Melbourne beer drinkers cheers Victoria Bitter's return to full-strength brew - The Australian

WEAK-as-water Victoria Bitter is now just a bitter memory as the lid comes off the new full-strength brew.

Beer lovers will today say cheers to the back-to-basics VB, with Carlton & United Breweries caving in to canned-off drinkers.

The Aussie thirst quencher's alcohol content was lowered to 4.6 per cent in 2009 to save money on excise tax.
