However why you would want to drink Fosters is beyond me. Its not even a genuine Australian beer.

Real aussies drink XXXX, Carlton Beer and Tooheys. Oh and the XXXX is around 5% alcohol and tastes a lot better than the 3% rubbish that was sold in the UK as XXXX.

And Victoria Bitter, which isn't a bitter at all!

I don't blame you mate! Smoothflow and that crappy so-called lager such as Fosters, Carling, Carlsberg and the rest of that tasteless, ice cold gnats is awful stuff. Robinsons usually do a good pint and I'll be looking out for that Saints Gold on Friday.

I'm a bit of a real ale bore myself but I can't see the Saints gold being a real ale like robinsons sell in some pubs as it will be impossible to keep it will just be a decent keg I think and as good as you can get at any sports venue.

£3 a pint isn't bad as it was £3 for just a 300ml bottle of carlseberg at widnes

This is RL buddy. I'm sure even our harshest opponents are not that petty and small-minded that they would put their own enjoyment second to something like product branding lol.

It looks like Nitro keg to me when i had it last week.

Its big disadvantage is that they have to pour a half, then let it settle, before pouring the other half.
Similar to Guinness, which by the way is also on sale in the ground.

I did see hand pulled Unicorn bitter on sale within the Founders bar.

Then you just need to promote it better. How about a freebie taster for all Leeds fans when we visit?

£3 is very reasonable. I'm hoping to go to The George with my son for a drink before the game. I hear they keep a good pint in there.

It wasn't 300ml, it was 500ml or may have been a bit more..just know they were big bottles close to a pint. I HATE Carlsberg though so when I read that Saints are doing Fosters on draught tonight I was made up haha. Hopefully it's a good game. Looking forward to it! As long as Saints win by no more than 14 points I will be happy..34-20 I'm going for but that's me being optomistic
