New from Minnesota

ill add my welcome - from a fellow minnesotan , i answered this query on another site so ill let my response stand and allow the knowledgeable here tell you what they think and see how it compares 

Rotten Aussies! Boy, its easy to tell the "Spirit of Christmas" is over already!
Its the ABOs that are the civilized ones!
"MASCOT" indeed! I hope your TOOHEY'S NEW curdles.
    
Hoadie

I second the motion to have Hoadie and two cross Enfields as the new board crest.

Tony can you start a poll on this?

You never know, I might be one of them civilised ones.
I wouldn't touch tooheys new, I only drink proper beer and scotch and they never last long enough around here to curdle.
Any way, on thinking about it, I think you would make a fine mascot for our forum, 2 votes for Hoadie.

i dont drink fosters , but if your offering , i seldom turn down a beer , ill vote for hoadie , gotta stick by my fellow far northerners , 

It's a Queensland beer and I am led to believe that the reason it's called XXXX is because the Queenslanders couldn't spell beer.

I was always led to believe that the xxxx's represented barbed wire and that was the sensation in your rear next morning........as if it was being rapidly pulled out.

Lithgow..you shouldn't be dissing Castlemain Perkins brewery like that.
I have the FULL XXXX Gold Beach Cricket ensemnble.(Matching shirts-with name on back), zippered bottle cozy, flip-flops..hat.
I never found it to be so bad. So what you drinkin..VB?
...& I rather like TOOHEY'S NEW, as well. I do have a question tho...Who told the French they make a good beer?
That stuff HAS to be the worst!
Few years back, they did a limited run of THREE STOOGES beer. It was darn good too! Wish I hadda saved more of the empties
Oh well
