I think I would rather drink the flood-water than 4X 🙂
Unsecured, I notice. I wonder how far he’s have to dive if it tipped out?
FEEG – If one must drink lager as opposed to a decent pint of warm, flat English bitter, at least XXXX originated in Queensland unlike the reprehensible Foster’s, which, if you should dare to mention it, I would feel constrained to wash your mouth out with the equallly unpalatable VB. 🙂

The only way any lager is acceptable to drink is if it’s ice cold – and you might just as well drink ice-cold water, as far as taste is concerned.
(I do not include good German beers, so long as they are ‘nach dem reinheitsgebot gebraut.’)
Oh dear, Bravo –
To the dismay of German brewers, the Reinheitsgebot, with its narrow selection of ingredients, was struck down by the European Court in 1987 — as a restraint of free trade. The restrictions it contained were held not permissible in the newly integrated European market.
What I really want to know is does it assuage the need of crocodiles to eat one?
Can you open a tin in a civilised manner and pour it down the throat of said beast?
And it paddles off happily to consume a poisonous snake instead?
If not, sod it, bring on the claret!
Admirable sentiments, Christina!
Quite right, Bearsy, but,
German brewers, however, still adhere fiercely to the Reinheitsgebot as a matter of pride and tradition. German beer labels and advertisements still proudly proclaim the purity of the local brew, and many a German imbiber would not think of letting anything but a “pure” beer pass his or her lips.

If you think that English ale is warm and flat, you must have a very poor memory of the good ol’ U of K. Freshly pulled real ale at cellar temperature is the ideal way to drink beer. If you must go for lager, then the Belgian stuff is the best by far.
