Talk:Brisbane Bitter

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because... (your reason here) --NickJ1388 (talk) 10:27, 24 September 2012 (UTC) this is the first wikipedia page that I have created and I'm changing quite a bit as I am trying to figure out how everything works.


 * It doesn't matter of its you first article started, its what the content that matter. The reason why it should be deleted is because of the article doesn't have any meaningful content for it to be included in this encyclopedia. But as you can edit and expand the article, why delete it if it has meet the standards.  Mediran   talk 11:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Nick, in the future you may want to use Help:Userspace draft to work up a draft in a safe userspace where you can take your time putting all the pieces together. When an article is launched in actual Articlespace, it's immediately subject to tags, changes, deletion, etc. So it's best to have "all your ducks in a row" before launcing. Your article is looking solid enough to survive right now thanks to your quick sourcing, though it still needs some polishing. Keep working on this one here, and for your next article do the Userspace draft until you have enough content to launch safely. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

BB is fondly remembered because of its slick and sexy TV ads. The beer itself was one of CUB's blandest, and was their normal fare of pils malt and PoR hops. XXXX reigned supreme in Queensland and killed off all the other small breweries by 1950. XXXX was one of the earliest American-style lagers, and was expertly brewed by the standards of the day. CUB had always wanted the Qld market and started quite a number of local beers, such as Cairns Draught. Like XXXX, CD was bittered with Tasmanian Cluster hops, giving it the American style citrus/pineapple taste. XXXX went through a bad patch of very incompetent equipment upgrades and newer brewing techniques from the mid 70s. Customers tasted this and CUB moved in with BB circa '79. BB came very close to killing off XXXX, until CP appointed a new German master brewer (name I've forgotten) who got things going properly, circa '82. Power's Bitter started in '89, and it was good enough to kill off BB immediately. CUB bought Power's in '90, and Power's Gold is still produced today, but it is nothing like Bernie Powers original brew. A "nostalgia run" of BB was produced for a few weeks in 2011, in non-nostalgic Al cans.220.244.75.43 (talk) 06:22, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
