Budweiser (US)
Budweiser announces itself as the ‘King of Beers’. Readers of this blog may recall that this correspondent fervently sang the praises of Tooheys New as said King. I am obviously more than a little enamored to that product and have …
Tooheys New
New Tooheys New. ‘Nough Said. This my friends is the King of Beers. You can parade your boutiques, 330mls, 345mls, heavily scented offerings, fancy labellings, variations of glassed packaging, ostentatious display, poetically licenced claptrap, enamouring to foreign lands and associated …

Woolies + Microbrewery doesn’t add up
BotF spotted Dry Dock Premium Lager just before Christmas, but has only just been able to lay its hands on a sample today. Simply put, the wait was not worth it. I remember the Sail & Anchor being one of …
This is more like it – Barons Pale Ale
The brave boys at Barons, the same lads who import “Lucky Beer”, are at their best when producing a local drop. Their Pale Ale is a great whip with a nice little malty ‘bite’. Their website rabbits on about guava …
