Buying some Fosters

[morethanworts]

It's my good friend's birthday today (he's 30-odd) so, seeing that I have little imagination and can't think of anything else, it will be beer again from me.

Unfortunately, he has very cheap and nasty tastes in beer and F#$t3r5 is his weapon of choice. It sort of feels wrong handing over money for it, seeing how much effort I put into seeking out good beer the rest of the time. We've sat in CAMRA awarded pubs with huge beer menus before, but there's always one Australian lager on each round.

Maybe we all have similar trips to the shop from time to time! I'm thinking of hiding it underneath some condoms and a porn mag in the basket.

I think you need to sit him down and have a VERY serious chat with him, explain the error of his ways. If he doesn't listen, dont talk to him any more :lol:

 

[morethanworts]

Ooh, we've tried!

I think my Dave Line book may have had a clone of Fosters... :hmm: Not sure. 2 pints of water, 20 minutes and a sample jar would have done it.

I wouldn't but it him I would buy him something half decent. If he doesn't drink it at least you haven't angered the beer goods :evil: :evil:

And even if he does put it in a cupboard out of site he will probably drink it when needs must and he has run out of *****.

Or when you pop round you don't have to drink f**ters :whistle:

Aha! The gift that keeps on giving. :thumb:

 

[graysalchemy]

And if he is perverse enough to give you F*sters then at least you will have something for him. :grin: :grin:

You're forgetting the most essential bit of equipment: the cat.

Personally I think you need to change his drinking habits slowly. Give him something that has flavour and he could go into shock, but if you ease him into it gradually he won't even notice. Stella would be a good next step after that Australian stuff. By this time next year you could have him on light ales.

Interesting thing, I read on AHB that they regard F...ERS as English ie not to be blamed on the colonial boys.

It's probably revenge for transporting them!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well, forgive me forum for the deed is done.

It turns out that, not content with the unbridled joy that is the standard Fo5t3r5, they have gone the extra mile to produce an exquisite nectar that they have named 'Fosters Gold'. I was so delighted that six of these had obviously remained unseen by other customers on the shelves of my local Spar shop, that I just knew it was meant to be.

He will be so happy.

I have to say, I was craving something light and fizzy the other day, it was between stella and sparkling water.

And the stella was colder, so I bought 4 cans of that. It felt wrong :cry:

Is it really true it's made from Kangaroo's urine?

 

[bobsbeer]

Is it really true it's made from Kangaroo's urine?

Definitely not. It would have some taste if it was. The real stuff is water, a touch of yellow food colouring and carbonated. And F*&ters Gold is the vat where the brewery dogs have raised a leg or two in disgust. :sick:

They say that to raise the price - makes it sound more authentically Aussie than coloured water (or cat P1ss for Foster's Gold), you forget it's not actually coloured (or urinated) over there. Real Aussie lagers are half decent, and actually decent in their sort of weather.

Crikey mates, Even us Aussies wont drink that muck.
Incidentally we have a lot of gold beers here.
The gold represents the fact that it is a mid strength beer, usually around 3.8% abv.
F-s-ters is even worse than Kiwi beer and thats baddddd.

 

[godfrey]

you should have got some imported from Australia
nobody drinks the auzzy sh1t
it must be worse than the pi55 served here

I would get him a selection of European largers
and had a tasting session with him

German
Belgium
Spanish
Dutch
Italian
Polish
Slovakian
Checoslovacian

must be something he like somewhere in the world
did he never drink cobra with a curry ?
