It was tongue in cheek because I was expecting a response like that, but I do love a Vic! 

Each to his own Scipio. VB is close to the bottom for me. The bottom beer is a drop from the UK called Old Spectacled Hen. Drank at room temperature. It has the honour of being the only beer that I could not finish the glass.

    No problem DZ. It maybe that "AFL" is not allowed to be used on anything other the AFLs beer sponsor who is as you say is Asahi / CUB.

    Old Speckled Hen. In total agreeance OD! I flinch even when I read the name! Disgusting. VB is too but OSH takes it to another level.

    Lost sales opportunity for furphy.

    I'd buy a six pack to display one in the normal furphy is quite good but the crisp is cats p..

    surely they could do some commemorative cans of the normal furphy. I'd buy a summer's worth in one hit 

    The AFLs beer sponsor is CUB/ Asahi. They Furphy are probably not allowed to use anything associated with "AFL"

    Yep it takes the cake by a wide margin.

    I'm sure I tried a pint of Old Speckled Hen over there and came to the same conclusion... from memory it was pretty damn cheap!

    This is true, but Lion is allowed to use Melbourne FC IP under the terms of their Club deal. The words "Premiers", "Premiership" and "Grand Final" are protected AFL IP, but they could use "Demons" and our colours and logo, as they did in the bottles the players had. I guess they think without being able to specifically link it to the language footy fans use it's not worth the effort.

    Probably correct AM.

    Surely they can do a play on Melbourne Bitter, maybe call it Melbourne @Bitter but optimistic

    Our supporters are more Creme Brulee Stout than MB, Furphy types

    Big time loss of sales for Furphy, surely they can't miss out on an opportunity like this. We need to start a petition my fellow Demonlanders.

    How'd you access the competition? I searched high and low for details to try and enter but couldn't find any. 

    It just appeared in my Facebook feed from memory

    Surely the old 80s Cairns Draft should get a special mention. It was like drinking a bowl of peanuts.

    Honourable mention for the old Geelong Bitter. The worst insult for a beer is that it tastes like cat's plss, but I suspect Geelong Bitter really was made from cat's plss.

    Nothing wrong with VB. Gives the XXXX heavy a hiding in my view and taste.

    Mods, could the beer brand battle go to another thread? (maybe No T$ No B$? - give the bananas a shake!) Whenever this thread comes back to the top I think an announcement's been made!

    • 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.
