Tooheys New

Is it a new or old beer, what do you think?
Well believe it or not Tooheys New has been bottled since 1976, the only difference is that it was brewed under a different name – Tooheys Draught.
Tooheys beers were created back in 1869 when two brothers from Ireland bought a brewery here in Australia. Tooheys Old Black Ale was one of their first creations and is still around to this day. Since 1869 the Tooheys brand has grown immensely and the results of this growth can easily be seen in most pubs and advertisements at many sporting events. Tooheys New is the official beer of the prestigious Melbourne Cup and is a proud supporter of the Australian Wallabies. Tooheys New is on tap at most local pubs and clubs and is also generally sold bottled or canned at these venues, making it one of the easiest beers to get your hands on.
This beer has a bitter taste to it, but don’t be turned off by this as it makes for a smooth, crisp drinking beer. It has a strong smell of hops and I believe you can nearly smell the bitterness lingering in the bottle. Light amber is the beer’s colour. A great advantage of this beer is that it is generally quite cheap to purchase, only the other day I saw a 6-pack going for $10 at Twin Towns RSL at Tweed Heads.
So if you’re after a cheap night or just want to give those taste buds a bitter twist, Tooheys New is the beer for you.

yeep.
its an awesome beer, and its cheap
…though I get the nastiest headaches after a night on it.
If I want to survive the next day without any bad effects I need to keep my hands off it and go for the TED. Even a single glass inbetween other beers provides a reminder the next day.
Not a fan. I would drink XXXX or Reschs over this any day. Also had alot headaches from this stuff.
