Anyway to cut a long story long, I dropped into the local IGA tonight and the dude brought out an 8 pack of a never before seen Tooheys Premium Dry. You won't find it on the lion-nathan website, and not even google knows about it. It's supposed to be smoother across the tongue than Extra Dry, but here's the kicker: the label on the neck of the bottle reads 6.5%. That's the equivalent of longwall mining your last few remaining briancells out. Think Elephant Beer and you'll be on the right track
IGA reckons an 8 pack will sell for about $20, which makes it only slightly more exxy than extra dry which seems to have found itself in the boutique brews section of most liquor shops even though it's probably just tooheys new cold filtered and dressed up in a clear bottle.
Look for it in you IGA store some time in June. Look for 17yo kids and unsuspecting yanks passed out on your front lawn about the same time.
Have fun.
Corporate beer still sucks, and you should be ashamed of yourself drinking that sheit, Jock. Anyway, isn't Coopers Sparkling 6.5% and actually tastes like beer? It's only about 14 bucks for a sixer *Waits for Exy to chime in about how you can buy beer at the 711 over there and that it's cheaper than milk* (and tastes like it, too)
On another topic, I have had the best Thylacine week so far, and am in the process of doing THREE bikes at the same time, two of with are TITANIUM!!!!!!
I'm a happy chappy.
