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. 

There’s a flashback for me OSH, never a more appropriate name for a beer. Horrible stuff got a pint of it once OD and couldn’t finish it

    Thought i'd dabble in some of the stock english ale at Dans OD to see if i could find a gem from about 6 random lagers.    Unfortunately bought one of these in the mix.  Never again!  It also gave me a headache...similar to Furphys!

    Entire batch was cat pee.  Could not find one brew amongst the 6 that tasted anything like a classic English ale (from tap over there)

    Anyone know of one out here!??

    I love old speckled hen OD, I drank it all through the seventies, an acquired taste I  will admit, but far from the bottom

    Russia has some of the worst beers in the world in my opinion

    Howler have done a premiership beer,  no idea how this tastes but the label looks good.

    To think all our *sponsor* Furphy had to do was slap a different sticker on some bottles and they could have cashed in on our success-starved MFC fan delirium that has seen millions pumped into Premiers merchandise sales. Instead some non-sponsor independent brewery seems to be cashing in.

    Abbots Lager was my preferred drink - nice and malty

    Spot on,  I contacted them but they only did the 57 for a competition, no doubt they would have got a heap of business. Maybe they just underestimated the level of sales?

    Waste of an opportunity. But they could still do it now

    I stopped drinking about 30 odd years ago, but did give it a nudge when I was having a few and the beer of choice at the time was VB, I thought it was a great drop.

    Strewth!   and the even years??

    Do you miss it?

    We have cut right back until the  Xmas celebrations start.  Noticed I have got a tad cranky.

    Cant they just do a pre - order and when they get to a profitable quantity turn on the tap?

    No doubt the marketing department wants to produce Furphy beer rather than MFC beer.

    Danish Gold. Horrid. I had a serious constitution for beer as a young man but i couldn't abide by this stuff. The only beer that tasted worse the more of it you drank. It was cheap so I tried hard to acquire the taste but to no avail. The thoughts of it now is enough to make me grimace

    Nah, I drank enough in the preceding years, to more than make up for what I haven't drunk since. Went cold turkey, stopped drinking one day and haven't had a drink since, missed the company of the guys but not the drinking.

    New poster posting this with their first post is certainly not the same guy selling this.

    And yet 3 months later, he still has the same 8 bottles for $50 each.
    I guess that you weren't the only one who didn't lash out after all 🤣

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
