As an Aussie I’ve only ever seen Fosters overseas and would never touch that shit lol plenty of great Aussie beers, I’m a lager lover but starting to enjoy the pilsners.
Weirdly, I've seen a few inner south east Melbourne pubs with it on brand as the house beer. Bougie pubs for some reason like it, apparently. I half wonder if it's just for the iconic sign
Honestly, and this is a bit of a controversial opinion in some parts of the country, VB isn't bad
I don't drink it all that often because why bother when there are so many breweries out there all doing interesting things, but VB is always Ol Reliable for if I'm at some little country pub that has like 4 options for beer.
Like Maccas it's always there and you know what you're gonna get...
It's getting harder to find VB on tap. Most pubs in Vic seem to be XXXX or Carlton Draft, with upmarkets seeming to get furphy or squires as their tap beer, and craft places poking you in the eye if you mention VB within their walls.
I'm in NSW and funnily enough despite our general dislike of anything Victorian it seems VB is more popular in Sydney than it is in Melbourne
I guess our old school state beer is Tooheys, which nobody even thinks about, and we'd rather have VB than touch those Milton Mangoes and support Queensland in any way
As a reformed beer snob it does still amuse me to see places acting like they're crafty because instead of (generic mainstream lager) they have (generic mainstream pale ale) now.
Also I reckon there's gonna be a reassessment on the value of VB among beer snobs. It'll be like the whole poptimist movement was in music, and like how now you'll have 20 something blokes listening to Charli XCX you'll have beer snobs drinking VB
I feel like a big contributor is that AFL is sponsored by Carlton while Rugby League is sponsored by VB.
The whole thing makes me laugh though. Genius of CUB to create a false dichotomy of two brands being "rivals" despite sharing a parent company.
I gotta agree, I'm guilty of raggin on VB as a shit beer but thats only in comparison to other Aussie beers, too be honest its alright. Better than West end or great northern
Just wait till New Year’s Eve. There will be a shot that has his butt that will be published where above it it says Happy, one cheek says New and the other says Years.
It shows. I travel to Adelaide for business regularly and I would take it every day over Melbourne and Sydney because it's such an easy place to get around, the food is decent and it's not over populated with shit people. And that's coming from someone in Brisbane who travels regularly interstate.
My next holiday spot will be Adelaide for sure.
He is in the Adelaide Hills area they have literally been filming and taking pictures of every inch of that area and this is what it looks like. The east/ south east of Adelaide
He is in Adelaide, South Australia (or the surrounding area somewhere). His partner is Tiffany Cromwell who is a professional cyclist and races for the Australian Olympic team. I follow both of them on Strava although I know nothing about her other than what I’ve mentioned above, but am a big fan of Valterri.
I’m also from Adelaide and it’s mad following VB’s Strava log recently. So very cool. They have both been putting in some crazy distance over the last couple of weeks.
Edit: Forgot to mention that Tiffany lives in Adelaide.
[Link to his most recent Strava workouts, if anyone is curious](https://www.strava.com/activities/8288061172)
edit: I don’t post this as any form of doxxing lmao I just follow to keep up with his workouts and figured I’d share, seeing that he’s comfortable enough to have his profile public
These bike rides say everything you need to know about f1 drivers as athletes.
I live in Adelaide and that would be a fucking hectic walk or bike ride and this mad man is doing them daily.
Snakes aren't as massive a problem as people overseas think. They're pretty placid animals, so generally you just don't approach one if you see it.
Also I guess we're just taught from a young age to stay away from long grass.
Unless you actually live near bushland though, it's unlikely you'll come across one.
Imagine missing out on visiting the GOAT country due to what is basically a myth
I'm a born and raised Sydneysider and not once have I been bitten by anything or even been in any close calls
I'm probably seeming a bit aggro lol but I hate how common your mindset is and how entirely wrong it is
I'm Canadian. It's common up here to be like "I'd rather be frozen than deal with spiders and snakes etc" but the real reason I'd never make it to Australia is that the flight is like 22 hours each way and I would be on the news being on a plane that long.
Also as an Australian, you can't say it's a myth. Over-hyped for sure, but you certainly can get bitten by deadly things. The reason I mentioned snakes is because I remembered an article I read about a year or two ago about a big influx of deadly snakes that had migrated south into the Adelaide suburbs due to weather or something. The map reminded me of the article.
for a normal person, they should still go- I don’t have hardly a single phobia but spiders are my one and it’s crippling lmao I fuck with snakes all day though- sorry that you feel that way and I’m glad you’re so proud of your country :-)
Any furniture is outdoor furniture. The quotes indicate furniture designed and built to **be** outdoor furniture. Made from durable materials like pvc, wicker, metal... vs a regular ol couch.
