I'm new to Australia. What happened to VB? 

It was the biggest single selling brand in Australia in Vic Nsw and Qld and SA

Some brightspark in the marketing department on $500000 per year decided to change the formula

The result tasted like dogs [censored]

It was all down hill from there its anothing  label now.

    Sounds like a [censored]-up of New Coke proportions. 

    I'm probably more toward the hipster end of the bogan-craft beer scale, but the one thing I always miss when overseas is a VB or Carlton Draught from the tap. 

    I arrived back in Oz on the day of the lock-down, so no go. But I did notice the diminished status of both beers at the bottle shop and had wondered what happened. 

    This somewhat explains it I guess.

    VB always tasted poor, the change just made it a different poor.

    Cannot agree, used to be the best of the tap beers. Selling CUB was the sin! Is 46deg here in Djibouti a.t.m. what I wouldn't give for a Coopers red label right now though. Is Furphy made by the same mob that put out that horrible Geelong bitter?

    With CUB taken over by Assahi then a fair proportion i 90 % of Aussie beer production is owned by The [censored]

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
