I used to be a loyal supporter of a certain european beer brand. then they disappeared from SA for a while, so i switched to another one. then, whoo-haa, they come back, but guess what, im no longer interested. If u disappear from the market like that, without any communication, don't expect me to stay loyal to your brand.

Nice avatar! And welcome to you, all the way from ... SA is South Africa? Great to have you here. How did you feel about them disappearing, what were your emotions?

Wow, I don't think I've ever had an experience where my favourite brand vanished. I'd probably be quite thrown if it did.

Lots of imports come and go, most irritating. Not too bad if they give you warning and explain why they are pulling out, but I agree with you Pacifico...come the weekend I also want to know I can rely on my favourite beer to keep me company through rugby matches!

I have a beer policy you might think is odd, but it works for me. I am happy to drink any beer in a green bottle. I prefer glass, it feels classier than a can. It's got to be cold too. So I am loyal to all brands of beer dressed in nice, frosty green bottles. I don't mind whether they're local or imported - I think I drink imported ones when trying to fake being smooth If I have to drink a beer out of a clear bottle, I don't have any particular emotions or issues about it, but there is perhaps a faint sense of disappointment. However ... If I am forced to quaff an ale from a brown bottle, I feel actively disappointed and miffed about it. Until about the third bottle.

I am not a big beer drinker but will under duress, like boiling hot summer days in Cape Town, have one. I also like it in bottles, icy cold but wasn't ever really into '10 green bottles hanging on a wall' so any colour will do.

Hm, beer brands, that's a topic in itself!