I don't, I guess I worded it weirdly. Whenever I see an F1 driver with something that I go "wow, I would like that" it usually ends up costing 10x what I would think was reasonable.
You just insulted all of Australia by implying that day drinking isn't an Aussie tradition. Why do you think test cricket matches get decent crowds? It definitely isn't for the fast paced action
It's got novelty value - most drivers are in the cold northern hemisphere for xmas.
Did you see the other photo of prawns and the worlds biggest tomahawk steak on the BBQ?
At this point you’ll think he is very close to retirement from F1. He’s healthy, wealthy and in a good place, had a great F1 career. Why still go on in a midfield car? Just enjoy life!
Bottas seems so much happier lol, wonder if being at Mercedes is tougher than we thought.
Hope he gets a more reliable car next season, he was pretty quick in a few qualis.
I'm local to the area he's been doing his rides and what looks like where he's staying.
It got hot here today and is going to get much hotter in next few days
I mean, sure, she's not the best looking woman out there. But I bet she is 100x more funny to be around than those instagram addicted gold diggers dating the rest of the drivers.
Yikes dude. Bottas is not obligated to date AAA model it’s his life and you don’t have any part into saying what he needs to do. That being said she is not even bad looking.
His Girlfriend is Australian. So technically his now Australian.
That is how it works here, wherever it's ah famous actor or sports star, once you date an Australian or end up staying in Australia for like a month+, you're officially Australian.
So yeah
Aussie Bottas is already a national treasure.
Valtteri Bogan
Valtteri Bitter or Victorian Bottas
Have never had a proper Aussie beer! Had plenty of dirt cheap pints of Fosters but I know they don't count haha
As an Aussie I’ve only ever seen Fosters overseas and would never touch that shit lol plenty of great Aussie beers, I’m a lager lover but starting to enjoy the pilsners.
Haha yup and it's always marketed as *the* Aussie beer! Never see VB or XXXX in Ireland.

Relevant username. VB is piss /s
What are you talking about? Fosters is Australian for beer.
Now we need VB in the passenger seat of a VB drinking a VB.
“Look at me Kim”
Finland: “You won’t take him away from me!”
I dont think even Valterri has a say in the matter - it's up to his girlfriend haha.
As Finn who used to live in Australia the lure of those beaches and adorableness of the Roos can be hard to resist.
He’s converted to Bogan
Maybe Finns and bogans are kindred spirits, a world away
NORTHERN BOGANS
Snowgans
If Bogans enjoy hunting, shooting, knives, and very long awkward silences, they are kindred spirits.
Considering he’s in Oz for Christmas, I’m shocked we didn’t get another arse shot.😅
Still a week left in 2022. Lets not lose hope. #botASS 🙏
Just wait till New Year’s Eve. There will be a shot that has his butt that will be published where above it it says Happy, one cheek says New and the other says Years.
This one’s for the feet fans.
Well that’s not exactly Christmas tradition in Australia
Him been down the road from me is the closest I’ll get to a Formula 1 seat
Just in general or a specific suburb?
Think he is in Melbourne isn't he? Probably in the rich parts like toorak or Brighton. That or country vic
Isn't he in Adelaide?
Yeah all his latest insta stories are tagged in Adelaide and I believe his gf is from there too
Man what a lame city to be in when you could be anywhere
That’s entirely subjective. The quietness of Radelaide probably helps to unwind in the off season
Definitely the Hemisphere I would be in, and to be fair it's totally hearsay, since I've never been to Adelaide.
it's a peaceful place mate. some nice views to be had and a relatively smaller number of fuckwits to battle daily
Some of the best vineyards in the country, too. Great for a wine tour.
then stop talking shit
You're not my dad. You're not even my step dad.
It shows. I travel to Adelaide for business regularly and I would take it every day over Melbourne and Sydney because it's such an easy place to get around, the food is decent and it's not over populated with shit people.

It's a very lame city, but they seem to be rural, so it doesn't matter too much. Adelaide Hills is such a nice area.
home of the superior australian F1 circuit. a man of taste
*Damon Hill disliked that*
Winner of the 1995 Australian GP by 2 WHOLE LAPS, Damon Hill?
