Foster's Lager
Railway Pl, North Melbourne.
This old billboard, on the side of the Railway Hotel (across the road from North Melbourne station) captures a moment in time that younger beer drinkers such as myself are still confused by. When exactly, after years of Foster's being THE australian beer of choice, did Victoria Bitter suddenly become de rigueur. And why? Actually, we know why - because Foster's tastes like horse urine. That's why it's now drink of choice only for old men, hobos and tourists.
