Lotta great images. Big pages. Beautifully printed. Id love a time machine to try out the Tooheys Oatmeal Stout.

That last poster usually accompanied by the classic remark;
I allus have wan at eleven,
Itâs a habit wotâs gotta be done,
Cos if I donât have one at eleven,
I allus have eleven at one.

Yep. Thatâs the front cover. Probably the most famous Australian beer poster.
I actually read an article somewhere a few years ago on its origin. Was a real bloke and a real quote from him. From memory he was a handyman or something at a pub and i think something like pints may have been part of his pay.
I have no idea where i read it, and am sketchy on the details. But it was a good little read.

Quick searchâŚSam Knott is his name.
Heres a story about him. Doubt its the one I read as its behind a paywall.
More about the legend;
I really love the iconography of all the old Australian Brewerys. Its a shame most of their beers are so â â â â â â â awful.

Any good?
Yeah very enjoyable. One of my pet hates is a stout with a thin mouthfeel. Thankfully this wasnât one of those. The irish cream was prominent, but not overbearing.
If you like a stout and irish cream, youâd most likely be a fan.

Iâm in South Australia. Not only are they out of whack half an hour, theyâre out of whack half a beer. E.g. their schooner is 285ml and what you order instead of a pot. If you want a schooner you order a pint. FFS a pint is a recognised unit of volume but not in SA, if you actually want a pint (a stupid sized beer) you need to declare your tossiness by asking for an imperial. Which begs the question, what does their standard pint represent? A metric pint? A communist pint?

Haha thatâs brilliant. What was it like?
Thatâs a pretty cool idea
It tasted a bit artificialâŚ
It was good. Not amazing. Dainton do set a pretty high standard though.
