Any famous beer that is associated with a country is usually shit.... Like molson canadian, fosters, or bud light
It took me a while to realize guinness falls firmly into this category as well
When you have built a brand reputation, you don't have to care about actual quality.
I think it was good beer 100 years ago.
I don't think Fosters is associated with a country. Maybe Japan or England.
it was marketed here (north america) as an australian beer... i think their slogan was "australian for beer" at some point. also parodied heavily in the simpsons episode in australia...
never heard of any associations with japan or england
Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn't been Australian for decades.
Asahi have been buying up all of Australia's breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.
Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.
It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don't think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.
Don't those three breweries own, like, every brewery?
Haha that's what I was poking at. You won't find it on tap in an Australian pub. I don't even see it in bottle shops.
For a while it was in the international section of one of the big liquor stores. Thought that was funny.
Yeah in the US the slogan was “its Australian for beer, mate.”
And the joke was “it’s Australian for piss, mate.”
For just an average macro brew lager, I don’t think it’s that bad.
I also associate Sapporo with Japan, which again is not bad for that type of beer.
Sapporo is my go too plain beer. It's not that it's a great beer, but it's one of the few mainstream brands that doesn't taste like mostly sugar. If you can find the imported stuff in the funky can that's shaped like a glass it's way better than the North American made stuff.
The tagline in the U.S. was "Foster's, Australian for beer" for like 2 decades at least.
It had an Australian flag on the can.
