So, should we as the beer cognoscenti, work to educate anyone who'll take the time to listen, or let the philistines be?
Cheers,

Some people will have their pre concieved ideas about beer and will never change, for example, me and a bloke I once knew were at a bottleshop buying some beer for a party, I got Coopers, he grabbed Crownies. I'd given him a taste of some real beer a few times to mixed reactions, some he liked some he didn't. I casually commented that he should try something different, I suggested something from a smaller brewery that I knew he liked, "Nah, it's just easier to get these" he said.....WTF??? How is it easier to pick up one carton instead of the other?
Anyway, my point is, some people you will never change and that's why these arsehole megaswill breweries will always make money on their BUL products. I don't buy them, never really did, but have argued for quite some time that the price is unjustified for a locally brewed beer and will continue to tell everyone that I see drinking the stuff that they are being shit on amd taken for a mug.
people must be getting sick of drinking VB and Carlton etc. In fact it was that very reason that made me buy a homebrew kit back in 1995...

The first few shipments have been here about a month or so im told, so the bottles you now buy should be the imported stuff. It will say so on the label, and not have *brewed under license by CUB* or what ever. Hope this is pleasing news to some of the lads
