The Bottom Line Foster's is NOT "Australian for Beer". It's not true blue or fair dinkum. It's a big fat marketing lie.

As a beer-loving Australian I feel qualified to provide a few pointers on what one should know about Foster's. Most consumers are familiar with Foster's advertising slogan "Australian for Beer". The Carlton and United Brewing Company, the Melbourne-based brewery who own the Foster's brand, have done an outstanding marketing job in associating Foster's with all-things Australian in the minds of foreigners. Even my wife's fifteen-year old High School students know that Foster's is "Australian for Beer". They've probably seen the ad's in Rolling Stone. Due to their successful marketing campaign, Foster's Lager is one of the best-selling beers in the world.

There is another side to this situation, however. Firstly, it must be stressed that the Foster's consumed by American drinkers is not made in Australia. It is produced in Canada, under license. So don't be fooled by the "Imported" tag on the label. Foster's in America is not true blue, not fair dinkum. It's fake. One of my colleagues flew into a rage of indignation when I pointed this out to him at the bar the other day. He felt deceived and cheated. And indeed he had been. He thought he had been drinking a genuine Australian brew. The Foster's consumed in Europe is not made in Australia either. I suspect that the only place you will find Australian-made Foster's is in Australia.

Secondly, Foster's bases its marketing campaign on the notion than Foster's is the quintessential Australian beer. This too is a lie. You will be hard-pressed to find any Aussie drinking Foster's in Australia (or anywhere else for that matter). Most Aussie's drink beers produced in their home State. For example, Victorians prefer Victoria Bitter (VB) or Carlton Draught (made in Melbourne), Queenslanders prefer XXXX and Power's, while New South Welshmen swear by Toohey's. In fact, you risk a beating by ordering anything other than the choice of locals in some pubs. Australian's like to joke that Foster's is made for the Yanks who couldn't tell a good beer from horsepiss.

So, now you know that Foster's isn't made in Australia and isn't the first (or second, or third) choice of Australians. So that kills several reasons for drinking it. The only reason to drink it is the taste. If you were raised on Bud Light or Coors Light you may think Foster's is quite a good beer. However, if you have more discerning taste buds and like a beer with more depth, flavor, and kick, you will be dissapointed by Foster's.

In conclusion, I advise you as a patriotic Australian to steer clear of Foster's. It's a scam.

This may have been true in the 70's or 80's but I can't see it happening nowadays. Do they even make Powers anymore? It is Great Northern now I think

The Yatala brewery still makes Powers.

When I was in NSW I drank VB or Reches. When I moved to Qld I tried XXXX but it gave me a headache so back to VB. Did try a Fosters made in The Valley and it tasted different to the one made in Sydney, cause Brisbane water is crap. Did a stint of Powers, but always stuck with Vitamin B.  Now I don't drink so you can all eat a d!ck.

well welcome to the club mister I dont drink either and while I am at it I gave up smoking as well years ago. Never drank beer anyway as when it went down it came straight back up within minutes. Never came accross anyone else with the same problem.

LMAO you sounded like a woman on a rampage lol. anyhoo dont care at all for fosters tbh. my tastes run the gamut between cheap, and good. cheap if all i want is to either catch a buzz, or quench a thirst. the american piss water can handle that. buttweiser, nasty ass etc. i prefer what i had in canada in 1999, and again in 2005  was a beer called charrington toby. O...M....G..... yes i drank enough to catch quite the buzz. but if it wouldnt kill whats left of my liver, lol, id live on it. but sadly not available here. i would have to have it imported. which is a royal bìtch. and would work out to over $8 a bottle. not worth it. ( will wait until someone i know is driving there, and pay them to bring back a couple cases

Now that we're on one of my favorite topics (BEER), I'm actually relieved to hear that Fosters here in the states is not a true Aussie brew. When I was younger and not very brew-savvy, it was cool to try "imports", but to be honest, never really cared much for Fosters. I did, however, really develop a taste for Tooth's Sheaf Stout back in the 80's. Wonderful stuff!

Let's all raise a glass to Ben Franklin:

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!"

Cheers!
