hmmm....got it for 37.90 today, somebody else claims it was 32.90 earlier in the week....We are VB drinkers, and don't mind this one at all. I'm too young to remember the ad though.
@ajenstini This comes as a complete shock to me from someone who actively consumed Powers. one carton a night i do believe. Now where's my 10 speed racer?? or the golf clubs for that matter??
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief.Checked it out cos $KQ morning radio today had some guru from Carlton on saying it's coming back.I rubbed my ears in disbelief.Still,I've got downstairs a genuine un used Brisbane Bitter umbrella. Dunno wether to cringe about fessing up or put the sucker on e-bay
I remember this ad as a 17 year old high school student in 1981 - it, ahem, kept me awake at night. Do you reckon they would make one like this today?
Brisbane Bitter certainly wasn't an iconic brand. It was first made by CUB after the brewery mergers in the late 70's and didn't last too long because it was shit!!
FANTASTIC! Thankyou - I've been hoping someone could find and post one of these. The one I specifically remember (which surprisingly is NOT this one....) had people on a booze cruise on the city stretch of the river. Must have been around 79/80 whereas this one looks 1982/3 plus?

This would have to be the worst tasting beer ever made. It was renamed Brisbane River by lots of people.

I remember this ad before there were all the brewery mergers and many of the iconic brands dissappeared.
