wow, that's impressive...i didn't think anyone outside of canada would know about our beer...i think it is better than kokanee, but that is just my opinion.

Yeah a customer of mine gave me a 6 pack a while back and it tastes fucking great. i'd love to taste it in a can but you can only get the bottles out here. Really nice beer

but we always love your opinions along with your assets ..

I agree about the cold thing. I hate warm beer. I just don't like how beer companies market some beer as the coldest tasting beer. It's not gonna taste that cold if I have a case sitting underneath my desk at work

(note to self: buy beer fridge for work)

note to self: visit aussie bar.


i try and spend at least 20 mins a day talking about beer....and much more than that drinking it.

and great quote hahah









ya know, I used to love Canadian when the brewery in Regina was still open. Once we started getting it from Edmonton, something in it changed, maybe that nasty North Saskatchewan River water.

it's funny...in canada if you got beer in a can, we'd say, "i'd love to taste it in a bottle"

piss on talking about beer lets just drink it

Oh I know what you mean. It's only as cold as the person who serves it wants it to be!

Note to self; next year, order fewer cards

I guess you always want what you cant have!

Do you guys get any aussie beer in Canada or the States aside from Fosters?

I gave a seventeen year old that works with us on occasion a backhander today when he started to explain this new way of downing beers its called a funnel he say

Surprisingly no, since Australia makes some damned good beer from what I have read. I am gonna make some Cooper's home brew soon though.
What are some other good and/or pupular Aussie beers I might see. Maybe I have just overlooked them.

In BC, in my local store we do get some Aussie beers, which I have not tried yet.
Bushman's Lager
Coopers Sparkling Ale
Victoria Bitter
I'll pick some up, any one in particular? Or all?

Are you going to pick some up on the way over to my house?

That is a shock!

We make an array of great beer. Even our cheap beer is pretty darn good. Coopers is a great beer. Which one are you making sparkling ale or pale ale?

The funny thing about beer in this country is that each state seems to drink differently. Coopers is massive in South Australia but considered boutique everywhere else. VB is big in Melbourne and Sydney but XXXX beer is alot more popular in Brisbane. Perth have their Emu Lager, which no one, no one else drinks!

Check out the link and it'll give you a good selection of beers made in every state...

Mmmmmmmm..... Beeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



I have never even heard of Bushman's Lager

Coopers once again is great. Sparkling is 5.8% alc. vol unless they change it for foreign markets. It'll get u fucked up. VB is a great bitter, more an everyday beer but still great!

I am on my way, sugar!

Light the grill, let's do this right!

Well, I think I'll just have to get them all! Thanks for the input, bondi.


Independant Breweries, Laverton, Australia

Sounds like a good night in

The grill is fired up and so am I!

No picking up in my thread

When it comes to great tasting beer, you can't beat New England. For an award- winning White beer, try Allagash White. Then try Shipyard Export, brewed and bottled about a mile from where I live and shipped all over the country. I've tried a lot of different beers but when I drink a draf,it's almost always a Shipyard.

knock, knock...



sorry, with all the drinking that goes on here, i just assumed it was a bar...my bad.

I'll give it a go if I make my way over



Thats cool... I just wanted to post someh=thing really and I was too drunk to think of anything esle

Because I think this is so damn good....

You Are, I Am.

You are like a French Fry when I should be eating fruit
A simple pair of shorts when I should be in a suit
You are mediocrity when all I seek is fame
And when I want to simmer, you are a bright blue flame.

You are the Persian rug when I’m out on the tiles
You are just an evil smirk when all I want is smiles
You talk about the future when it’s all in my past
You want to roll the credits when I want things to last.

You are my iron foot when I’m trying not to speed
Here I am a full grown tree when you are just the seed
You’re the scent of cigarette when I’m struggling to breathe
And whilst my name is Adam you will never be my Eve.
-bondi

Not sure yet. I tend to like pale ales. What's the sparkling ale like.


I think those beers would suck! In fact the only way my opionion might be swayed was if you were to send me a 6...no 12 pack of each for me to try.


