Chemical beer for the masses, but I have no problem with it.

100 people will have 100 different opinions, and also your tastes can change.

Feck the silver bullets (cans) - I want long-necks!!! Resch's packaged the way God intended it.

As regards consumption/blouse-ness, the available stock was what? 10 cases, of which I got 2.

Being personally responsible for drinking 20% of the entire all-time supply of the only worthwhile beer ever imported here is, I think, a reasonable effort.

Bluebag = 20%
1,399,999,999 other folks = 80%

If all the rest of the country had held their end up properly, then it would have been very economically viable, no?

Also, who flew the white flag first and scuttled off on Monday night, eh?

Better still, let's settle it with a drink-off. I'll take you on drink for drink - me on Resch's and you with any proper full-strength beer. None of that low-carb/low-booze rubbish, OK?

^ Pure Blonde....

Although I would not refer to it as rubbish...

check with the guys at justbeer.cn.
They import it, and most of the other Foster's offerings.

Or, PM Mat from this site.
One of the owners

Ah, you see, THERE's where the problem lies - the word MOST.

Most. But not one of the most popular/classic Sydney beers (and, in my opinion, a MUCH better drop than the rival Tooheys).

Rampant Mexico-centrism, that's what I call it.*



* Don't take any of this stuff from me too seriously - I KNOW it's those bastards at Fosters who are refusing to export my Resch's - NOT Mat, Frank and Steve, but I don't have Mr. Fosters close to hand to whinge at...

haha. All of our containers of Fosters products come out of Melbourne, and as you know, they don't have Reschs down there, so difficult to get some thrown in.

Hey Mat, which of your beers is most like southern German pale lager (helles)? I just remembered I still have a nice enjoy card coupon from you guys that's aching to be used Smile

A few from my hit list in Shanghai: Cerna Hora, available at Southern Barbarian and Di Shui Dong and the Boxing Cat Brewery beers, favorite is the Altbier. Good stuff.

In terms of best beer in the world I'll have to say Augustiner Edelstoff (export) Tegernsee Spezial (export) and Prinzregent Luitpold Weissbier (wheat beer). Anyone who can say those three names ten times in a row gets a bottle of each from Germany when I'm there party

Hey Benji, I just cleared the fridge out of all that summer stuff...lagers (jawohl to Augustiner!), weizens and the such. This is the Belgian section of my Fall fridge, which would give your admittedly fine, German names a run for best brews. Can anyone identify the bottle without the label, made by those ingenious Belgian monks?

I've had Chang. It's great, best beer from Thailand. None of the Thai restaurants I've been to here ever have it, just Singha.
