It's not good. Don't sell it at the huge liquor store I work at. Sometimes they'd do a promotion and be like "it's back! Classic Foster's!" And it would sell okay but that's because dumb hipsters bought it to collect.

The primary market of Fosters is in the UK, and the selling point was that it was 'imported'.
If they just made it in the UK nobody would have bought it.

Most of the beer is made by international brewing companies even if they are based in one place or other.

Based. Ausfag here. Went to the UK on a bender a few years ago-only drank Fosters at every pub as a meme. Was not well after that trip.

Emu Bitter. Wow. *The bush chook!:*

It is actually the best beer in the world. Most beers need to be cold, export is far better nice and hot, to get the perfect temperature is simple: place block in boot of car, drive crew to location on a hot day, serve directly from boot. True perfection. One of the rare occasions where cheaper is better, export remains, at certain outlets, $1 a can by the block (stubbies are for poorcuuunts).

As us Aussies say!
'cheer cheer the red and white'
'honour the emu by day and by night'
'put your red can up real high'
'PUNCH YOUR MISSUS IN THE EYE'

You just aint aussie if you dont love this beer, your just as bad as those foreigners that wash up on our shore.
