Life's Pleasures Quote by Brody Armstrong

A line like this lands because it’s both a brag and a joke you’re invited to be in on. “We drink VB” isn’t really about beer; it’s about belonging. Brody Armstrong reaches for a brand that’s practically shorthand for a certain kind of Australian mateship: pub loyalties, footy-adjacent bravado, the unspoken hierarchy of what’s “real” versus what’s trying too hard. Naming it in full - “Victoria Bitter” - is part mock-ceremonial, part proud. It treats an everyday lager like a flag.

“Which is way better” does the heavy lifting. It’s deliberately blunt, almost childish in its certainty, the sort of claim you make in a loud room where the point isn’t to win an argument but to perform confidence. That overstatement gives the quote its charm: it’s provincial and self-aware at the same time, advertising authenticity while winking at how arbitrary these loyalties are.

Coming from a musician, the subtext leans cultural rather than culinary. Scenes are built on signals: what you drink, where you stand, which brands telegraph “us” and which scream “them.” Armstrong’s phrasing turns consumer choice into identity with a grin, the way band culture often does - creating a mythology out of the ordinary, then daring you to challenge it. It’s not snobbery; it’s tribal humor with a cold can in hand.
