Jollygoodfellow Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 West end was from Sth Aussie I am sure, Swan and Emu came from WA and they were good beersSth aussie put out the worst beers I have ever tasted one was called southern death southic sorry I cannot spell it only remember how it came back upYes Boss man all these beers came around during that beer strike in 1978-9 I remember when the local announced that they finally had XXXX on tap it had been so long that everyone in the bar all said it tasted like sh*&tThe owner had to take us down the cellar to prove the keg had XXXX on itBut now so many beers to drink I dont know what to order in a pub any more You are right,it was a SA beer,my memory is not as good as it used to be but I do remember having our work Christmas party trying to drink beer that we were not used to.Anyway I guess it really depends on where you live and what you were brought up on so to speak.I have no problems drinking San Miguel so all is good. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lee Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 So has anyone thought about finding a way to import SM into Australia? Might be a money making business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Yep San Miguel works for me so all is good as well :lol:I kinda liked the big tinnies of Fosters beer when my ship visited Perth a long time ago.I was celebrating with my Aussie buddies when Australian II won the America's Cup in1983. Dennis Conners of USA was such a cry baby! Anyway, San Magoo gives me the Hershey squirts but after a couple days, I'm good togo.

Bundy Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 So has anyone thought about finding a way to import SM into Australia? Might be a money making business. San Mig is available here in Oz but only at limited outlets and mostly in City areas ( i live in the country ). I have never seen SML here but i believe it is available. Like imported goods in the Philippines, the same story unfolds here so you can guarantee San Mig Beer is very very expensive and as such, it would have a very limited market.

Braddo Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Yes you can get San Mig here in Aussie but unfortunately it comes under exotic beers and you pay a premium to drink it Jake did you ever get the chance to try the Darwin Stubby in your travels around?
