No-one believes me when I tell them this, but Crown Lager and Fosters Lager are the SAME BEER!!! I find this amusing because no self respecting Aussie would be caught dead drinking a can of Fosters, but they will glady pay twice the price for a bottle of Crown. Crown Lager is simply a good batch of Fosters, (with respect to its specifications - colour, bitterness etc), that has been double filtered.
I challenge anyone to tell the difference between the two beers.
For example, there are no artificial colorings in any beer made by Carlton and United Breweries or the Fosters Brewing Group - they use caramel to adjust the color to the correct specification. Yes, they do use artificial hop extract, but it is only used to bring the batch of beer up to the correct bitterness specification. They actually use “Pride of Ringwood” hops in most of their brews. There is no “artificially” carbonated water used at all - yeast produces more than enough CO2.
Interesting.
Just now Chris reminded me just how much this company and their website both suck. I was looking for a link to a copy of stuffit expander the only bulk package from the company for the mac platform. It ended up taking me a good 10mins looking for it until i finally found it on my hard-drive here at home.
So for future reference here is the link to the lite expander version:
Stuffit Expander 10
I will also mirror it here for future reference, just incase the link changes.
