They're trying to distract from the fact they're owned by LN, which is in turn owned by a Japanese brewery.

^^^ This plus it's shite beer anyway. Give me a Coopers.

Although they have got us talking about it, so as far as they're concerned it's a winner ad.

Not so, we may be talking about it, but we sure as hell aren't buying the product - which is the real goal.

May as well say "We have a chip on our shoulder!" That CAN'T be a South Australian made ad.
It's been around for a while, I think West End is still stuck in the 1990s with their continuous cringe-worthy SA vs Victoria adverts

Not to mention West End is horrible. Coopers is SA's main beer these days

You guys do know that SA wine is about a million times better than our beer? I couldnt possibly think of any good reason for anyone to think otherwise.

out of all the cringeworthy West End ads, this one I find quite amusing

BTW, one of the original Irish pubs - the Brecknock, is closing its doors after tonights NYE celebrations. They havent really updated it much apart from the beer garden renovation, and despite its ferals, its sad to see a historic pub close down. Ive heard it maybe turned into a restaurant with Asian theme

Yes, you are correct. Although i can't recall where i heard the news. Here's a historical factoid - the Brecknock used to be called the 'Brecon Arms' (way before our time). I think the backpacker accomm next door is called the Brecon Inn - unsure if it was part of the recent sale.

Here's a German song called 'Sieben Tage Lang' by BOTS, translated into English!.

What shall we drink,
seven days,
what we drink,
such a thirst.
There will be enough for all,
we drink together,
roll the barrel inside,
we drink together,
not alone.

Then we want,
seven days,
Then we want,
to come and touch!
And that is not drudgery,
together we create,
seven days,
yes this together,
not alone.

Now we have to strike,
no one knows how long,
yes to a life without coercion
Then the frustration us no longer small,
we stick together,
no one fights alone
we go together
not alone.

Try the stuff at the Lobethal Bierhaus and the beers by Beard and Brau (especially Bon Chien, their farmhouse ale) before making claims like that.

Does anyone know where the Brecknock is?
