Fosters was very popular until that ad.

That’s what killed it. The beer actually isn’t that bad.

Jesus what more do you want? I cannot give more than this, it’s iconic.

Punch ‘shrimp on the barbie’ into google.

My apologies, I got my wires crossed on the ad.

Here’s one of the ones he did.

As an aussie in a town with a lot of pubs, I have yet to see a pub that actually has fosters on tap. Only a handful even served it at all, and they were in more touristy areas.

I did in the early 2000s. Haven't seen them in 20 years. But I'm from the goldie and we gave tourists ask for that shite.

Are you inland? It does seem that the coastal (perhaps more touristy cities) had Fosters available.

nagrom7 t1_jabmvq2 wrote on February 28, 2023 at 6:51 AM

Nah on the coast in North QLD. There's a handful of pubs around here that have Fosters available in cans/bottles, but none of them have it on tap.

Gotcha. Ages ago I visited SW coastal OZ, and it was the same thing, cans available in pubs, but not on tap.

Also, while on the topic of beer and travel and whatnot, I, as an American cannot believe how many other countries seem to want/ seem to enjoy Budweiser, it is basically the Fosters of America, and I could not be paid to drink it.

It's actually an imported beer. It's brewed in the UK because no one drinks it.

TIL it's so bad nobody local will brew it. ;)

I didn’t even know we still made it. Never seen it in a bottle shop or pub.

I dunno about Australia but a donk in these parts is a 71-76 impala.
