I know the guy who runs the shop, perhaps I could organise a TWF beer tasting night if there is sufficient interest :)Quote:

The search for the world's worst beer is anything but, and I am in the unhappy position of reporting that I know exactly where to find it.
Driving across from Sydney to Perth in 1986 I had occasion to stop at a pub in Adelaide with a big white horse outside it on a stinking hot summer day, and mistakenly ordered up a middy of the local draught brew, West End.
God it was awful. You wouldn't wash your socks in this stuff, even though it tastes as though someone already has.
It should be illegal -- it's not fit for human consumption and it would be cruelty to animals to feed it to the livestock.
good thing you didn't try the Southwark, it's worse ... :puke_r:
All decent drinking houses [in South Australia] have Coopers Sparkling on tap. One such place was the Exeter Hotel on Rundle Street in Adelaide, where the barkeep once chastised me for ordering "same again". I soon learnt that you should not ask for the "same again", as this was impossible - every beer is distinct and unique, be it in the same glass or from the same tap, you should instead request "something similar"
Happy, TIF, If you do plan a beer tasting night, and i`m working away that week, well, there will be one very very very unhappy frontrower left to stew up north. And TLH, no matter how many pints you airmail me, it still wouldn`t make me feel any better. So, please consult me when deciding on a date, please......(insert sad frontrower begging)
And Rick, You`re right, it is like all the dogs in adelaide has pee`d in a bottle, along a wall at the brewery, just so happened it was the West End
Relax Frontrow, your grovel has been noted.
Was it that obvious???
