Is Foster's really Australian for beer?

Umm... Do not laugh at my superb camera skills ;) We all learn sometime.

For a while, we have had a popular ad campaign in America that tells us quite boldly that Fosters is Australian for beer. I have put that add slogan to the test.

Those people were right about how nobody here drinks Fosters, but the only half decent Australian beer you tried was the Coopers. The others are all mass produced swill for the unwashed, unsophisticated masses.

For a real Australian beer, you have to try some of the microbrews. Try some James Squires, Matilda Bay, or Little Creatures. There are several varieties of each. Microbrews are where the REAL Australian beer is.

@lh97701 But it would be easy to taste which is which. I mean as soon as you take a swig of Fosters and you get a piss taste in your mouth you instantly recognise it as Fosters and vomit it back up.

@MistrzKubica Years and years ago we did sell Fosters here but it soon went out of business cause most of us Aussie hate the taste of that shit. So they peddle it to overseas markets and claim it's still an Aussie favourite. The truth is, we don't drink that shit anymore here.

[csgrambauer2]

Man as far as I know we don't sell that shit anymore here (Fosters). It was the 'face' of Australian beers though in movies like Crocodile Dundee but come on - that stuff is yucky. We don't really have a name for beer here unless you just say 'booze'. It also depends on which beer the person in question likes. You may find a person who prefers VB and they will say it's Australian for beer. Others will say XXXX is Australian for beer. I say who gives a fuck? VB, XXXX - I don't care I drink both.

Please Aussie macro beer drinkers hear me when i say, you do not have to accept the cabbage and soda water swill that the likes of VB, Tooheys, XXXX etc continue to push upon you!

I guess if you drink beer to " fit in with the crowd " these flavourless bland beers my do it for you.

 There are so many better choices, Coopers pale is my staple and a great beer, but boags, cascade, james squire, matilda bay, and little creatures are superior in everyway. Open your tastebuds!

Fosters isn't Australian for beer. Crown Lager is. Let me tell you why. Because Fosters, over seas, is rebranded Crown Lager.

[lh97701]

you should have put the beers in unmarked cups switched em around then tried them. or had other australians try them. now that would have been a test. it would be funny as hell if you found some australians doggin it then ended up picking it without knowing.
