2chiefs Posted July 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) So, with the Diamond, Diamond+, and Pinnacle drink vouchers, my go to beer is now Fosters (Oil Can 25oz). It used to be about number 3 or 4 on my "faves" list but now that I have 5 vouchers per day (Diamond +) for drinks up to $13, it's now #1 on my list! I even purchased a nice Fosters koozie on Ebay to bring with me on my next cruise to keep it cold while hanging out in the hot tub.... It's like getting 10 drinks instead of 5 (if you like beer like I do). Edited July 23, 2022 by 2chiefs 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydoc Posted July 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Lol! Love this! My husband and I are also D+ and our first drink of the cruise is always a Fosters that we split and have with lunch. It’s like a twofer 😁 and of course we only use one of our vouchers. We also will get one late at night if we happen to have any vouchers left...ask the bartender to not open it and stash it in the fridge for later enjoyment.

joeyancho Posted July 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Fosters is advertised as an Australian beer. But strangely it is not popular in Australia. It is not even in the top 10 selling beers in Australia. It is not even brewed in Australia. Victoria Bitter is the top beer in Australia. Having said this, Fosters is pretty tasty beer, mate.

Instant party 🥳 🍺 Those were the days when the party was more important than your taste buds.... Obviously you are younger than me. When I was in Vietnam, premium beer (like Budweiser) was $3.60 a case (15 cents a can). And the "crap" beer like Carlings was $2.40 a case.

I was part of my University's Frosh week committee when we welcomed the new first year students and threw lots of parties for them. I'm in Canada so 99% of the Frosh were of legal drinking age back then. Well, the only reason they asked me to join the committee was because I shared a large townhouse with four other guys, I was working in town that summer, and they needed to store hundreds of cases of Black Label that Carling had donated a month before the start of school. Our payment for the storage was about 50 cases for our townhouse. Needless to say we had some GREAT parties that Fall ... ... and I've never touched another Carling Black Label ever since! 🤮 Edited July 23, 2022 by DirtyDawg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted July 23, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I'm confident no Australian members of CC will have an opinion of Foster's. Maybe they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHN 57 Posted July 23, 2022 #25 Share Posted July 23, 2022 we all have different tastes, tried Foster, once, and I did not like it. Not to say, it is not a good beer for some. Like I said, we all have different tastes, On Royal Caribbean prefer Blue Moon or Dos Equis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
