I need to know....

The amount of complaints was amazing, overseas visitors were asking why we cant have a South Australian beer such as Coopers there instead of a Japanese beer when trying to showcase SA to the world.

Once again supply and demand though, while people keep drinking huge amounts of Japanese beer at AO, they wil keep selling it. The people that complain are there own worst enemies. I personally refuse to touch it.

It’s got nothing to do with how much people drink - it’s a captive market. More to do with how much sponsorship dollars lion Nathan give to cricket Australia

You'd think Lion Nathan would get right behind Nathan Lyon.

I'd prefer to drink water than Coopers, you either do or you don't with that stuff, I've tried to like it.

I love Coopers Pale out of the tap, out of a bottle I can take it or leave it.

I might give it a go from the tap then, gives me a gut ache from the bottle and horrible exit the following morning.

Try the coopers session ale. Very good and less of that “coopers” taste

Will do, not a Paley's fan but was forced to drink their light one day and it was as good as you get for a light thought.

Coopers Sparkling Ale is better than the Paley

Lion Nathan has a lot more beers than those available at the footy and cricket. Used to be a better range at SANFL games too.
Don't drink the shit ones and the good ones would be made available, simple. Has everything to how much people drink. Same reason the prices are so high too.
All good for me though, I save money by working at these events I used to attend as a spectator and member so I make money instead of wasting it.
All the more to spend at the pub, overseas and MCG instead.

Tried that the other day, not a fan.

Its very nice but not a beer I could drink a lot of in a sitting though.
Its like a craft beer at a run of the mill beers price.

All this beer talk is makimg me thirsty, time to get out of bed and head to the pub for a countery.

Went to Globe Derby a couple of weeks ago and their main fridge had shit itself so basically had nothing there, the upstairs bar was unmanned too so the evening was destined to be shit house.
The bar staff asked what are we likely to drink and roughly how many we will be having so they could put some on ice for us, would've meant waiting an hour to get cold though, I can't believe how that place is deteriorating, it's sad, the trots on a Saturday night could be a great night.

Be much better if they moved it into civilasation like other trotting tracks around the country.

Yeah, not even a bus to travel out there.

The Wayville experiment worked, not sure how it would go full time though, apparently the food and drinks were dear AF.

Hmmm, I might have to get a job there too if that happened full time!

Captive audience, like the Oval, people want a drink they'll pay for it, simple.

Yeah, it was a novelty, quite easy to sit at home or next to Wedgie in the front bar and watch some trotters racing every half an hour otherwise.

It was great to watch on TV, we were spewing that we didn't go though.

Eagle Blue was actually a light beer.
XXXX Gold is made by Lion Nathan, who also make West End & Hahn Super Dry - plus XXXX Gold is the No 1 selling beer in Australia.

Marginally ahead of VB

Rubbish call. Xxxx goes alright. Vb is piss

[woodublieve12]

How can people get so drunk on XXXX Gold?

Pretty simple really, drink more of it.

I pretty only buy mid strength for home and I usually drink mids when I am out too.

Yeah my Step Dad drinks it too and enjoys it, I'd have to drink a carton of it to get mildly pissed for some reason.
Didn't Eagle Bitter used to be mid strength or was it 4.0 plus?
