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!??

How much would you be willing to spend to get a slab?

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

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

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.

I don’t even drink beer but would have got a case for my bar 

This rather ambitious person is selling them for $50 per bottle but i have to say i'm going to do it still.

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 🤣

At good cause!
