I’ll just briefly point out that most Australians have the same opinion/affection for Fosters that SDMB writers have recently expressed for Bud Light (politics aside - I’m just talking about taste - or lack of - here). Fosters is not even an Australian beer anymore - it’s brewed in Texas these days. UK, USA and Canada are all far bigger markets for the ~~pigswill~~ amber nectar these days. ---

> [@Wallaby](#): > > UK, USA and Canada are all far bigger markets for the ~~pigswill~~ amber nectar these days. Canada, eh? I resemble that remark! Canadians have a refined taste for beer, which is why craft microbreweries abound here, eh? A good Canadian would no sooner drink a Fosters or a Bud Light than a Bloody Mary instead of a Caesar! 😉 ---
