Foster's Lager

At 36 you would have thought that I would have grown up. But oh, no I still like to believe that I am still 18 years old. Is this why I never ever drink wine or the occasional G&T? Maybe. Instead my drink of choice is a nice cold lager. I think that this is probably due to the fact that from the age of 19-31 I ran pubs and at the end of a hard night, a nice cold pint would go down a treat. Now there are loads of different lagers out there. You can chose from a premium one, a weak one, one flavoured with lime, shops own brand, an extortionately over priced bottled one, or if you are like me why ... more

Ever had a mouth that was so dry your tongue stuck to the roof of your mouth every time you tried to swallow? Maybe you were just so thirsty that the sweat running down Rab C Nesbitt's armpits would have looked inviting enough to try? You haven't? Must just be me! Anyway just in case you have I would like to suggest you try Australia's Famous Beer FOSTER'S. If you want a beer that will hit the spot when the spot takes some hitting pick Foster's and rest assured your thirst will be quenched. Today just before the world cup I was at another boot sale. Jackie wanted some new plants for the back ... more

How could what the Aussies refer to as "Australian for Beer" and what accounts for 55% of Australian beer sales, possibly have been invented by two Irishmen? Well facts are facts and it is clearly listed on Fosters Homepage at www.fosterbeer.com, that two Irishmen, with the surname of Foster, started the Foster Brewing Company in Australia in 1888. These two Irishmen were originally from America and they have brought with them the brewing skills to mass produce lager beer. After a few years, due to lack of capital, they sold their company to a local syndicate that has risen to become the ... more

I quite enjoy a pint of lager now and again when I am out with friends and have tried out many brands and types over the years. My fondness for the refreshing drink has led to me buying a variety of canned and bottled lagers to enjoy whilst at home, and one brand that I buy regularly is Foster's, which is a popular Australian lager. Foster's is widely available to buy in good off license shops as well as supermarkets (such as Asda and Tesco) and grocery stores. I recently bought a box containing twelve cans - which are 440ml in size - for around £7 in a local off license store, and it seems to ... more

I’m no Beer expert. I can’t tell you what strength a certain beer or lager is. There are those Real Ale Buffs who can cite the ‘original gravity’ and the type of hops used to brew that certain beer – plus the history of the micro brewery that it comes from. Sorry, that’s not me. I go on what I fancy. If it tastes good and really ‘hits the spot’ that’s for me! And with that as far as I’m concerned nothing hits MY Spot better than the Amber nectar – Foster Lager (apart from Fosters Ice, if course, but that’s another story ... more