Have I read that before?

I'll send a twelve pack to your local supermarket. Just give them a twenty and ask for it.

If only they sold beer in supermarkets here

It's lighter and a heap more potent!

Not sure, I was hella bored last night and I really like that one... So fuck it, i posted it (again?)




Wouldn't the world be a sweet place!

Better get my arse to work....

(ok i just wanted to get my thread to the top)

bondi...you wrote that? wow! you go, renaissance man.

and look, your thread is back on top. don't say i don't do anything for you.

I just sent your thread to the bottom.

i said I thought I read it before, I didn't say stop


that'll learn em!

Yes ma'am I did. I used to write alot more than I do now, I just do it when the mood strikes me or when something significant happens in my life.

I have a few scattered through my 411 if you wanna check it out, I'll post one here and there

For the beer nerds amongst us...

FOSTERS!

well who would have ever thunk it ????

so prior to this, they brewed an Australian beer in Canada for the US market?

I was as stunned as you! haha

I dare say the 6 million cases we sell in the us is about 3 million times what we sell in Australia

I don't know if I posted this one before but it's a personal favourite...

SHORT OF EXPECTATION
All I’ll leave is memories,
Images of ennui.
A one point five out of three
Give it life and let it breathe.

The more I try the more I fail
Eyes bloodshot, my skin is pale,
I need a fix so make the sale.
A pinnacle, a height, a snail.

Turn around and look right back
Will you take a look at that?
Somehow I turned more white to black.
No hints, no tricks, no magic act.
-bondi

its a hit

wow, bondi. that one is something. i am gonna have to go through and check more out.

You damn well better

and hurry

ok, so i am on page 30 of 68...i feel like i am cramming for bondi finals

If you pass.. you actually get a night with bondi

I dont know where the poems are... i can barely remember what I did this morning and it's only 8:30am

sweet...pgs 31-68 it is, then...

don't worry your pretty little head...i'll look for them

happy reading... also, its up to page 69 now (how apt) so you better start reading!

Well, bond-eye...i was totally pronouncing you wrong. It was in my head that I was mispronouncing it, but I am sure you felt something amiss in the way I was speaking to you, and for that I apologize.

Update: I found 3 from pages 31-40...including a completely lovely one on page 32. You know what would be swell??? A page "jump to".

Meanwhile...this made me spit beer onto my keyboard today...
"In other news, it was so hot in Sydney today, I was sweating like a blind lesbian at a fish market"

Haha that line is killer... I don't even remember saying it but it's pretty funny. I have heaps of those types of jokes. The, "I'm so **** it's like.... etc"

It was so hot in Sydney today I was sweating like a pedophile at a Wiggles concert!

ONE WAY
Sometimes I am ugly
Sometimes I am hot
Sometimes I’m poetic
Sometimes I am not
Sometimes I will lead
Sometimes I will follow
Sometimes I am nice
Sometimes it is hollow.

Sometimes I will flutter
Sometimes I will soar
Sometimes I’m electric
Sometimes I’m a bore
Sometimes I’m ambivalent
Although I’m not sure.
-bondi

wiggles concert...creepy...but why am I laughing so hard?


this is the one that struck me...

SURROUNDED

I am the cheese in a room full of rats
I am the rat in a cupboard full of cats,
I am the vase that’s right on the edge
I am alive but everyone’s dead.

I am the plankton riding a wave
I am rock’n’roll but the world is a rave,
I am the voice but you are all deaf
I’m on the right but you have all left.


I am the flower that you want to kill
I was once alive but you never will,
I am alone with you in the crowd
I whisper it softly that people allowed.

I am a kiss surrounded by hate
I am the hook all covered in bait,
I play by the rules when nothing is fair
I am in love so I don’t really care.

-bondi

Yeah I have a few great one liners!

Also, I did scroll through and see which one it was that grabbed your attention... I do know what you mean by a "jump to" feature... had to scroll through alotta shit to find it! haha

did you guys catch lettermens 10 reasons why Homer Simpson should be president ?

...that was hilarious!
