Crown Lager

I have been a great fan of Crown Larger for many years. Cold Crownies with good friends... it’s great.
However, a few years back the 6 pack packaging changed. Gone has the reliable and easy to carry six pack, similar to the current style used by Corona.
The replacing of the OH@S compliant packaging with the now dangerous alternative is penny pinching cronyism, since all I can conclude is that an insider was awarded with the design contract.
Broken shards of glass are an absolute danger in any household; with or without young kids about.

Disappointed with my gift of crown larger beer some was ok but remaking bottles tasted funny and were flat not safe to drink have no receipts as it was a Christmas gift but have photos. Feel cheated ..mike Powell...

I have been a keen Crown Lager drinker for a few years. A couple of months ago I started getting a gas, bowel, stomach problem. Over the following months I stopped all medications, changed parts of diet, saw my doctor etc. Then I decided to stop beer for the first time in 50 years. Bingo, all problems solved, no more gas problem. Back to normal food, medications and no worries.. ALSO I do not like the new loose fitting cap, I prefer to use a bottle opener and know my brew has been sealed.
I have not tried any other beers yet, I am still on red wine..

I like drinking this beer alot but the 6 pack is not good for packaging they easily fall out of the packet i broke 2 bottles recently and I carried it properly it should be in a carry packet with a handle like ive seen for another beer i drink. I rang the consumer number to complain about it.

I’d been drinking crown lager since the 80’s and back then it was the king of beer...the premium beer in Australia that was put out on a table only
on very special occasions, but a year ago l got fed up with paying top dollar for a very very ordinary beer...over the years the different owners have changed the formula to save money in my humble opinion, because these days it tastes nothing like it did 20-25 years ago...it gives me one hell of headache after only 4-5 bottles and leaves the foulest of tastes in my mouth.......l assume this is all caused by the chemicals replacing quality ingredients to save money.....move on people it’s time...these’s much better quality beer at a cheaper price available these days.

For over 30 years for me first choice always a special time to open a Crownie enjoyed the quality and flavour and lingering after taste... Not any more now seems it just a beer with no noticeable flavour it once as l drink a Crownie as l write this ... its lost its flavour and any evidence of a Premium beer... not any more will look a craft beer

Fantastic beer and I compliment the brewer. The packaging of the 6 pack is dreadful and whoever designed it is an idiot. You just need to tilt the package slightly and you finish up with smashed bottles. I have to use a Carona tray to repackage the bottles to stop losing them. I am changing beers after another two bottles smashed last night.

It is meant to be a lager and is very bitter.crown lager use to be fantastic but now it is clearly one of the worst.Unfortunately i still have 18 to drink but its going to be a battle.you seriously have to question if another brew is bottled under the crown name.

Ive had crowns over the years at different occasions, "crownies", for my taste in beer being a fan of pilsner and dark ales and against the IPA flower-fest, it sits around the middle in what I would choose to drink.

It has a creamier mouthfeel than other lagers, for example, Heineken is quite thin in comparison, I think its not far from Guinness for texture, which is fine with me.

The thing is, its very close to a more refined Victoria Bitter than anything else, nice bitterness, sweeter, leaves a decent malt taste and isnt super fizzy. I just...

I have been drinking Crown larger for over 40 years in the early days drank it on special occasions because it was too expensive to buy. Over the last 5 years ( when the new Crown was introduced) started to drink it every day because it was offered at a good price but to my horror ( complained 3 years ago ) the beer was always flat with a few bubbles but no head. The best brew ( Crown Larger) I have tasted over the last 5 years was the 2018/19 Christmas period a red holy picture on the carton so CUB you can do it. What is the problem? Also in...

Crown Lager used to have a full flavour when I last drank one 10 years ago. Now it joins the ranks of crap beers.

What the hell is happening to Crown Lager cartons and 6 pack holders? The last 4 months every carton of Crown I've bought, the carton is nearly coming apart. Trying to save money on glue or is it recycled carboard? One local bottleshop has taken to taping the cartons so beers don't fall out when ya pick it up. Also you used to have to wrestle to get the bottles out of the 6 pack holder, twice last month I've grabbed a 6 pack form the fridge, carboard gave way and lost 2 bottles on the kitchen floor. Great when you've got grandkids roaming through the kitchen, I should send them a bill for my time wasted cleaning all the glass off the kitchen floor!!!

Met up with my online "kayaking" buddies for the first time and bought a carton.
Couldn't have been more disappointed.
I personally won't touch the stuff anymore and now exclusively drink Chang.
There's nothing better than a cold Chang after a long hard kayaking session with the lads.

Crownies seem to have lost its hoppy creamy flavour, it's become a pretty ordinary drink. no longer a premium beer

I am a regular crown drinker. I have noticed that since the conversion to twist-off, some batches are flat and makes for unpleasant taste. The last case purchased was the worst.I don't know what to do about it -should I return it to the store I purchased it from or do I just cop it sweet?
Maybe I should change my brand.
