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"

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
