Where is everyone (I blame Hoggs)

[Guest Richzx6r]

One been that does give you hairs on your eyeballs is Zulu beer....had that in 1998 on my 13th birthday that followed by amarula

Anyone remember Harp lager? Horrible brew.

 

The ads were good though

Stays sharp till the bottom of the glass

Translate to, will be flat before you finish.

 

Seem to remember it was usually flat before you started! Drank a lot of it in my teens cos it was cheap.

I went to Australia last year and found this. Anyone remember the old ad's? Australians wouldn't give a.........

 

 

I bought a crate of this stuff to have on a night when I was there, wasn't bad. Alcohol was bloody expensive too!

 

[skyrider]

there is a shop called booths not far down the road and they sell all the weird and wonderful named beers like wyre piddle and hob goblin

[S-Westerly]

4X also do a craft beer which is pretty good. These days like most places in Oz there are (or where pre Covid) lots of micro-breweries and many of them make good beer.

You can get Hobgoblin in my local supermarkets. Not a bad beer.

Very hard to get a fosters over there though!

Hob Goblin is truly delicious

The standard Ruby ale is superb, but if you like something with more of a bite, try King Goblin - it f*ckin awesome

 

 

One of the things high on the agenda once all this bollox is over is taking a trip to the Wychwood brewery in the Camper van.

[S-Westerly]

Yeah, the Aussies might be daft but not by that much!

[rennie]

I can't drink beer! It doesn't agree with me!

I'll drink lager in The Pub but I don't really like it

I like dry, cloudy cider or snakebite!

[Mr Fro]

Hobgoblin is quite good.

No.1 favourite is Riggwelter.

Saying that, I've got a few Nelsons in the fridge for BBQ time.

[Guest Richzx6r]

I'm currently on the famous grouse and coke though

[Hoggs]

I see this has mainly turned to drinking. . I do tend to have that effect on people

So you are the one driving me to drink....I thought it was my missus

[S-Westerly]

I think it's the lockdown driving us to drink.

[Hoggs]

you can blame me for whatever you like in this thread

*awaits the carnage*

Definitely the Corona virus.....

[S-Westerly]

I think my thumb would cramp up the list would be sooo long!

Well I have started and gone in with the big one

[S-Westerly]

That's why she was missing in action. She was in Wuhan eating bat burgers.

[Hoggs]

Did I skim past seeing your wife is in the hospital? hope she's ok mate and wishing speedy recovery

[S-Westerly]

Yeah she is but looks as if she's finally starting to come back to the real world.

Hoggs killed Bambi - it’s the truth,

I got into Australian table wines a few years back... I found these notes i'd kept on the wines I tried

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

'Black stump Bordeaux' is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good 'Sydney Syrup' can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

'Chateau Bleu', too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

'Old Smokey, 1968' has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thouroughly recommends a 1970 'Coq du Rod Laver', which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is 'Perth Pink'. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is 'Melbourne Old-and-Yellow', which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of 'Chateau Chunder', which is an Appalachian controle, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a 'Hobart Muddy', and a prize winning 'Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga', which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

That's actually true, then ate him with buttery mash, a red wine sauce and mushrooms
