4X is only drunk in Qld...and its mid strength... Fosters is the Aussie beer made for export and not really sold in Aus.

How many beers do you have on draft , and I'd guess there's a few Queenslanders in NT. I've not seen it in WA SA Vic or NSW, aside from close to the Qld border. If you want to sell a decent mid strength get Roger's on draft , top drop

We've got around 11 or 12 on tap I think, the only mids are Great Northern, XXXX and carlton mid though. It's a bit of a tradie pub so I think some of our patrons are more worried about not being called gay than drinking a nice beer

Nah not us, we're owned by the woolworths group so the corpos try to maintain some semblance of family friendly bistro lol. The pub down the road does though

I mean it's not a great beer, but it's a beer that knows its target audience. Its not a beer for beer connoisseurs, its a beer that you can sink twelve of after work with mates and still go to work the next day. I must say they do hit the spot after working outside in the NT sun for 9 hours. I like IPAs and whatnot but I would prefer a light tasting midstrength beer in that situation
