Jesus, imagine feeling peer pressure to drink Emu Export.

That dark ages were dark indeed.

In the original steel cans. Mother’s milk

VB was a bit fancy but yeah necked a few flagons of Kyrup back in the day. I got in a sculling game with KS once & the last thing I remember is the lawn attacking me.

I used to go to The Sunday Session at The Stoned Crow, make it to the half an hour Sunday evening mass at the Catholic Church on Canning Highway. I would grab a church newsletter to prove to my very strict father that I had gone to mass, then head back for more Kirup Syrup. Oh to be 18 again

I probably wouldn't drink at all if those were the options.

Kind of agree with most that some lagers go okay but a lot of sh** ones tend to be on tap at pubs so you're better off going with something else with the additional rule - if it sounds too sweet it probably is.

You might be surprised if it was the only medium available to convey alcohol into your bloodstream.

Just neck a couple bottles of vanilla essence.

Honestly you kids don’t know how good you have it.
In my day you could choose between Swan Lager or Emu Export. Maybe Emu Bitter if you were feeling like a change.

Late 90s when I started there was some options coming in but still nothing like it is now.

I will be 26 years sober this November and can testify to what E Shed is telling you all about the lack of choice back in the day. As a non-drinking alcoholic, I am being amused by all this fancy-pantsing about piss that's going on. The twittering of dilettantes and amateurs.

It is, I imagine, a bit like being a whore and hearing some teenagers giggling about gobbies.

Congratulations, 26 years is awesome

Hey I’ve got one. I laugh sometimes at what a cliche I’ve become. My wife & I have a joke about it between us, driving around Freo in a Golf sipping a latte with a cavoodle on my lap listening to Taylor Swift.

It’s a long way from putting mysterious substances in my bloodstream and falling off the stage at the Prince of Wales in St Kilda in the 80’s.

Hey! Hoping to get one when the time is right work-wise. Where’d you get yours? All the ones I’m seeing are tiny!

 

[malpaso]

Ever had a really good small-scale (somewhere like Eagle Bay would be too big) craft lager?

Yes, too many craft beers to count and lager wherever it comes from is at the bottom. Pale Ale in all forms is King.

Congratulations on both the 26 years, and simply exquisite turn of phrase. I'm just sad I can't show my year 6s this veritable ambrosia of figurative language, they might actually learn something then

My sister got one from a breeder in Harrisdale I think.

Jesus, 4 or 5 pages of whinging about a Fremantle lager. Maybe SA wasn't far off and actually meant hipsters, not hippies. Still, I'd take both a lager or an IPA over chardonnay.

What's everyone's thoughts on sours?

That's like saying you wouldn't have listened to the Radio in 1935 with it being the only option other than reading a book. If you were inclined to drink you would have drunk what was available.

I say all this with the fact in mind I am actually not old enough to have experienced at time when one of Emu Export / Bitter, Swan Draft / Larger / Gold was your only choice unless they were fancy enough to have Houghtons White Burgundy available. By the time I reached drinking age the revolution had begun a few years before. Hell you could get McEwan's on tap in the Kardinya Tavern in 1997.

Coffee snobs are worse than beer snobs. Mostly.

I DGAF what you drink but don’t try and be all elite about it because someone else doesn’t like what you drink

I remember talking to a bartender once about beer and saying that I’m not a huge fan of most ales but I didn’t mind Guinness and no joke he replied with “stouts are ales”.

I don’t get it. stouts are ales

Between him and Wil Schofield, I always feel their compliments are a way of putting the mozz on us.

There's a sherbet sour that's a nice drop on a hot day.

 

[Purple Suit]

Beer snobs to the left and Yobbos to the right.

The best side to be on is the middle, just drink what ever you feel like or is available at the time. It's Beer, it's all good.
