I'm told 55 kegs have made their way into NSW & are being put on at selected venues for 1 day only. Keep an eye out for it.

I'm suffering from over indulgence on it last night.

Ohh you poor interstaters. The stuff is like gold. If you can get a vintage stout then buy the whole shop out it's gooood.

I paid $8 for 4 bottles of Coopers Vintage Ale some time ago. Gotta love the liquor store discount bin.

Reckon if I rocked up to the pub with my transfer line and corny they'd fill it for for me?

Cheers,
Greg

Well, they might, but they'd be charging you somewhere around $5 a pot, that'd be, what:

19L/285mL=66 pots. 66*$5 = $330.

Have fun with that!

Oh yes. So good that I've since found out that I probably had a few more than I suspected. I've been told (by some Carlton drinkers present at the time) of certain events that transpired of which I have absolutely no recollection....

Which explains the boxes of Thai food & 3 empty Coopers glasses that I found in my loungeroom the next morning

Warning: drink it with caution

7.5% beers (at $4.60 for 330ml BTW) all afternoon can take it's toll

From what I recall of the early afternoon tastings we thought that it had no real standout malt or hop flavours. It was well balanced with the alcohol notes in that respect. The major standout character that all agreed on were bananaery esters.

Sounds like my type of afternoon

Eventfull to say the least, ill have to deffinately try and find it now

Never seen it on tap, but I've never heard of Vintage ale on tap either.

I saw this advertised in the local paper last year. A pub in Wollongong had three kegs on tap for one Sunday arvo only. Unfortunetly I couldn't make it.

Cortez The Killer · Friday Jan 19, 2007 2:20 pm

Hey Chunk

Which pub?

They might be here again this year!
