Anyone tried it? I picked up a box on the weekend, definitely not the worst beer going around. Good value too at $26.00 (4.0% alc). Handy to have in the fridge for those mates you don't want to waste your homebrew on.

Unfortunately I have had some Friday Night
It has a pic of a derro with a hammer and anvil on the bottle which looked surprisingly like GEORGE the CHEAPSKATE PISSANT of LION NATHANS Tooheys Red Label which should have sent warning signals immediately .
On further investigation it has a Tasmanian Map on the bottle which looks like it must have been brewed by Boags. Tasman Bitter is the same but Hammer and Tongs has a lower Alcohol content which by adding MORE WATER.
I DID NOT ENJOY THIS BEER AT ALL!! as a matter of fact this beer put me off beer this weekend , I would say its the worst beer i have had since LION NATHANS HAHN ICE BEER!! which is THE WORST BEER IN THE WORLD!!
Boags is certainly slipping by adding water to beer to reduce the alcohol content to pay less excise taxes. Instead of passing the savings onto the consumer they spend it on inane advertising.
Furthermore if I ever met the person responsible for this abomination I will go Hammer N' Tongs at them.

Never mind the purest water, no mention of malt and hops!
No bitter aftertaste, but does it taste of anything at all?
Smooth and refreshing, but then so is a glass of cold spring water on a hot day.
How do they define beer as good and honest?
Obviously the copy is written by some advertising agency, who are more into chardonnay than real beer?
Price looks good though.
Haven't tried it personally, so the beer may be OK. Just dismantling the advertising, as a pedantic enthusiast is bound to do.

I'd drink a Hammer n Tongs over a VB anyday. Mind you when I had it, it was free and after a 10 hour shift. My tastes buds may have been compromised.goatsby wrote:Iron-Haggis wrote:Yeah I've tried it. It's better than most of the megaswill and at a decent price.
