As luck would have it, the first beer I ever had in a nightclub (Champagne Charlies, Surfers Paradise, circa 1981) when I was 17 & legally not supposed to be there, was XXXX Bitter Ale (pronounced "fourex" but often referred to by tourists as "ex, ex, ex, ex") brewed by Castlemaine Perkins in Brisbane. Some/many these days would say that is not so lucky, though in the day there weren't anywhere near as many choices available as you find today. Anyway, the luck I'm referring to is the temperature the beer was served at that night was at the point where tiny icicles had formed to create a partycularly lively sensation when the sharp points contact the throat's surface when downing it. Every now and then it gets a conversational mention with the other es member who also partook with me at that time. XXXX has a lot of bite and is not revered very much outside of Queensland, however for me, although it's not my every-day drop now (yes it was for a few years then, until interstate & foreign beers with comparable prices began to appear), after a hard day's work in hot weather it most satisfies as big a thirst as you can throw at it.
It was an experience that may have triggered a primeval search to satisfy the same pleasure spot in my brain, 'cos I did search high and low back then when I was more bulletproof to getting pissed.
A theory is that XXXX may also underly what makes Queenslanders better at playing State of Origin rugby league, either that or it numbs the knocks more.

Thats all deatset true indeed Rob, I remember, because I was there at the time.
Didn't jag any girlie's that night though, probably because too pissed on the alcoholic shards of icy xxxx beer ! + the mega loud music in a very small crowded room, major flashing light's and huge bouncer's staring everyone down, not to mention the smoke machine (couldn't see much).

Girlie shagging did take place on many other night's though when less intoxicated

Surprised we lived through it really.

Wouldn't drink that xxxx crud nowadays though, cause's too bad a hangover.

Nice sharing.
I mostly drink Heineken and Amstel when me and my friends goes to nearly night club or any bar.

Beer, what can you say about beer ?
Whoever invented the stuff was obviously a genius without equal !!
...
Never been to the USA , but I hear that they drink lager beer there, the same as in oz. Can anyone suggest a tasty north american brew in case I ever visit ?

Salute.

I do not think I could offer you one tasty American brew to sample. No that would not do at all ...

...

Enjoy! KF

Excellent and enjoyable tour Kingfish!

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale rules!

[xenodius]

Monks Cafe Sour Flemish Red Ale is my all-time favorite by leaps and bounds.
Moosbacher Hefeweizen.
Spaten Oktoberfest.
Brown Shugga.

Pretty much anything from Midnight Sun is awesome, even their T.R.E.A.T. Imperial chocolate pumpkin porter which is not so much pumpkin as it is nutmeg, cloves, and chocolate.

Just about any open-fermented beer from Belgium is usually good drinking. Including lambics... mmm...

[Electroddy]

Well Sierra Nevada is the local brewery, but I can't stand their brews. My personal favorite is Anderson Valley Brewing Summer Solstice. It can be VERY hard to find, but there is one place around that usually has at least one sixxer.

The kind that has been distilled into scotch.

I'm lucky enough to live in Michigan with some of the finest craft beers on the planet. Whomever says American beer is bad has not had our craft beer! The regular Budweiser, Miller, etc, is quite boring.

Old joke: How is American beer like having sex in a canoe? It's f*cking close to water

Mmmm beer.

Based on this poll, you might think that 86% of users who voted drink alcohol of some kind. It often seems puzzling to me that one will scoff at recreational drugs but then get black out drunk. I've never done either personally, but I think it's silly how the world is. It's your body, down with prohibition. Drink responsibly and so on.
