Fuck off, I drink VB and piss in Tooheys New bottles, I then drink Tooheys New and piss in Peroni bottles. If you must drink Italian you have to drink Moretti.

Now that's a brand I have seen occasionally in stores here. Is it decent?

It's not the best beer in the world, as it's not Coopers, but is is bloody good stuff. Don't listen to Gray, that Inner West Suburbs Yuppie, he won't come out west to the Druitt for a visit where they only have manly beers.

By the way, Cave Creek Chili Beer is now made in Mexico, by Tecate, and I can no longer get it at Walgreen's Drug Store. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted; I suppose I could just stuff a chili pepper down the neck of a Tecate and let it soak for a few minutes...

I haven't seen any Cave Creek for a few years, but then again I haven't dropped into that Beers of the World bottle shop for a few years. I added the chillis to beer bottles back in the late 90's after a visit to Octoberfest (Australian version) back in 1996. I found a chilli beer at the counter, bought a round and no one else could finish it, I was off my nut 6 hours of drinkning later.

You're a unique man MM, certainly the only one I know that likes that Belgian stuff. It really is their version of Fosters

Inbev tries to sell it as an upclass beer, but a lot of belgian drinkers (including myself) don't go for that. It's still better than foreign beer though.

It's about as standard as a lager can be. It doesn't stick out in any direction. It's decent, but won't make you excited. So it's less bland then Heineken, but basically the same aiming group.

You may be right Josh, but it does not mean he has any taste, Stella, Peroni, bloody hell what's wrong with the Coopers! Still it's better than the donkeys piss the Kiwi's used to call beer. You can all stop your bitching, I drink Tiger and pay $7+ for the privilege.

For now yes, but without a government for more than 200 days. The situation doesn't look very promising for the future of Belgium :~

Nah, Peroni isn't crap (isn't my favourite, I like much more DAB). :)

I find Peroni quite tasteless, personally. Still far better than Stella, though. However, help is at hand[^]. I can personally recommend the Mixed Belgian Beer Styles[^] and A Cidery Dozen[^] packs - I had a delivery of them a couple of weeks back. With Valentine's Day approaching, One for the Lovers[^] made me chuckle: It's the time of year when those young at heart have thoughts turning to LOVE. Why not satisfy your loved ones ardour (or your own,if that's what turns you on) with our special range of Valentine day themed ales. Raise a glass and raise a titter with this 12 bottle range of British and Belgian beers. The bottles are, Daleside Old Leg Over, Kelham Island Easy Rider, Skinners Cornish Knocker, Durham Temptation, Hoegaarden Rose, Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit, Slap & Tickle, Cairngorm Wild Cat, Rumpy Pumpy, Marstons Owd Rodger, Old Gee Spot and Hambleton Stud Bitter. Make of that what you will... :rolleyes:
