The beer thread

[stickshifter]

Aussie rules is real football. The contact one with no protective gear and no play acting

Soccer, rugby, and Aussie rules are all great games - I was just taking the piss. But I wish these guys were acting all the time:

At uni I played a game where we were imbibing the piss just before the game started. And at the conclusion , to prove his manliness our captain (a now well respected GP)
stood on a table and in front to the law students drank a stein of his own piss!
I have never run the beer mile but it would be an interesting addition to the Tetbury Woolsack Race I completed in 2011.

Nobody in Australia drinks Fosters!
It was the Cascade Blue variety at uni.
It's brewed 15 minutes from home
The students still drink it!
But not urine. They've been educated that it is a survival myth.

That would be the oldest brewery in Australia and about to hit a double century

A millimeter is, like, a thousand meters right? And a thousand meters is about the length of a football field - yeah? And we would be talking real football, not the round ball game.

After all the unpopular posts I've made on this forum, and my first dislike comes in response to a comment about football

The more all you Aussies deny your affinity for Fosters, the more the rest of us will keep bringing it up. That's what friends are for

The funny thing is I don’t think you can even buy it in Australia anymore

I assume you are from the US which just negates any comments you make about beer.

If you get a chance to get some, I prescribe this to all my patients! And I'm not even a doctor1 LOL

I have never seen it in a Tasmanian bottleshop.
I can't account for the behaviour of mainlanders Often atrocious I might add.

Apparently you are not familiar with the "hipster" - the insufferable American male who - if you ask him - is an expert on all things related to beer, coffee, and other things that you used to enjoy until you heard him prattle on about them for 20 minutes. Dave, meet Angus the hipster, Angus, meet Dave.

My apologies to any and all good-natured hipsters, especially those who have ordered a Grenadier. Just don't ruin it for the rest of us

They seem to be dying out now. No longer "on trend".
However , mullets are back...with associated behavioural characteristics....
