A friend of mine asked me if it was true that aussies don't care for Fosters. Without missing a beat I told him drink enough of it and you'll turn into "Crocodile" Dundee. I don't think he fell for it. I dunno about you but there is better beer than that. Here are a few of my favorites: Carlton Draught James Boag's-Premium Lager Sheaf Stout Victoria Bitter (VB)
i forgot about fosters. they seem to have stopped advertising. so has outback steakhouse, now that i think about it. i guess in our current culture an embarrassing fake accent is no longer an acceptable way to advertise a product.
Americans pronounce it weird. They say... Owwsie But you gotta say it like Ozzy. And what the fuck is Melb-born? It's melb'n
I tried Foster's a time or two. Both types that were offered at the Athens Kroger store where I shop from time to time. It's the equivalent of what we call "panther piss", similar to the old "Billie Beer" that was sold here during Jimmie Carter's administration. I like the large cans, though. They make great popcan stoves. I made one that would burn like hell for well over two hours. I think it held 4-5oz max. I miss the old Heineken cans, though. Yeah, Foster's is not a good advertisement for Australian beer. It gives the Aussies a bad name.
