Bitter or two can hit the spot.

James Boag's is pretty good stuff - not that I've had a great huge
amount of brews from down under, mind you.

Wow! A connoisseur. Yeah, I quite like a Boags on occasions.

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.

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

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

This mob (among others I'm sure) will sell you some and ship it to you,
but you'd better be prepared for some hefty P&H;

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

Haven't heard of that one.

Cheers,

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.

Amen. MG and Tonic is the quintessential summer drink.

A light-tasting lager with a kick about twice as strong as that damn
Elephant beer, or Tsingtao. But it has a very, very light bite to it. More
like a kiss :-)

No scuba diving that I know of in Venezuela...Barbados has decent scuba
diving plus caning if you break the law!

...how spoilers create negative lift

...how Budweiser is the best-selling beer in Australia
...how a non-existant section of TWA800 was the problem
...how Kapton is a conductor, not an insulator

how Budweiser is the best-selling beer in Australia

LOL!!!............as if.............

Well, to be fair, Fosters isn't much better.

Sure. But no one here drinks Fosters either. :-)

"Fosters, it's Australian for 'Here, you drink it.'"

That being said, a Vic Bitter or two can hit the spot.

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.?
