Fosters, Australian for Beer - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I seem to recall that Fosters isn't exactly the preferred beer down under, and the Fosters that I buy in the US hasn't been made in Australia for a couple of decades, but they switched again.

It has been coming from Canada and was pretty good. I just bought a few cans tonight and they say "OIL CAN BREWERIES, ALBANY GA AND FORT WORTH TX."

Tastes weaker than the Canadian can that I just finished. I swear, Americans just don't know how to make beer.

Its ok, I never drink it unless their is nothing else around.

I prefer Heineken, but when we go on camping/drinking camps I usualy drink Bud light because thats what everyone else drinks and it goes down like water.

Yes a 24 pack is for personal consumption.

As my old friend Bill Jaensch (an Aussie) sez: "Fosters, Australian for Budwieser."

Actually, if it's made in Ft. Worth, it comes from the Miller brewrey.

I like Heineken, but it gets to me the next day far worse than Fosters. It's really not so bad on myself, but anyone sharing the room would wish that I drank something else.

I'm under the impression that they drink real beer down there; just not Fosters. Fosters sure isn't much like Bud.

Sam Adams gives me a wicked hangover, even when I only drink a couple of them. Something about Sam Adams gets me.

Although its rather good going down..mmm..beer...

Everyone at scholl drinks that Red Dog sewer water.

Its the king of hobo beers!
