Spot On!!
As an American who had the pleasure of living in Canberra for a couple of
years, let me say that to this day one has to travel far and wide to beat
the taste of a cold VB (Victoria Bitter). I think Aus is like the UK, in
that they export their worst beers. They must be getting the last laugh
thinking about all the Americans gulping down that swill that any decent
Aussie or Brit would have nothing to do with. A mate of mine in Canberra
thought he was doing me a favour by surprising me with a six-pack of
Budweiser for Christmas. He never drank the stuff but imagined it to be a
really great beer. This was based upon TV and movies. Being polite, I
graciously accepted his gift and we both say back to "enjoy" a cold Bud
under the summer sun. After throwing back half the can, he slowly turned
his head to me and remarked that "it isn't that good, it is!" I laughed my
head off. I whole-heartedly agreed! We tossed the Bud into the bin and
went back to VB!!
LBC content. Pub crawls. It's more fun when you arrive at a place that
serves a decent brew.

San Diego, Ca ... heading to Melbourne, home of VB!
