courteneyfish: 4% is full strength to Australians? Pfftt!
As Alanti said ditto on Beer strengths and I concur you would be hard pushed to find 4x even sold in a pub here. Maybe the article was written by a POME LOL..I can say that as I am one:)..When the Ashes is played the boys (my sons) support Aussie lol, and my daughter does not care she says.
Funny when I was back in Blighty only last year the amount of people that assumed we drink 4X or Fosters here was amazing. Fosters would probably be second only to to the hardly seen 4X.
Anyway Carlton Draught (4.6%) is enough for me, but then in the UK Black Label is fine also. A slab of either would see me out for a long time:)
Tenants Super. Does any one still drink that LOL. Think I tried it once and wow not nice syrup. Many great beers there but that stuff OMG LOL..makes Stella look like lemonade.
