Being on a health kick I thought I'd reward myself with a couple of beers tonight having eaten rice crackers and drinking water all day at the footy today.
Picked up a 6 pack of Pure Blonde and a 6 pack of Boags Premium Blonde in keeping to my health kick.
Urgh, they're terrible (Boags being the worse).
Is there a decent low car beer out there or do they all taste so terrible?

Here's a tip, its not the carbs you have to worry about in a beer, its the alcohol content.

1 g of alcohol = 7 kilocalories,
1 g of carbs = 4 kilocalories,

Greatest marketing dupe of all time thinking low carb beers are a "healthy" weight loss option compared to normal beers.

If you want the healthy option drink the low to mid strength beers irrespective of the carbs.

I'm enjoying my Southwarks tonight

Cheers mate, never been a fan of mid or low strength beer but might have to learn to like it as it could only be better than this rubbish.
Good news is the 12 beers I bought tonight will last 2 or 3 weeks as its soo terrible.

The bitter, yes.

But the Southwark white/wheat beer wasn't too bad... do they still make that?

And the Southwark premium is possibly the most underrated beer in the nation.

Haagan Blonde is pretty good (well I like it).

I can't drink lite beer as it makes me wanna piss all the time :evil:

Nah, Southwark Bitter was always the beer known traditionally as Green Death.

The original recipie Southwark wasn't bad, according to an old bloke that used to work at the brewrey it was changed, only the old die hards still drank it, during the 90's it changed back to the original recipie but the damage to it's reputation was already done, either way it still tasted better than the crap in a green can (or bottle label) from across the border. Green Death is far to kind for VB!!

All the Angels I knew when I was back in SA drank VB all the time - they must be suicidal. I went to a Sunday arvo BBQ at an acquaintance's house and his leather clad mates looked at me strangely when I produced a slab of Coopers Ale, but they drank it when the VB and Jack Daniels ran out...

IMHO they're like Diet Coke mate, if you force yourself to drink it long enough it becomes okay.
