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.
Take them to a party stick it em in the ice and then drink the good stuff that someone else brought.
Sure as hell has happened to me before ![]()
At the end of the night some despo will drink it.
swap it at local - that stuff will killl you. It used to be better 10 years ago. Doesnt really stack up to a Becks or Corona does it.![]()
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.
now ka 43 are you seriously telling me that no one you know likes flat sugary p1ss with a little bit of hops flavour?
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.
have a BBQ saying b.y.o, when everyone else brings good beer drink theirs, there is always someone who will drink anything, when you drink all their beer. they will drink what ever is left, your VB will be no longer, well most of it.
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.
If you want find out the cheapest beer in your neighbourhood - www.boozle.com.au
VB only tastes good when you're doing a funnel or if they're cans, a shot gun. It doesn't matter if you waste it either!
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![]()

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.
