I like pigs

They're an essential source of my diet

I'll give our pigs something slightly more upmarket and classier

For those overseas members, the Aussies will certainly remember the beer company wars during the 80's

I loved endless commercials, fierce rivalry and competition for market share.

I don't like Carlton Draught, but I think they had the best ad during those wars

It's A Big Ad

Yeah, I remember the ad. What a corker. These days I drink Two Brothers Voodoo Porter and Feral Brewing Company - Hop Hog when I can get it...but as any troo bloo son of Victoria will tell you, on a 40'c day, you can't beat an ice-cold VB stubbie...well not unless you're a...shudder...Boag drinker. I mean fair suck of the sav E!
And Santee, that's my scowly Oriental face.

Sorry mate, I just cannot handle VB at all anymore

Granted it was great when I was still an apprentice and not making a real lot of cash, like way back in 1988

Do you think that explains his weight issues: having given up he put on a few?

No, I've no idea whether he used to. /shrug/

Oz-- good whiskey, ruinously expensive.

What is it with Oz and whiskey? Aussies are making some really good stuff, even a sour mash Bourbon-style (Tiger Snake, from Lime Burners), but its all priced like its gold.

Yummy stuff, if you can convince someone to buy it for you . . .

Lark -- excellent. Sullivan's Cove, supposed to be very nice too, but I've never had. Best Oz whiskies I've had so far are the Limeburners range, from WA . .. really nice stuff, was lucky enough to get to try at a tasting. Small production, definitely top shelf.

Lark is nice . . . but the WA stuff is fantastic, their sour mash is as good as the best US bourbons I've had, pretty amazing . . .
