Brauhaus Fritz Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 It was just too good, no time to take a photo of a full glass. These big cans are sooo delicious. Never realised they have a best after date 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Was looking for the Coopers Vintage Ale and found a Vintage Vintage one.Oh my, it is really nice, I wanna brew all the vintage ale recipes now, if they turn out only half as good they are still really nice beers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, for the record, I am happy to drink VB anytime. Its a pretty clean lager really. I think the stigma of VB being shite is a massive myth. But I wont force my opinion on anyone, but I don't mind telling people I like it either. Ice cold after work on 40 degree day it goes a long way. Each to their own, I like all sorts of beer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeB7 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I have a mate works at Yatala CUB & according to him VB, Fosters & Crown are all the same recipe. Obviously there's a different method for each. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know PM what yeast they use for the VB, I've heard a rumor that it's an ale yeast. Carlton Draught from the tap on a hot summers day goes alright as well.....but as you say each to their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also done warm as @interceptor said but I didn't think as high as 18c. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there's a different method for each. I played footy with a bloke who worked for one of the big breweries years ago he said Fosters and Crownies were the same beer! I would prefer a VB over both of them. I went to a funeral recently where the guy who died loved VB so I had a couple on tap in his honour on, really enjoyed them. Unfortunately (I think) I was driving so only had two, lucky cause I was just starting to warm up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round here our fences are all wire. When I have a glass of beer worth a glamour shot I will have to fake something up. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your paddock photo : ) There'll be something to park a glass up on - even maybe the back of a ute tray or a tree stump? Haha is all a bit of fun cheers JSS and good brewing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
