Australian Beer Club

Post by Anzac Cookies »

Hey , is anyone else a member of the Australian Beer Club ?? You get 4 x 6 Packs of various Microbrews from Australian Mircobrewers every quarter (seasonal tastes). I joined it at the last Good Food Show in Melbourne, had my first delivery, not bad at all. Just seeing who else has subscribed so when the next delivery comes i can compare notes with others :shock:

I recently cancelled my subscription after they sent me Chopper Heavy & a few other questionable selections.

Heh. I was at one of my favourite shottlebops today and saw these little containers with Chopper's ugly mug on them.
Turns out they were flavoured peanuts.
Saw the poster on the way out: "Don't be a knob. Eat Chopper's Nuts." :?

Shit I wish I knew about that earlier. I could have washed some of Choppers nuts down with a few Chopper Heavies whilst playing the Chopper board game - http://www.chopperreadthegame.com/
f--- that reminds me I need to sign up to the newsletter so that I'm up to date on all things 'Chopper.'

...nah I think I'd rather just be a knob.

Back to the beer club. I agree some of the other selections were great (the Hargraves Hill Pale, Feral White, Bluetongue Pils, Crackenback Pale, Bootleg & Jamiesons beers are a few that spring to mind) but I felt they were starting to go a little downhill (read: aimed at "premium" beer drinkers)
& the recent 'winter' offering of watery pale ales & lagers was the last straw.
