How are you, bro?
Can you recognize the two names in the title?
They are kind of drink - beer and rum coke. Have you known them already??
If you so, you might have been Queensland before...
Anyway, let me explain in these background today.
First, both of them are made in Queensland, thats why if you go to a pub in Queensland, you can get them everywhere and these drinks are alway on tap and available for Queenslander.
Actually I'm always drunk them in my work place by my boss after work on Friday. And then they go and drink a pub in the city on Friday night.
My boss always organizes them for workmates and the people work under him. and they work off their daily frustrations and accumlated fatigue in the week over drinking.
And I looked into the roots for 'xxxx Gold' and 'Bundaberg Rum'. For instance, how were they begun running, by whom was built etc... Anyway I wanted to know the history of them, mate!!
XXXX Gold is growing rapidly outside of Queensland and is now the second largest beer brand in Australia.
XXXX was brewed under licence in the UK and was commonly available in cans in British off licences. It could also sometimes be found on tap in British pubs, although it was much less widely available than Foster's (which is found in many UK pubs).
The XXXX's brand was first introduced in 1924 and is a throwback to the long standing tradition of using Xs to indicate the strength of an ale.
The history of Bundaberg Rum began over one hundred years ago in the Bundaberg sugar cane region of Central Queensland. Bundaberg first began producing commercial sugar in 1872.
Oneday The farmers knew it could be converted into rum and little distilleries cropped up all over Queensland.
In 1888, several of the small sugar producers banded together to float a new public company. This promptly set about making the product that quickly became 'Famous' for its taste and quality.
It's a little bit of trivia, merely a general knowledge for Queenslander.
Thanks.
このタイトルの２つの名称、なんだかわかりますか？
正解は、「お酒」の銘柄。
これら２つとも、ここQueensland州産のモノで、XXXX Goldがビール、Bundabergがカクテル。ちなみにXXXXは「フォーエックス」と読みます。
XXXXの方は、ビターと２種類あって、Bundabergはラムをコーラで割った、ラムコーク（キューバリバー）というお酒。
自分はあんまお酒飲めないんで、うまいかどうかは断言できないのが残念ですが、とりあえずラムコークの方は甘ったるい！！しかもすぐ酔いが回る。。
うちの仕事先の社長さんも、仕事終わったらこればっか飲んでるし、飲まされるし、ほんま誇りもってるんかして、やたらと熱く語ってくる。うっとしいぐらいに。。。
んで、この機会にちょっと調べたんやけど、この「X」ってのは、昔はお酒の濃度を示すものさしだったそうで、４つも付いてるからそれなりに強いお酒やったみたい、さらにイギリスのパブでも結構親しまれてるビールで、オーストラリア国内では２番目に大きなビール会社だそうです。
ラムの方は、１００年も昔、サトウキビで有名だったBundabergという小さな町の住民達が、この豊富な砂糖をラムに変えて製造できるのではないか、というアイデアから急速に成功を収め、現在のような有名ブランドとしての地位を築き上げたそう。
ちょっと長くなったけど、どうでもいい豆知識でした。笑
まぁ、オーストラリア来る方は、一度試しに飲んでみるのもいいんじゃないでしょうか？
ではでは！！
