Spoken like a true Victorian

[bugjuice]

The General Managers of Cascade Brewery (Tasmania), Tooheys (New South Wales), XXXX (Queensland), CUB (Victoria) and Coopers (South Australia) were at a national beer conference.

They decide to all go to lunch together and the waitress asks what they want to drink.

The General Manager of Tooheys says without hesitation, "I'll have a Tooheys New."

The General Manager of XXXX smiles and says, "I'll have a XXXX Gold."

The General Manager of Coopers proudly says, "I'll have a Coopers, the King of Beers."

The bloke from Cascade says, "I'll have a Cascade, the cleanest draught on the planet."

The General Manager from Carlton glances at his lunch mates and says, "I'll have a Diet Coke."

The others look at him like he has sprouted a new head.


He just shrugs and says, "Well if you poofters aren't drinking beer, then neither will I."

That was a good 'un.

Oh, I thought you meant Victorian, like someone who lived during the reign of Queen Victoria. Took me a while to twig on to the fact that you were making a joke about beer made in Australia, the great red cultural desert.

Australia's a joke as far as beer is concerned, 3.5 is average strength and when you ask someone about microbreweries they say "... uh, microwhat?"

You are making no allowance for the climate.
3.5 is for drinking all day in the heat.

Microbrewery: contaminating beer with weird substances in small vats.

Cascade is wonderful stuff. I've only seen it in a few places over here, but it really is an extraordinarily refreshing beer. Only Korea's Hite can beat it.

I was pleasantly surprised by the range of excellent beers I found last time I was in Australia. Sometimes you have to go looking for them, but there are good beers out there.

Excuse me how could you have any self respect being a student drinking that pansy drink??
