It all gets you pissed, which is the main thing.

Unless you can't purchase it at unley without a sturt members badge

Japanese make the best cars, motorcycles, electronic equipment, whale burgers. Maybe they make the best beer.

They dont make West End so that statement could be true. But it isnt.

Not the best, but they do make very good beer.
My favorite was Yebisu, but that's made in Hokkaido and since the Fukushima accident I try to steer clear of anything North or West from Yamaguchi.
Sapporo and Kirin are also excellent beers and both have breweries right here in Kyushu so I don't need to worry about my wee glowing in the dark.

bollocks, expensive & over-rated twaddle.

You've been sniffing too many flares, burnt out your brain cells and seared your taste buds.
Beer in Japan is cheaper than in Oz, tastes on par with good Aussie beers.
Coopers makes Ale, different category.
I rate VB above Japanese beer.
Best beer I've had here was at a micro brewery. It won a gold medal at a world beer contest. They claimed to have hand picked the finest individual grains for brewing it. Tasted like a waterfall in the garden of Eden on the back of the throat.
Beat that flare boy!

Sapporo in AUSTRALIA, THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH, is bloody expensive stuff & doesn't taste any different really to most other beers going around. On the other hand, Coopers Pale Ale has won international awards. If the Irish are going to allow Guinness to be made in Adelaide, We here must be doing something right. SO STICK THAT UP YOUR VOLVO EXHAUST PIPE

Australia's Guinness supplies were being made by Fosters for years.
So it is obvious the Irish are not all that choosy...

North make the best hotdogs. And the beer is cheaper under the stand in the RSL Club ! And they sell Coopers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last time I was there some security guy threatend to send me to some sort of concentration camp if I did not take the Cooper Pale out of the ground..... think he was German !

When I had a Guinness at the factory in Dublin, I was told its not even as good anywhere outside Dublin as it doesn't travel well, and the stuff made overseas is not the same (at all, at all).

Mind you that was late May 2011 and things could have changed, or they could be prepared to lie for International sales or licence fees just like the fashion icons are...

Most of the 'imported' beer is brewed in Australia...

Merry Xmas everyone and a Ronny good new year to all!
Go you mighty EAGLES

Wouldn't say it varies an overly great deal throughout most of Ireland but when you start getting as far away as places like Cork and Galway there is a slight difference. It certainly doesn't travel well though, places as nearby as London there's a noticeable difference to the product you'd drink in Dublin.

Who would of thought beer drinkers could be as wanky as winers.

Agreed TSG but it has to be said, West End Draught is the Grange Hermitage of beers!

Your Grange must have been corked...

Don't like New Zealand beer ! Best thing about West End is their chimney .... well this year anyway !

Agree with your chimney comment in that it now looks great especially with no white which we wont see in this years Anzac Day game either

the chimney hasn't looked good since 2000.

Our colours were on it that year but not in the top spot! I doubt that we will see yours back on it again before the magpies become the power reserves and therefore leave the SANFL...

no they weren't. Centrals & Eagles played in the 2000 Grand Final. You mean the chimney hasn't looked good since 1999.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Port colours were on there in 2000

Meanwhile the long term Guinness drinkers I drink with rate West End Guinness as 0.5/10. One in particular has complained to both West End and the parent company in Dublin. He still keeps drinking it though. He often says "I'd drink it out of an afghan's underpants if I had to."

West End couldn't brew a fart on a diet of baked beans and cabbage.
