Booney, Pseudo nice lists lads ... Most impressed!!

Still noone tried the Coopers Lager??

[rod_rooster]

I agree Crown Lager is over rated Soap Suds, very similar to Foster's Lager.

Funny that :wink:

Personally i don't rate Coopers Pale. Coopers Draught is possibly the worst thing i've ever had in my life until you try Coopers Light. Their Sparkling, Dark Ale and Stout is top notch though. Agreed with those who bagged American beers. Millers can't even spell Draught :twisted: Bloody Americans.

My overall top 5 beers/lagers:

5: Snakebite (%variable, origin, unknown)

Beer, Cider % Blackcurrant Cordial. Fightin Juice. I loves it!

Got such a bad rep, that many English pubs have now banned the stuff. Can’t think why.

4: Duvel (8.5% Belgium) The daddy of Trappist Belgian Beers. Awesome beer.

3: Thatcher’s Premium Cider (6.0% Bristol, England)

Forgive me a parochial indulgence, but I am from the west of England and I’m very proud of this famous local export.

Well, I suppose it’s an improvement on the West Country’s other famous trades: Pirates, Tobacco and Slavery!

Actually if I’m being hyper-local it should be served with “a slice”. But only people from South of the Avon will get that. Especially BS3. Don’t expect much response from that.

Seriously, if you guys can get it – give it a try!

2: Coopers Sparkling (5.8% SA, Australia). I love this beer. Reminds me of a great time in my life (and) my favourite Australian State. No better Aussie beer. So much so, I paid a$110 for 3 imported crates to teach my mates about great beer and “footy”

A great day. So much so we went for a drunk kick to kick in the park in the afternoon.

The King for hangovers though! Fe*kin yeast. I just skol it. Is that right?

1: Staropramen Draught (5.0% Czech)

Best beer ever. Crisp, classy and zero hangover. This is a beer for all occasions. It has been scientifically proven (well by me) to be appropriate on the following occasions:

Footy trips to Prague
Holidays with the missus to the Czech Republic
Cricket in front of the TV
County Cricket Games smuggled in to the ground.
Wedding Receptions
A quiet night at the pub
A quiet night that turned into a big night at the pub
Etc Etc.

Best beer (or should I say bier) I ever had was a couple of Gosser (can't do umlauts) long necks after a hard day trekking into Vienna, absolutely knackered. Found one ma & pa cafe open by the time we got in and had to settle for local fare of boiled pork & sauerkraut. They kept on bringing me Gossers and I couldn't help but oblige.


Just bought a carton of Coopers Lager - will try tonight.

*BURP*

Southwark Premium. Heavily underrated.

Haven't had one for a while, but I'd have to agree, it's not a bad drop.
West End draught for an everyday beer for me, it's gotta be bloody good drinking weather and nothing else in the fridge to even contemplate a VB , Carlton Draught or XXXX
XXXX Gold doesn't taste as bad as full strength, but it gives you the sh!ts the next day
I don't mind most things that Coopers brew, but their Draught is bloody aweful.

I had a Gosser on Thursday night. They sell them at the bottlo at the end of my street. Good beer.

[Dissident]

I like any beer with questions under the lids =)

[longtimewaiting_2]

other beers coopers pale, coopers sparkling , corona

[therisingblues]

My favourite beer of choice is the Coopers Pale. What I drink almost every day in Japan is a drop called "Sapporo", but all of the Japanese beers seem to be around the mark, like "Keiren" and "Asahi". Their brewing tradition comes from Germany, and after learning the art, they haven't done much wrong with it for the past hundred or so years. For a few yen extra, my favourite tasting Japanese beer is "Yebisu", it's the one with the fat, happy god on the label. A couple of years back I found an Aussie bar in Osaka and ordered a bottle of whatever they had, and the barkeep brought me a V.B. Now I am quite fond of this drop anyway, but at that moment it tasted so good, I could have stayed there all night if the circumstances had allowed it.

Best Beer
1. Sparkling Ale
2. daylight

Camels' Piss
1. VB

If You Drink This, Your Liberace Gay
1. Corona (w or w/out lemon slice)

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

1. Corona (w or w/out lemon slice)

dont know if this is the true reason behind the lemon slice, but apparently the water in Mexico is dirty so people but a lemon slice in as a filter, obviously no need to do it in Australia but people still do it just for the hell of it.

If you are having two or three beers Coopers Sparkling Ale is the best for mine. An absolutely magnificent drop. Nothing comes close. Only problem is you can't drink them all night.

Then its pale.

Third is tie between Tooheys extra dry and crown lager.

Quite a nice beer is Dublin Pale. I only tried it a week ago but its quite nice. At the Dublin Hotel Glenelg it can be found.

If its warm weather and im in for a big day id go extra dry, If im celebrating somthing ill go Crown and if its winter or not extremely hot or im not in for an 8 or 9 plus stubbie affair il go pale.

I will also mention that one of best days on the piss ever was on VB tinnies. Started drinking em 9am and lasted till 8pm. They go down easy and taste quite sweet after a while.

your best post ever dash.

no beer tonight, just woodstock bourbons, must admit though they seem alot sweeter than i remember from the last time i had them, dont think i will get them again any time soon.
its strange theough, apparently the woodstock bourbons sweetness is supposed to attract drinkers of ages 15-20 even though only 2 years worth of those should really be drinking.

Try 'em with dry instead of cola, or go for a Cougar and dry instead, been slurping on a few of them for the last few hours, and you don't start to get that sickly sweet after taste the crap (schweppes) cola leaves you with.

So has anyone tried the Coopers Lager yet?

I had a few Cascade Pale Ales last night at the Casino as they were dirt cheap, OK but no Coopers Pale.

The lemon is to cover up a problem with "light strike" apparently light going through the clear bottles causes a chemical reaction that real beer gourmets find offensive. I think the average punter wouldn't pick it up. This problem only occurs if beer is bottled in clear or green bottles, ideally beer should only be bottled in amber glass, but the marketing boys like the clear and green bottles. A mate of mine who is an industrial chemist (unfortunately a Collingwood supporter ) has developed a coating for bottles that prevents light strike, he's had quite a lot of interest from big international brewers. Science lesson over for today MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY

Ill agree ok but nothing special. Have you tried Dublin Pale?

I was given a six packof mixed (all award winning) beers from Grand Ridge Brewing Co. in Mirboo Nth, Gipsland Vic. who produces naturally brewed beers, nothing artificial etc. etc.
I found their web site, http://www.grand-ridge.com.au/grand_ridge.asp

The first I tried was called "Moonlight"
Only 3.3%, but full flavoured, first couple of mouthfulls were a bit hard to take, but it grew on me by the time I was 1/2 way through. As the description on the bottle suggested it had a nutty flavour, and quite a strong malt flavour. 7/10

The 2nd was called "Yarra Valley Gold",(4.9%)
The only way I could describe it is Coopers Sparkling Ale with extra bite, complete with all the extra bits you expect floating in a Coopers.
I wouldn't rush out and buy a slab, but it was OK. 5.5/10

Still got 4 to try (one's 8.5% ) I'll pass on my thoughts after I've tried them.
