Since there really isn't much going on here in this thread and it is Australia based, allow me to share that, after many years, I found the Toohey's Old equivalent (or damn close) here in Santa Rosa.

1 - Appreciate the lead.

2 - Now need a recommendation to a USA approximation to Sheaf Stout.

Let me get this straight, someone who is in favor of all of the authoritarian mandates due to covid is now calling Australia authoritarian for doing what you agree with? And the only reason you have a problem with it is because they're conservative?
You know what makes you the biggest clown here?
Constantly repeating that a public health emergency is some kind of “authoritarianism”.
Dumb af.

emergency is a bit of a stretch donchathink? 99% + of people who contract the china flu survive, fatties and oldies being the vast majority of those who croak
So fück those 600000 who died because they're "oldies" and "fatties"?

I presume you don't have any "oldies" in your family?
Do you talk like that in front of them, kook?

You're the one who started this thread. How much hubris to you have to think someone is going to go to Google based on incoherent mumblings?
Point taken leaving aside the incoherent mumbling, one of these years I am going to learn to link articles

that total died with COVID not necessarily from it.
I have fatties and oldies in my family. Me mum had it and survived at 60 yrs old, she's not the spitting image of health and wellness either. Know of many other 40+ who survived also. The hysteria has to stop about the severity of the chance of death from covid, it's a form of control to keep you fearful and obedient. Remember numbers don't lie, people do. 99%+ :shaka:

Did you get your shot?

The problem is treating the sick has a REALLY high resource cost.

Not like car deaths.

What is 1% of 250 million?

Also, you got to factor in long haul and the cost of that to the society.

Please feel to mischaracterize me as being afraid if that makes you feel better.

PS, I'm your moms age,

Was she hot back in the day?:waving::dancing:

When you get old your ability to derive pleasure out of eating is compromised.

Please pass the bugs.

It might be that I am fat too.

What country? I wish I was not in the US.
Suid Afrika. Masks still a thing down here, I put in on to enter a shop and that's it. Seems like it's pretty much back to normal stateside in that regard.

I had plenty of Carlton's down there but not their Sheaf Stout.

To the breweries! :cheers:

Dear Old Dad said that somewhere in the late 80s/early 90s, they changed the recipe and not for the better.

But he also said this about Bohemian and Olympia in the 1970s.

Also, Sweetie-pie thought the Sheaf Stout changed in the 90s.....I defer to those with better sense of "taste".
