They don’t. I doubt I could buy it if I wanted it, it’s hard to find here. Last time I had it was in Queensland 15 years ago.

Wonder if it's because he's in Singapore and it was the 90s.

Singapore probably didn't have a big local craft brew scene then and the store probably had Fosters, Heineken, Bud Heavy, and Lowenbrau.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

It's bordering on being unAustralian to even consider drinking it.

It was still reasonably common here in the early 90s, but on its way out. My Da drank it from time to time round then, but by the mid 90s when I started with the teenage binge drinking they were pretty much gone from bottleos.

I came to say basically the same thing. I've been told Fosters is Australian for shit and nobody drinks it.

The old joke was Australians called it XXXX because they couldn't spell piss.

Thankfully his tastebuds have matured in the past 30 years and he’s moved onto Crown Lagers
