Craig’s tasting
With the 2009 London G20 summit winding up, what better time to do a review on Kingfisher. As the world teeters on the brink of financial implosion, beer sales continue to rise. Unfortunately while this is the case India will be doing well to hang on to its G20 seat if they keep producing below benchmark beers.
Unfortunately the brewers at United Breweries seem to have missed the fact that producing average beer was never cool. And just like men wearing bike shorts while not in the saddle on the tour de France is in fact offensive to most people.
To be fair the beer i was forced to taste was an Australian (brewed under licence version). While I will never avoid an Australian made beer dressed up as an imported beer I am sure i would rather have the crap beat out of me by a drunk leprechaun then grind out a session on Australian brewed Kingfisher Lager.
I try to cook the occasional butter chicken or Rogan Josh and every time I do it turns out shit. Believe it or not its got nothing to do with the fact I am not a trained chef or the fact that I have never been taught to cook a curry, its because I cooked it in Australia with Australian made ingredients. The other problem is that I have less Indian in me than the a steakhouse on $10.00 rump steak night.
It is at this point that I am going to beg Kingfisher to start importing its Lager to Australia rather than producing it here. I know you can do better than this. I want to love your beer like I love so many others.
