Hi there. This is my first message in this chat site.

how about Carlton? I quite fancy the Carlton Draught



plus a bit of Tooheys OLD is good every once in a while.

[TITAN]

good to see the portland hotel is in the list. thanks

[froggy]

Isn't tooheys OLD just a copy of Carlton BLACK? <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

wow i didn't know there was so many breweries in victoria. i haven't heard of most of them. though i have gone to that three degrees place but i just ordered draught so i don't know what their three degree beer tastes like <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

there is a nice beer sold in ALDI supermarkets called "MVP". Its made in Victoria but I am not sure which brewery makes it.

[Guest]

Hi Marco,



My suspicion is that it's the Geelong Brewery (who according to the list above supposedly have a new name) but I've not had it confirmed.
