Great Northern

Australia's worst beer. Queenslanders drink it like water because they have no tastebuds. In the Southern states, it's marketed to bogans whose tastebuds have been completely shot after a lifetime of smoking 50+ durries a day.

"What do you have to wash that awful taste out of my mouth?"
"Great Northern or crab juice."
"Blech! Ew! Jeez... I'll take a crab juice."
