Got given a case of VB stubbies for a quick contra thing at work. Stupid me didnt specify and the guy didnt ask.
Now I have nothing major against VB but it has to be shared with my staff. Thing is, no bugger wants it.
What do I do??
Take the case and swap it for something else at the bottle-o??
Just let it sit there and gather dust??
Any "normal" suggestions would be appreciated.
Want to see what you guys would do[}:)]

sell it to the kids down at the local high school for more than a carton of VB is worth. then go buy good stuff!!!

Pour it into a glass.

Seriously I don't see what the big deal is, I doubt many 'vb haters' could actually tell you which beer is VB, given three schooners of different brands.

Most VB haters would be either coughing their guts up or under the table after three schooners.

True. I usually only buy top-shelf imported beer (just less of it). I can remember a few special beers in my life. One of them was on a 35 degree day after cutting down a few trees and loading into a flat bed. That VB will remain with me forever.

Wait till it's stinking hot when Aussie beer is at its best.

agree, or chill it to rediculous cold.

Think of all the millions of sober people in Africa...drink up and count your blessings!

Think of what you would do with a schooner full of wombat piss.

Then do the same thing. Down the drain.

I once had to get rid of a running, licensed Holden Gemini. Stuck a sign on the back window saying "will swap for carton of beer". Before I got to work I had 3 offers.

Maybe stick your VB on the side of the freeway with a sign saying "will swap for Holden Gemini"

actually that was a few years ago so you could could maybe get up to a Daewoo or something now

Love Coopers, but no cheaper than imported now. Too many "cool" people drinking it these days. I always said that Corona is Mexican VB, but if its real cold theres nothign better on a late Summer afternoon whilst standing anywhere near a barbie after a day on the water.

Becks is just a nice crisp clean flavour.

Basically I dont care where it comes from or how much it costs - its how it tastes. I know people who love VB, just not me. Wherever you get it, however much it costs, you've gotta enjoy it.

Gee, thanks fella's.
Your replies have probably started another "local vs imported" flame on.
Mark, your so close. I had a Gemini panel van which I sold to a crim (didnt know then) for $700 and a case of Carlton Draught. Probably shouldve just taken the beer.
Greeny, Offhand, I cant think of anyone. Want to swap for a case of your lovely XXXX??
I love Aussie beers, just not a big fan of Vitamin Bee.
Ill swap it.

serve it to the inlaws

Coopers Pale ale $62 for two cartons at the local Sip'n'save.
37.99 at the local bottlo.

I bought a carton at the Parnania bottlo in Sydney while staying with relos's a year ago or so and it was $52 then

Sparkling ale $39.99 on special regularly here

It's not the cool people that drink it in SA - it's people that like the taste of local beer - the Squires stuff is great but costs a premium here as well

Carona - $58 carton - Becks $52 Both tasteless beers that are so overated - the advertisers must be laughing their heads off - my home brew used to taste better

My beer mantra
"if the beers clear - steer clear"

I can see that out of 23 replies, not one was from Victoria.
They are a bit bitter there...

You should drink Cascade and Boags ! Well, and Coopers of course.
My favorite idea is definitely the BYO BBQ.

VB brewed in Victoria is good. VB brewed in Queensland is crap.

I have found in NSW the VB in 750ml bottles is probably from Victoria and all the other stuff, including kegs is probably brewed at that place between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, Yatla or something like that.

But I'd rather drink a crap local beer than some crap foreign beer that took six months to get here.

At least VB is better than Emu Bitter I think licking a toads back would taste better than Emu.
Anyway scotch or bourbon for me

............... or did you mean Victoria Beckham

Obviously the last guy had the right idea and offloaded the case to you. Now you wait till some unsuspecting person does you a favour worth rewarding and hey presto case has a new home (and if the guy actually likes that ****e then you look like a top bloke. Else he posts similar question an another forum.
