HALE & PACE Aussie Pubs

Hale and Pace were huge in Australia. I was a kid and absolutely loved this, Full Frontal/Fast Forward, and Married with Children.

[@davemustaki134]

[@voxac30withstrat]

I worked for Tooths/Resches, Fabulous job (until the F$@#ing greedy unions stuffed it) then CUB took over and believe me they do NOT make beer. I was there for 8 years as an electrical technician and my wife was the Senior Microbiologist. It is utter pigs urine. Once CUB took over they changed EVERYTHING. Basic brew with a ship load of chemicals put in it. Crown Lager is just Fosters in what we used to call the Hollywood Bottle. FACT. Great marketing idea though. Was the only way to get people to drink Fosters. Sucked in idiots. Melbourne Bitter is VB with a teaspoon of caramel in it to change the colour and VB has 37 chemicals in it. ANYTHING that comes from those cretins should be illegal to call it beer. Same as that bulls balls sweat Corona. OMG why do people drink that pus?@@MrSquigeon
