Sounds like something a green grenade lover would say, ironically that's the stuff that Belgian drinkers urinate.

I'll stick to asahi.

A staple of Australian culture for more than a century appears to be going soft in its old age.

Victoria Bitter, the nation's most popular beer, has been launched in a mid-strength version.

With its distinctive green label, VB has been a favourite of hard-drinking Australian men since 1894. Among its affectionate nicknames are Vitamin B, Very Best, the Jolly Green Giant and - for cans or "tinnies" - the Green Grenade.

Am I older then you guys?

Many moons a go I used to take a swig of my old man's grenades, than I grew up as did my taste bugs.

Good old VB, back to full strength at 4.9%.

Go hard or go home!

4.9% = full strength?

jeez i must be old, i can remember when the detuned xxxx for the world expo, down to only 6% alcohol!

that day i saw men cry, and swear off drinking this new 'poofters piss'

Not many Aussie beers are at near on 5%, mainly due to the tax....

Did anyone read the letter the disgruntled drinker send CUB?

[Gosling1]

not once in 50 years have I ever head VB called 'The Green Grenade'......

Vitamin B - that's what we always called it. I can't drink the shit anymore, and Melbourne Bitter is even worse.....

Cant drink it either any more, they did something wrong with it some time ago.

VB made half size stubbies early eighties (ideal for kids ) old style ring pull top and skull it quick then toss it, you could open another one before it hit the ground just like a grenade hence the nickname.

V@g!N@l backwash I think I have heard it refer as.

Which may lead to a loaded question.....what is the best beer you have tasted?

For me, when I was living in London, Carlsberg Export was the best on tap. In a can/stubby, Heineken for me.