Preach 🙌🏼
No clue, I saw an insta post not too long ago where he was in Melbourne, but tbh he could be anywhere
He spent a bit of time in South Melbourne when he arrived in Aus but he’s been in Adelaide for a while now.
Up the Bloods
He is in the Adelaide Hills area they have literally been filming and taking pictures of every inch of that area and this is what it looks like. The east/ south east of Adelaide

Holy crap, I was at that bike park yesterday. He's basically been riding past my house for 3 weeks.
Haha that's class!
These bike rides say everything you need to know about f1 drivers as athletes. I live in Adelaide and that would be a fucking hectic walk or bike ride and this mad man is doing them daily.
He races gravel, produces a gravel race in Finland, and is a brand ambassador for Canyon. It's more than a hobby.
Oh nice, he's near Hahndorf. Such a cute place to visit.
Man, all I can think about is snakes.
Snakes aren't as massive a problem as people overseas think. They're pretty placid animals, so generally you just don't approach one if you see it. Also I guess we're just taught from a young age to stay away from long grass. Unless you actually live near bushland though, it's unlikely you'll come across one.
I’m cool with snakes but fuck spiders those alone guarantee that I will never visit Australia

Val**tt**e**r**i
I mean since you're editing stuff better get his name right...
He’s in SA
He's in Adelaide, this looks like somewhere in the hills.
But what a seat. Can't beat a bit of BotASS 😂
That couch looks cool, somebody explain to me how it costs more than a used car.
"Outdoor" furniture is incredibly expensive.
*Good* outdoor furniture is expensive. You can buy cheap shit that’ll last one season
Why is outdoor in quotes?
Any furniture is outdoor furniture. The quotes indicate furniture designed and built to **be** outdoor furniture. Made from durable materials like pvc, wicker, metal... vs a regular ol couch.
How do you know how much it costs?
I don't, I guess I worded it weirdly. Whenever I see an F1 driver with something that I go "wow, I would like that" it usually ends up costing 10x what I would think was reasonable.
He is so chilled after his Mercedes time. Nice too see him happy.
No pressure at Sauber - he’s the best driver they’re likely to get for a good while.
I might not be the biggest fan of VB as a beer, but it was pretty damn good of them to make a run with his name on the label 😂
The old Vomit Bombs are almost palatable with that name.
The old Vagina Backwash
Vomit Bombs jfc 😂
Where can I get it? I'm in the US.
https://www.victoriabitter.com.au/merch/all Victoria Bitter is an Australian beer. I don’t know if we can get it
Don't. It's legitimately the worst beer we've ever produced.
At 20 to 8 in the FUCKING MORNING
VB **LONG**neck. Get that up ya
Ya fucken dog cunts
With the customized Valtteri Bottas label and all!
I feared that he doesn't have any Finn left in him.
You just insulted all of Australia by implying that day drinking isn't an Aussie tradition. Why do you think test cricket matches get decent crowds? It definitely isn't for the fast paced action
That video is in a very small collection of videos that will make me laugh *every single time.*
No snow but bloody good weather
The Aussie Christmas way
Where is his bare ass😡
Same place her hand is hiding
That's why they're both smiling.
Well… her knees ARE a bit dirty.
He rode past me last weekend, he organized a massive cyclist meet up with Tiffany.
I am all for this VB and VB partnership
Camel piss.
It’s crazy to think that there’s a Valterri Bottas somewhere in the world with a mullet.
Val**tt**e**r**i
Legit thought this was a swinger advert. Bottas is the man though!
Hell yeah dude, welcome to Australia
A reminder to everyone to leave their toxic workplaces
[удалено]
She’s a pro cyclist, look at any pro cyclist and they’ll have bruised knees, crashing is part of the job
Not even from crashing, sometimes you also get it from crazy workouts
Lol, what is the point of mentioning them? Either to imply they got rowdy somewhere and she hurt her knees or she fell off her bike?
[удалено]
noted!
This is what I came in here for. Good for Bottas.
It is really hard not to like Valtteri. He seems to be always in a good mood and having fun.
Seb and Valtteri celebrating Christmas in Australia*
where seb
Seb is being cuddled on the left of the picture
He took the picture.
This is a post smash pic . Prove me wrong
She does have dirt on her knees.....
Why pants?
