Picked up a 1L can of this beer and it came with a nice 1L glass stein. The beer is... drinkable, definately better than most megaswill!
Was $13 at Bottle-O here in QLD. Most Bottle-O's should have them (I got one in Rocky and one here in Bundy).
Here are some photos:

Thats a damn fine Mo Kev. Tom Selleck would be proud!

A second might have had me asleep in the corner to be fully honest. A full litre of 4.5% beer in 20 minutes leaves you tired for the rest of the night
Thanks Doc but I do not think anyone could do the mo as well as our friendly casino owner!

Not a great pour Kev. Looks like an inch below the mark

Ha! You have a go then
The can is bloody useless, the opening is way too small for a can of that size, you either have to dump it as fast as you can or it will run down the side of the can and onto the floor. (yes I do know from experience...)

Sorry Kev, but canned beer just doesn't work for me- even if it's good beer. I'd drink out of plastic in preference to aluminium.

I agree Chris, but I was paying for the stein, the beer was a bonus. Like I said it was drinkable, and for a cheap import with a slight aluminium taste I actually enjoyed it.

Yeah, the stein always seals the deal!
I got one with a 6-pack of DAB. I'm waiting for them to run that promo again.

I think this is further proof that beer puts things into perspective.
In this case, a giant beer makes the holder look small in comparison - perspective. I rest my case.
Hmmm, need a beer after that.

Yeah, it certainly is decieving considering I am 6'2" and 165 lbs (not sure what that is in metric). I am not a large guy but certainly not as small as the photos make me out to be!
There is something special about drinking from a 1L stein though. You just feel like you could conquer the world

About average I guess. Though quite a few of those kilos have materialised since I quit smoking and started AG brewing
It is so hard to stop drinking when it tastes so bloody good!

I wouldn't worry about it, your
BMI is 21, which is well and truly within the healthy range of 18-25. Mine is 26, which means I have to lose about 5 kilos, also thanks to the brewing (and
breaking a bone).

Yeah I remember you doing that. Hows it healing for ya?

We've always known that you were average Kev

Yeah, it's returned to full strength now, but it still has a spiky bit sticking out of it (permanently). If you look at the xrays, just imagine the bones not moving at all, but there is now a glob of bone connecting the two ends together.
So get private health insurance, kids.

As long as I can lift a keg I will be fine
My brother broke a collar bone when we were kids, he managed to break a leg and the other collar bone last month jumping 3 feet down off a house boat into a mud flat. He just landed wrong I guess. These things always seem to happen at the oddest times without any explaination. I bet if he did that jump 1000 more times he wouldn't get so much as a bump or bruise.
I insure everything because I know the second I am over confident and let slip is when something bad will happen. Maybe I am just bitter, cynical and jaded but life seems to work like that most of the time.
