We visiting Australia a few years ago, we were quite surprised how lowly regarded Foster's is. They have their own horse piss beers in Oz, but Foster's was regarded as the bottom of the heap. They also have a lot of good beers there, but what we term in our part of the world as "craft beers", the Aussies refer to as "boutique beers".
The last time this shit was sold in Oz was back in the 80's when Crocodile Dundee was big in the US. I've never actually seen this beer sold here in Oz that we refer to as "cat's piss". Maybe in the US the correct term is "horse piss". So I'm apologising on behalf of all Ozzies for unleashing this shit on the rest of the world, we like to keep the best beer down under here for ourselves.
And just to add, the worst beer usually comes from the Netherlands.
Interesting timing on this. Many years ago I tried Victoria Bitter, while stationed on Okinawa of all places, and liked it. Never have been able to find it since. I do see Foster's occasionally. We have a local Australian eatery (The Australian Bite) that sells Foster's in a green can. I asked the Australian lady who owns the place if she knows where I can find VB, and she pointed to the green can Foster's and said, "that's it". Any truth to this? Is VB disguised in a green Foster's can?
