They took out a full page ad in the Adelaide Advertiser letting us all know of their stuff up, and now they intend to correct it.

Hehehe... it only takes me one drink to get drunk, trouble is I can never remember if it is the 11th one or the 12th one... I remember my dad being a religious Reschs Pilsener drinker, until they changed the location of where they brewed it, which changed the taste (different water source), and he never touched it again. Gee I hope Coopers never moves out of Adelaide... actually, the only way I can stomach Adelaide tap water is when it comes out of a bottle with a red or green label.

Love the former customer's letter  ;D

I love VB, as a mower man, i find its really good as weed spray/poison.

For a drink, Carlton Dry, now there is a beer.
Pure Blonde is pretty good too, but thats the wife.  :D

I used to drink from the fountain of VB...... until that fountain turned into a cesspool!! Might have to give it another crack now they've come to their senses.
