Strangely, it did not include as one of the steps "Pour our product down the drain and git yerself a homebrew"...

Beer is never better than when it is delivered from the brewer. It does not improve with age; in fact, over time it will lose some of the crispness of it's flavour. So, for the perfect beer, choose a bottle that hasn't been hanging around the house too long.

That's for pasteurised beer. No yeast present to further condition it or mop up oxidants.

yeah, i guessed that... but it's pretty broad advice to give, considering the more 'connoiseur' style beers - hoegaarden etc - have live yeast in them.

Yeah, but most manufacturers consider their beer to be the ONLY beer, don't they?

Most mass manufacturers, yeah.

It also serves to show that you can tell a Fosters drinker absolutely anything and they will believe it.

'Bring the glass to your lips and inhale gently to take in the aroma of the beer. This will awaken your tastebuds to the flavours that are to follow. Then sip, letting the cool beer flow over the tongue so you savour the full complexity of the flavour. Perfect!"
