For the past fifteen years, there’s been an unidentifiable emptiness in my heart — one that I could never quite comprehend. Today, I have finally found the clarity and cause of this deep, bottomless, black hole. The absence of the Reschs Silver Bullet tinnie from offie shelves.

It’s been an arduous 15 years since the piss lovers of New South Wales have been able to crack open a tinnie of Reschs pilsener. The beloved cans were replaced with significantly less hectic glass bottles. That deprivation has finally come to an end. Carlton & United Breweries have announced that the holy and sacred tins will be returning to bottle-o’s near you from next week.

The society was founded a decade ago, and built on a foundation of the Silver Bullet’s strongest advocates. Their hard work has not gone unnoticed, the group will get a shoutout at the bottom of each carton.

This momentous affair is set to be celebrated on Saturday, August 15th at a gathering at the Imperial Pub in Paddington. If you, like me, are feeling a little anxious about the impending coronavirus spike. Perhaps pre-order a slab of these boys and rustle up a few of your nearest and dearest to celebrate with an intimate tin-cracking ceremony.
