I think we have mentioned before on Hoppsy, everyone outside Australia thinks Fosters when we they think of Australian Beer, unlike the Aussies who really don’t care for the stuff. Fosters is the most successful Australian beer brand all around the world being sold just about everywhere. Today it is brewed in several countries Australia, and is a huge seller expecially in the UK. We found this great Hong Kong Fosters ad which dates back to the early 1980′s which is a beauty and well worth a look, maybe enjoy watching it with a refreshing Fosters to celebrate our Australia Day week of beers.

The best cold beer is Vic, Vic Bitter
Well plenty of people would disagree, but half of Australia think the best cold beer is Vic, Victoria Bitter. VB is Australia’s biggest selling draft beer and is available in just about every pub in the continent. Brewed by Carlton and United Breweries now known as The Fosters Group the beer has a reputation of being a beer for everyone especially the Aussie worker. Originating from Melbourne it was really Melbourne Bitter and Carlton Draft which were the beer drinkers choice, but after great advertising like this old You Tube ad, and marketing into new areas, VB has become the Australian favorite. Well a hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer…you know the rest.
The voodoo made me do it
We found this amusing little ad on You Tube for Brahma Beer from Brazil. It looks like the guy wasn’t meant to be out drinking so the girlfriend thought she would make his life a bit tough with the voodoo doll, well it sort of back fired or at least put out the fire. You should get a laugh. Brahma Beer is starting to make some inroads around the world and is now found in quiet a few countries. The beer dates back to 1888 when it was first brewed by a guy called Joseph Villager and is the most popular cerveja in Brazil, with 4.8% alcohol and a fresh refreshing taste the beer is hard to beat. Look for its interesting curvy bottle when next at the bar.
At last Feng Shui makes perfect sense
I have never really understood the way of Feng Shui until now, probably because I am Australian and this ad made perfect sense, lets face it all you need in your house is a TV for the footy and cricket, a comfy couch, a toilet close by and a fridge full of beer. I remember Homer Simpson was even intelligent enough to come up with that one years ago- although I think he added some pork rind to the mix (must be the American Touch ? ). Anyway this is a ad for the Australian beer everyone drinks except Australians- Fosters Lager, the world is missing out on so many great Carlton and United beers! – enjoy.
Holston Pils Beer Robot
Well I am sure you have noticed we like featuring beer robots a bit on Hoppsy, well we found another one. This time it’s a clever ad for Holston Pils. The robot is a clever little fella, not only can he answer any question about Hamburg’s finest pils he also has a fridge in his tummy full of the fresh frothy brew. I want one!

Wassabi….
We know, we have come to the end of our Japanese Beer Ads week- We have enjoyed them so much, and we think we will do another week of them sometime in the New Year. For our last day we have found a real treat, and to be fair it’s not really Japanese, it’s for Budweiser. You should get a laugh out of it, its based in a Japanese restaurant and the fun is all around the pronunciation of Wassabi the hot horse radish sauce so popular in Japanese cuisine.
Beer for Kids- what will they think of next?
Well from the land which has beer and smokes vending machines on street corners for easy access to everyonen now has a beer for kids. Well it may not be real beer, it seems to be a apple based product but it sure looks like beer, and by the look of this ad kids love it. It’s frothy, golden and looks as if it puts a smile on the face of evey Japanese boy and girl. Turn the sound up on this You Tube as the song which goes with the ad is fantastic and you will probably be humming it in your sleep. The drink is called ‘Kodomo no nomimono” and is sold in cans, bottles and wait for it, even six packs. We have done a little research and they also make a sparkling grape juice for the little ones, which is pretty much a alcohol free champange
Yellow Magic Orchestra play the Moog for Kirin Lager
This ad is a bit of a weird arty one. It is for Kirin Lager and features the Yellow Magic Orchestra playing the Moog Synthesizer Little Phatty. The Yellow Magic Orchestra are one of Japan’s hottest acts, they have been around since 1978 and are renowned as having pioneered synthpop and electropop in Japan, they are compared to Germany’s Kraftwerk- you might remember Kraftwerk for that Autobahn song in the mid 1970′s. This ad is quiet entertaining the YMO are dressed as cavemen, geishas and their best suits, not sure what it has to do with selling beer but who cares, its all a bit of fun.
Drunk Penguins- now thats what I gotta see!
Well after yesterday’s Blue Tounge Anti Whale controversial video, we thought we should lighten up a bit – athough we are still angry people eat want to whales when there are so many other tasty animals. Today’s Japanese Beer Ad is a ripper, in fact there are 5 short ones for your viewing pleasure. The quality isn’t all that good but the content sure is cute. It’s a series of drinking penguin ads- Beer is making this little fella a bit emotional I think. He has a lovely black and white singing girl friend and a nice can of tasty Japanese Beer. You are going to love it.
Drink beer instead of eating whales!
Most of the world thinks its not very nice eating whales and we agree. But many Japanese appear to need to eat them after they do their so called scientific research – haven’t they tried cows? Blue Tounge beer in Sydney Australia has taken the step to link their tasty beer with the horrors of whale slaughter with this somewhat unpleasant ad. Hopefully it will help change the minds of the people who enjoy eating these magnificent creatures and they will reach for a bottle of beer instead – im sure the beer is much tastier and wouldn’t have that fishy smell! (Just a little warning today’s You Tube video might be too graphic for some but thankfully no whale is shown being hurt in this advertisment) Save the Whales!!
