They boast that it's so pure they guarantee you won't get a hangover. My old man and I decided to test that and drink half a case each one night. They're right - not a hint of a hangover.

I'm actually on the Carlton Draught at the moment. The main reason being I'm on a lads trip to the Cox Plate and we're trying to win 100k.

And I don't need to explain that I aint running if we get a chance. We've already the nominated youngest, fittest, non-drinker to run for us.

Bugger the beer, drink port!

**Jarro** · 5th October 2008 07:31 AM

yeah but Port isn't something you can drink a lot of in one hit ...

... especially if you have light coloured carpet in your home

I've had a couple this evening, and like the last time I tried one of these lime infused beers, it just doesn't do it for me. It's too sickly for my liking.

Now to try the Platinum Blonde.

Try the normal Carlton Dry then

I've been enjoying the Cascade Green for the Friday staffies.

Not very interested in its' environmental credentials - but it is a nice lager.

**Scottt** · 12th October 2008 09:48 AM

True that Bruce. Great brew.

**AndyP** · 12th October 2008 07:38 PM

I'm drinking the Platinum Blonde now. I'm no expert, but it has a Stella sort of taste to it. Meh!

**PeteyD** · 12th October 2008 08:47 PM

Byron Bay premium ale. not too bad at all

**Matt 3 Jab** · 17th October 2008 03:56 PM

ive said it once, i'll say it again.

Barefoot Radler, sooooo good!!! Its easy to drink, cheap and doesnt bloat you up. And no preservatives, another bonus!

**Grunt** · 12th November 2008 02:49 PM

Enjoying a few Blue Tongue Ginger Beers this afternoon. Nice Drop.

Only got to the second one and I hear the dog going nuts. She has a mother of all Blue tongues lined up. I have successfully transferred the Blue Tongue to the Front yard. Maybe it was looking for a drink.

Hey Grunt, milk and ginger beer (50/50) w/- ice is very refreshing on a hot day. Its a real surprise once you try it. Was a specialty of Cairns Golf Club in the 70's.

**adlo** · 12th November 2008 09:25 PM

Matso's ginger beer is an excellent beer from Broome.

A great drink is Tuaca, Ginger Beer and fresh lime over ice.

**AndyP** · 12th November 2008 09:31 PM

I actually had a few more different types of beer while in the NT, but I started to think that any beer tasted good up there, as you developed a thirst for it.

Anywho, Coopers Sparkling Ale went down really well. I finished off a 6 pack in one sit, which is more than the usual these days.

I also had James Squire Amber and Golden Ale. Mmmmm, yummy. I've confirmed this since I have returned.

**adlo** · 12th November 2008 09:36 PM

Top call, Squires Golden and Amber are 2 of the best going around. Awesome on tap.

Nice work Andy - one of my all time favourite beers - and high alcohol content too - not far off 6% if I recall correctly

I drink most beers except those made in SA. Still have nightmares about the beer shortage 30 years ago.

**Jarro** · 13th November 2008 09:16 AM

Hey Peter_rs ... you drunk those Schoferhoffers yet ??

**peter_rs** · 13th November 2008 09:19 AM

**Jarro** · 13th November 2008 09:21 AM

James Squire's are some of the nicest beers ever made.
Loving the Coopers Pale ale today.

Razaar, Coopers is made in SA, but it has to be an exception to the rule. THe others are crap yes.

For those that like the Little Creatures Pale Ale, the Bright Ale is almost as good. Great with Asian food or with no food. Lovely stuff.
