Drinks Policy on domestic

[ermen]

I do not understand it - why are there varying policies? You pay the same price for the same on the weekend or weekday but you do not get the same level of service? I think consistency is in the order...

Just out of curiosity (and probably OT) does Emirates still charge for certain alcoholic beverages in Y?

Not on any domestic flights

... just like James Sauire Pale Ale..golden refers to the colour

Of what? the beverage? Or the colour pertaining to ablutions after consuming said sickly beverage?

FYI James Squire Golden Ale has nothing to do with strength. it is a full strength beer. just like James Sauire Pale Ale..golden refers to the colour

At 4.5%, I wouldn't consider it a full strength beer. At most it would have 1.2 standard drinks I think.
Edit: Apparently it is full strength according to the definitions. > 3.5% so Full strength.

along with Pale Ale i think James Sqiures and Little Creatures are two of the best breweries on the world.

i am a big fan of all australian locally brewed ales.

give it a try next time! doesnt hurt to stay away from VB or crown lager

and yes, the colour refers to the colour of the beverage

yeah fair enough, for me it is one of the high lights of flying QF....i can not buy this beer any where else on the world. once you are on a QF plane i can get my Golden ale.

Ta - I am a big fan of JS beers, but not the golden ale It's far too sweet for my appreciate.

It was joy a while back in the old SYD F/L when they had "James Squire" during a promotional period. The Porter is nectar.

Anyway, this issue limits my options on QF flights.

I most definitely have to agree on the James Squire Porter. I was beginning to think I was the only one that likes it!!

I only like the JS IPA (Indian Pale Ale).

Personally I see no reason why Qantas could not serve alcohol on flights after 4:00pm everyday.

The Sunday evening flights are just as expensive as the Friday evening flights....

fair point! i am a big fan of pale ale too, but Golden Ale is lighter on the palate and more refreshing some times.

any way, i am just glad i can get non corona/heineken options on a QF plane..not complaining

I am almost opposite.
I rarely drink Aussie beers (just prefer my European styles).
My 3 fav at the moment are, Carlsberg, Stella or Heineken (all 100% imported of course).

If l had to drink an Australian drop at the moment, it would probably be one of the Matilda Bay brews ; Beez Neez/Bohemian/Alpha (rare to find and $$$ that last one). No matter what l do, I can't make Fat Yak palatable for some reason...

All this talk about beer reminds me of a conversation I had with a TSA guy in Vegas prior to our flight to JFK. I had to show my NT drivers licence, Amex card as proof of who I was as I hadn't yet been reunited with my passport which had fallen out of by handbag on an AS flight SFO/SEA & ended up in DFW.

He said "I've got a bone to pick with you Aussies about the word Fosters being Australian for beer". I don't know whether you'd call it putting a nail in the coffin or the icing on the cake when I said "nobody back home drinks that ****" :mrgreen: which is probably what he keeps hearing & feels he's been given a bum steer.

Qantaslink does have free alcohol in the evening (not sure what time it starts).

has been reduced though. Used to be minitures of wine, now it's cups from a bottle. Also beer used to be full strength xx_X and something like Tooheys New. Now it's xx_X mid and James Squire Gold (also a mid).

Still miniatures on CBR-SYD as of last night, maybe for expediency. I didn't take note of what the beer options were.
