It\u2019s not a huge difference. My father-in-law insists on bringing over a couple of dozen cans of VB every time he visits. He used to tease us about drinking what he referred to as mid-strength <strong>Coopers<\/strong> Pale Ale (4.5%). The teasing stopped when we started drawing his attention to the lower alcohol level of his beloved VB.

None of us can remember the name but we knocked off quite a few litres over a beefy lunch. The PR company that usually keeps us up to date with the goings on with Matilda Bay beers have been a bit quiet about it. All we can tell you is it was described as an Aussie ale on the tap flag, it\u2019s moderately hoppy and is good for at least 5 pints and counting. We\u2019ll have more news about it when someone in Sydney returns our calls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beer Radar for TWTW Friday 19th Oct 2012 By John Kr\u00fcger Matter of fact, the father-in-law never noticed.
