Buy some beer. Help pay for this Carlton Draught ad. Quicktime, bombastic.
  • And it's not a bad drop, too.
  • Surprised one of you in the proper hemisphere didn't beat me to the punch on this. Haven't tried it myself.
  • Yes, it is the proper hemisphere. Quite right.
  • Damn that's good. Making fun of BA, and with music just as good. (Both ads had some of my favorite pieces of music.) Could have done with more shots of the figure at the end.
  • That's genius.
  • Is Carlton Draught good? I was drinking La Fin Du Monde last night. That is such a beautiful beer.
  • It's a sort of middle of the road beer that is nothing outstanding, but pleasing to most people's taste if they can't get their usual. It's crisp and a little bitter. Some people rate it very highly. It's the kind of beer that is very popular in Oz, so it's in the mold of bitter beer. I think it better from the tap. It's a good quality beer for the price, a thirst quencher.
  • Christ I sound like a fucking wine reviewer. /shoots self
  • I was drinking La Fin Du Monde last night. That is such a beautiful beer. Have you tried Maudite as well? Is from the same brewery. I liked this ad, but what do I hate this pompous Carl Orff music. But then again, my parents used to play the real Carmina Burana a lot when i was a kid. Music from the Middle Ages, I still like it.
  • That was most excellent.
  • Maudite -- beautiful stuff, but it always gives me a killer headache.
  • I have had Maudite, but for some reason I didn't like it very much. It was okay, but I didn't like it like I like La Fin Du Monde. I'm not really a big beer person - I like wheatbeers, for their lightness, and I like the trappist style ale. But I'll often drink wine or cider instead (I like a nice sour cider). Or, to show off my gaucheness, Mike's Hard - Berry is best. Sweet like fruit punch that gets you very, very drunk.
  • You're a Zen drinker - while intent on taste, you understand the ultimate purpose of drinking :)
  • What, no beer piss shot?
  • You say Carmina I say Carmana You say Burina I say Burana Carmina! Carmana! Burina! Burana! Let's Carl the whole thing Orff. /cackles madly for the 85th time at favourite joke
  • I don't mind CD- It's on par with New/VB and has actually taken a fair chunk out of their market share (well here in Syd at least). Nothing too flash but it gets the job done. Their ads consistently take the piss which I find quite refreshing (The canoe one was good as is their tagline- "Carlton Draught- Made from beer".
  • God I hate VB. I would rather drink badger's piss.
  • How different from Farlton Fraught is it? Load of mass-produced chemicalised junk.
