Lunch (tuna sushi rolls and iced coffee for the curious) in hand, I’m walking back to the orifice, when a women stops me and asks if I want to do a beer survey. <\/p>\n

“Sure” I say, thankful that it’s not another dodgy charity asking me for money to clothe abandoned Albanian Shrimp Monkies or repaint the BMW’s of toppled dictators around the world.<\/p>\n

The survey focused on Carlton United Breweries, Tooheys and Hahn products with a couple of imports thrown in to put you off the scent.<\/p>\n

I used this 5-10 minutes of ours lives to dump on CUB beers while raving about Mountain Goat and Cooper’s products. I hope that’s acceptable to you all.<\/p>\n

The only downside? When I asked if she had samples.. the answer was a regretful “No”. I cried, she cried, it was tragic. <\/p>\n

The only television beer ad I could remember? The TONGUE ad<\/a> of course! I even managed to name the beer it was supposed to promote! I think the only reason I could recall it though was because I had read an article discussing the merits of grossing out a whole nation to promote a beer.. <\/p>\n

I’m sure the survey was an international conspiratorial plot to get me to attend the Goat open night tonight.. <\/p>\n
