No matter how much free beer I still wouldn’t go out to Elizabeth


You sure, it’d be WED or VB?

I've been to the Reepham and Mawson Lakes, Elizabeth would be an improvement.
What beer?
If it includes Pale I'm hijacking the ship and heading there.

A pub in Elizabeth North has one way to ease the discomfort of the hot weather, offering free beer if temperature goes above 45C.

The Red Lion Hotel started their “beer-o-meter” last March, but the heat of the past few weeks has really tested the concept.

Above 40C, the price at the Red Lion drops to $3. Above 42C and the beer is $1. Over 45C and it’s free.

Publican Stephen Firth said weather is not that only thing that is running hot.

“The phones have been going mad with people ringing to verify it’s true,” he said.

”They can’t believe we are doing it.”

On Wednesday afternoon they had run out of glasses and were serving schooners. It’s the customer’s choice of beer on tap, too — only Stella is off the menu.

“If it gets over 42C, it’s $1 a pint. That’s still a good deal. I don’t know of any other pubs that are doing $1 pints,” Mr Firth said.

Temperature is measured by the Bureau of Meteorology reading at Edinburgh — the closest gauge to the pub.

“If it goes over 45C for 10 minutes, then it’s free beer for 10 minutes,” Mr Firth said.

Adelaide’s 80-year heat record could topple on Thursday, the Bureau of Meteorology says, as the city and its healthcare system brace for a new maximum forecast of 45C in Adelaide on Thursday, and even higher elsewhere in the state.

Not sure risking my life by going to Elizabeth is worth the free beer....

They used to do ok meals in there and I’d sometimes pop in have a meal and then knock back 1 or 2 in the front bar very quickly and get out of there. You need eyes in the back of your head though [emoji3]

Yep, home of the stone grill back in the day, it's pokey and you can cut the tension in the air if you're not a regular.
