Australisches Bier

XXXX steht für "S*it". Und da es nicht ausgeschrieben werden darf, hamm die vier X drüber gemacht...

VB ist Visitors Beer... Ebenfalls lustig...

vielleicht steht ja hier ein Hinweis auf den Ursprung von 4XXXX:

Ein kleiner Auszug daraus:

Melbourne's got rain and Sydney's got yuppies,
Tassie got the chop and we got lucky,
Nobody does it like up here does it,
We love it up here,
We don't just like it, we love it!
We don't just like it, we love it!
We love it up here,
The people the places, the mates the faces,
The XXXX, yep, the beer up here, we love it up here!

Great XXXX jingle, early 1990s

PS: und schon selbst dadrin entdeckt - un :kein Wunder, dass es so gut schmeckt!!! (da war ein deutscher Brauer am Werk offenbar!!):

And fourex is indeed their beer (the X's deriving from the old medieval europe tradition of using X's to indicate the beer strength). The golden drop was masterfully brewed by Castlemaine's newly appointed german brewer in 1924, essentially replacing their Sparkling Ale, using a yeast transported from Germany (which was, ironically, transported back to Germany after the original culture was destroyed during World War II). The beer quickly gobbled up most of the market share in the Sunshine State, and deeply wove itself into the fabric of Queensland culture.
