Foster’s beer drinkers in the UK will soon find their lager’s alcohol strength cut to 3.4%.
Heineken UK, which brews Foster’s, said cutting the alcohol strength from the current 3.7% would make the lager eligible for lower rates of alcohol duty.
The brewer hinted at cheaper pints saying “customers benefit from more competitive pricing” because of the lower tax charge.
The change is set to go into effect by February, marking the second time in three years that Foster’s alcohol percentage, or ABV, has been diluted.
Heineken UK said it was responding to changes in UK government policy, which have encouraged brewers to offer lower alcohol options.
What’s the difference between Foster’s and having sex in a canoe?
There’s none.
Both are fucking close to water.
You have to be such a dork to drink Foster’s. Or Heineken actually.
Australians don’t even actually drink that gross bullshit.
I’m going to Australia soon. What do you recommend?
James Squire 150 lashes, Furphy, Little Creatures, Boags Premium - are my personal favourites from major breweries
There’s also thousands of small independent micro brewers you can visit and some venues will stock a good variety of the local independents who make every type of beer imaginable: lagers, ales, stouts etc
Lot’s of water
I appreciate it ;)
A VB (Victoria Bitters) is a classic. I was a big fan of the Tooheys New (a regular lager) and especially the Tooheys Old (dark ale). It was one of only two dark beers I could find.
Ok. This is way worse than choco rations!
They also revealed their new slogan:
Foster’s: Australian for “tastes like your horse is pregnant”
No what the people want is beer flavored estrogen not estrogen flavored beer
That’s a beer that’s harder on the kidneys than the liver.
Loads of beers have been nerfed
Weak as piss mate. Weak as piss.
