It was a warm day today, so Viv and I took a late afternoon walk to our local beach.

On our way home, we ducked into a bottle shop that’s only been open for a week or so. We wanted to check out their range of beers, and were pleasantly surprised – it’s really extensive!

Confronted with so much choice, in the end Vivian was the one who made the decision and went for this novelty lager.

In the end, it was a pretty ordinary lager. But surely the sacrifice was worth it to give us an excuse to reminisce about this classic press conference moment by our state premier, and the months Victorians spent moaning, “Can we get on the beers yet?".
