ALCOHOL!

[JJCRU23R]

Gday all...

I would just like to ask if anyone in here would know exactly how to import beer from overseas?

How come some beers can be imported from overseas (ie. corona, budweiser etc), while other beers seem impossible to find.

How do you go about getting your favourite foreign alcohol to Australia without having to ask a friend to bring some back with them when they go overseas??

Basically what it comes down to is... I MISS MY RED HORSE BEER.

Its a filipino beer thats apparently around 10% alcohol. goes down like water, has little/no head on it, and a little bit can get you plenty typsy.

Its nothing like aussie beer. Nothing wrong with aussie beer, I love my Crown, my New, my Cold, my VB... but they do make me feel bloated sometimes. I'd just like some more variety when it comes to my choice of beer!

Another drink I wish was in the stores is TANDUAY RUM... another drink from the Philippines that just remindz me of home.

The only filipino beer Ive seen in Australia is San Miguel... which is OK... but Id take the red horse over san mig any day of the week... (well id only drink once a week anyway.. if im not working the next day).

so yea.. i know ive only talked about filipino alcohol, but if you have any insight into how you or someone you know has gotten ANY foreign beer not readily available in our local bottlo, would be worth knowing about.

I wouldn't mind sinking some of that. Personally the best beer I've sunk to date is a Hoegarden. You can get that here, but sometimes it's stupidly hard to find.

Some of the foreign brands you see are produced under licence in Australia, so aren't actually imported at all.

Obviously not the Philo ones but you get my point

yea i kinda knew that too.. 4got bout that before but yea that must explain why some beers taste different when you drink it overseas.

that red horse comes in 1000ml bottles.. why cant beers be sold like that here?

hehe yea my brother brought one of those at home when he took a round trip round the country with his mate in his FRP... (mid wheelbase removable hard top version of my old landcruiser bundera.)

im not saying you CANT get 1L bottles here, but your not likely to find a crown lagar in a 1L bottle! thats what i meant.. why cant that be a more regular standard size?

Because theres too many hippies who whinge about alcohol consumption in this country?
