Otto Von Blotto Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I always have a keg of that stuff on tap. Goes well with cordials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlos_1984 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 "real beer". Gtfo. Couldn't be any further from being real beer. It's like saying a "real" good red wine is one that comes in a silver pillow inside a box with a built in tap for convenience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what your saying Karlos, but there are a couple of good wines out there with the special pillow built in. Actually, who am I kidding. Theres a couple that are ok.

Norris! Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have been tossing up the idea of making a batch of cerveza with a PoR 15min and flameout addition to show some of my friends how easy and CHEAP it is to make what they want to drink...But I also don't want to make a batch of beer I don't want to drink and just hand out as a "I told you so". I guess if I was more of a jerk and had loads of time and fermenters....hmmm. Yeah nah. If that is what they like, so be it. People pay for convenience. So if I fill a keg with water I can just carb it up like normal and have sparkly water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 6 years ago if someone asked me what sparkling water was I would of just looked at them. Blankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 That's all I do. I mix it with all sorts of cordials and I get the soda stream flavours and use the cola one with my Jack Daniels. Much cheaper way to get cola than buying it, $5 for a concentrate that makes about 10 litres. I just tip some of it in a glass with some whiskey and top it up with soda water. Tastes just like mixing it with Coke or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Aye, but mine taste better because I can make it my own bloody strength and not fill 75% of the glass with fn ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer in a can isn't an issue really. Many craft breweries sell their product in cans. It's the drinking out of the can I object to. Firstly it tastes festy with the metallic flavour you get and secondly usually isn't a sign of sophistication. I grew up at a place and time, where drinking or even buying beer in cans was a little bit of a no-no and only the lowest quality beers were sold in cans. They were cheap though. So yeah, maybe it's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 On a recent visit to Brisbane my son inlaw insisted I try a Great Northern. Of course I'd never heard of it being from NZ but he insisted it was one of Aussie's best. Compared to my daughters 2nd ever homebrew - a citra-hopped PA it was one very bland "beer"! Actually if I was being totally honest with him, which I wasn't, I thought it was absolute sh*t and in all honesty one of the most unremarkable beers I've ever tasted. I had another which I really didn't like either... Furphy I think it was the brand?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Sydney one if the most posh Bottle shop in CBD sells it for $4 a stubbie. To be honest not a fan ..... its a bit tasteless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually edited my post... that's a generic megaswill 'pretend' IPA that's around $1.50: I live in Auckland, NZ. I was horrified at the price of beer at the stores when I visited Brisbane a couple of weeks ago. Also noticed you can't actually buy booze at the supermarket in Queensland too.

Wow ...... for that price here you would get probably something like 6 pack of Carlsberg or something. In NSW homebrew is the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
