so there ARE other aussie beers here besides fosters?! that means another new beer for me to try.
Foster's is NOT an Australian beer. It comes from Canada.
Well actually if you drink fosters anywhere but australia it is not an aussie beer, it is generally brewed in or near the country of consumption, SWMBO had her brother and neice over from england a couple of months ago and he and i had been talking previously about it he actually brought a 6 pack of fosters INTO australia, tasted nothing like the piss water that is fosters in aussie, was actually almost drinkable.
Coke is fairly cheap now since they are battling Pepsi for market share. Everything that needs to be trucked is going up. Diesel is out of sight and the cost has to be passed along. I know people that make their own Beer as a hobby, it may become a necessity.
Used to do the home brew, was actually brewing to kegs so i had it on tap instead of bottles, until the quack said "No more beer for a while" so decided to sell the setup, cheap good quality beer. Cost me about $40 or $45 for all ingredients, power for boiling etc, 1 1/2 hours of my time to make about 36 litres (2 18 litre kegs) and the best bit was SWMBO could never complain about the dead soldiers only one glass lol
