Have you tried that shit they call "great northern"?

I had a huge house party back in the late 90s when at uni. Filled the bathtub with ice, bought 4 cases of the cheapest beer I could get to make sure people didn't go without even though it was byo. Party was huge. Band in backyard, cops coming, fence pailing going in the fire huge. About 3am we ran out of beer and so it wound down and everyone crashed out or went home.

Got up in the morning and there was at least two cases worth of this beer still in the tub. Went out back to pick up all the empties and almost every opened can of this beer was still almost full but had been abandoned.

This beer was so utterly bad that a bunch of rowdy drunk brike uni students wouldn't even drink it!

That beer was Tasman Bitter.

I also drink XXXX as my daily, and love a XXXX bitter if I can get it. I really consider myself very flexible and will drink pretty much anything, from lagers, to black beer, to wheat beer.

I however cannot do Carlton, that shit literally makes me wanna puke. No idea why as I'll drink pretty much everything. It's actually really frustrating cos Carlton is buying every bar up near where I am and often it's hard to find any alternative.

Swan Lager was pretty "special" back in the day.
