Carlton and United Breweries, whose major brewery is in Abbotsford, Melbourne, wants the Victorian state government to include breweries in the “essential services” that remain open as the country experienced a run on liquor stores Sunday as buyers panicked and stormed outlets to buy as much alcohol as they could.
“Carlton & United Breweries, Australia’s largest brewer, is greatly concerned about no beer being available in Australia for at least three months if beer is not given exempt status, and what this would mean for tens of thousands of jobs,” a spokesman told the Australian newspaper.

Think Americans went nuts over toilet paper? Watch Australia if there's even a hint of a beer shortage.

This won’t take long in Australia.
The beer will flow or the government will fall.

All they have to do is show that a wash with beer disables coronavirus on surfaces and problem solved.

The Aussie Gov. can get away with this because they have taken most of the guns away.

Right. It's essential. Absolutely!!!
If there is no beer, beer drinkers will start drinking wine.
If beer drinkers drink wine, wine prices will skyrocket.
If the price of wine skyrockets, I will suffer.
I will either have to drink less wine or cheaper wine.
This can not be permitted to happen people!!!!!

They will go bat sh-t crazy and take over the world. They will run amuck. If they run out of beer (and their Fosters sucks) we must sent them beer by the tanker load least they conquer the planet.
During this crisis it is always good to laugh when we can. :)