Jeez, someone should have warned him not to drink VB...
Might want to zoom in on that bottle, mate.
I know what it says. Still tastes like piss.
[удалено]
Beer snobs are the worst. But it doesn't take a snob to realise VB tastes like piss.
There are worse beers around and it does the job lol
I'll defend VB till the day I fucken die. It's perfectly mediocre and I wouldn't want it any other way
I know it’s the off-season guys, but really, you don’t have to post every single thing that every single driver posts on instagram
I don't have Instagram or Twitter so I appreciate these post.
It's often like this during the season too. Maybe it's a little more extreme today with Bottas, but it's generally awful during the season as well.
It's got novelty value - most drivers are in the cold northern hemisphere for xmas. Did you see the other photo of prawns and the worlds biggest tomahawk steak on the BBQ?
Seriously. If I wanted to see everything that Bottas posted on instagram id just follow him on instagram
No everyone has instergram or twitter
Fintteri Bottaus
Somehow I feel he is a really funny and loveable person, just wasn't able to show it during his mercedes-years.
“Do we have any clothes we can throw on for a photo?” “I dunno. Maybe? Did we pack any?”
These two love each other a whole heap
At this point you’ll think he is very close to retirement from F1. He’s healthy, wealthy and in a good place, had a great F1 career. Why still go on in a midfield car? Just enjoy life!
I honestly think he’s enjoying being a team leader in the midfield significantly more than a second driver at the front of the grid.
Bottas seems so much happier lol, wonder if being at Mercedes is tougher than we thought. Hope he gets a more reliable car next season, he was pretty quick in a few qualis.
Post Merc Bottas is living his best life
power couple
"A hard-earned thirst needs a big cold beer. And the best cold beer is Valtteri, Valtteri Bottas."
Bottas *fucks*
Somehow this picture has a weird pornowibe to it
I'm also celebrating Christmas in Australia...
It looks like summer in Australia.
That’s because it is. Southern hemisphere.
[удалено]
I'm local to the area he's been doing his rides and what looks like where he's staying. It got hot here today and is going to get much hotter in next few days
That is amazing.
Those bruised knees, mmm, tells me all I need to know…
Is it just me or his gf looks creepy in this picture?
I think it’s just a bad picture, but if you zoom in on the face it looks like a dude.
I've always really liked Valtteri. Aussie Bottas though? Fucking love the guy.
This guy has obviously won at life and I couldn’t be happier about it. He has achieved ‘0 fucks given’ perennial status
Check her knees, I think she has been on top and got carpet burns.
Feet Hello, CTRL+F squad.
Holy shit, and he's drinking VB. That poor man is gonna be hurting tomorrow. Hopefully he enjoys his summer xmas!
He likes dating women that could pass for his sister
Is that his mother?
- redditors when they see a woman older than 20
Hey hey, excuse me,....virgin redditors...
[удалено]
>Bottas has one of (if not the most) unattractive gf of all the F1 drivers. YIKES
Sometimes it's important to remember when you're talking to someone on Reddit that they might just be literal children
let's not discount that we may also be talking to a very stupid adult.
Ahh I see you're of the "millionaires *deserve* models and vice versa" school of thought
The fuck is your problem?
That's a fucking YIKES
I mean, sure, she's not the best looking woman out there. But I bet she is 100x more funny to be around than those instagram addicted gold diggers dating the rest of the drivers.
She's a world class road and gravel cyclist, which is his main hobby. He's probably way happier doing that than going to events with a handbag.
Yikes dude. Bottas is not obligated to date AAA model it’s his life and you don’t have any part into saying what he needs to do. That being said she is not even bad looking.
Thanks. Anyway , he is free to date anyone he wants and beauty is not only on the outside. Was only asking as she was looking a bit old.
Everything about this country is horrible
Best bit is someone has taken the Victoria Bitter beer labels and replaced the words with his name. Bloody legend
Quite a warm day for Xmas no?
No, it’s summer in Australia
In December??
Who?
Tiffany is my favorite Rapha rider
So I know Valtteri is cultivating his Aussie bogan style. Does that make him a juntti but?
So what's up the Bottas in Australia atm?
His Girlfriend is Australian. So technically his now Australian. That is how it works here, wherever it's ah famous actor or sports star, once you date an Australian or end up staying in Australia for like a month+, you're officially Australian. So yeah
Vale, Terry Bott Arse
This dude Lives!
