It's only a $5 charge after the voucher and one gets about 4-4.5 pint glasses out of 1 pitcher.

HicksRA Posted July 24, 2022 #30 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I thought the only reason they put twice as much Fosters in a can was because that’s the only way they could get people to buy it.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyCruiserUK Posted July 24, 2022 #32 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Fosters.....a good training larger, like stablizers on a bicycle, but gets you ready for the unique tastes of real ale, such as Spitfire real ale.......their advertising slogan was " Downed all over kent just like the Luftwaffe"😂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargassoPirate Posted July 24, 2022 #33 Share Posted July 24, 2022 13 hours ago, 2chiefs said: So, with the Diamond, Diamond+, and Pinnacle drink vouchers, my go to beer is now Fosters (Oil Can 25oz). It used to be about number 3 or 4 on my "faves" list but now that I have 5 vouchers per day (Diamond +) for drinks up to $13, it's now #1 on my list! I even purchased a nice Fosters koozie on Ebay to bring with me on my next cruise to keep it cold while hanging out in the hot tub.... It's like getting 10 drinks instead of 5 (if you like beer like I do). How long do you hang in the hot tub after drinking a Foster's or two? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cublet Posted July 24, 2022 #41 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Hello, I lived in Australia for a whole year, and went back probably three times a year for the next five years. In all that time I only saw Fosters served twice - and both of them to the same person. Being in Brisbane in rough order of consumption, was XXXX, VB, Swan & Tooheys. The last one is interesting. A male student, dressed in a Tu-Tu, did something (I cannot remember what) for which he was prosecuted - though it was only a minor infringement. Toohey's had a brew that was 2.2 strength so they got the student, in his Tu-tu promoting Toohey's 2.2 bitter. I cannot vouch for what any of these tasted like - good or bad.
