Why are beers and ciders so expensive in Australia, and where are the deals?

I like a good beverage after a stressful day. Cider seems cheaper than beer, because I think it seems to be taxed less? Is this right?

For a thrifty beverage I've found:

  • Aldi Rivet is quite drinkable for a lager
  • Coopers Best Extra Stout
  • Coopers XPA
  • Mercury Cider - Although a slab of this seems to have gone from $70 to almost $90 in a couple of months at DM.

Any others, and from where?

Cheers

Looking for Labatt Blue

Hey!

Maybe not the right place to post but my partners birthday is coming up and he would love to experience some labatt blue again (had it once before and loved it) but can’t find anywhere to buy in Australia? If anyone knows where I can buy it here or ship it here please let me know! Thanks!

ATO payment plans for breweries

So why did Mighty Craft get a payment plan but Deeds got denied?? Anyone got any insight, seems very unfair for the ATO to drop the hammer like this on small business.

Mexican Coronas

Hey fellas,

Not sure how many corona drinkers we have here, but if you are one, I'm sure you've noticed a difference in the last few months.

The sly cunts changed their brewing location from Mexico to China.... leading to a much inferior beer with poor after taste/taste, less carbonation, and no cool party trick pops we all love.

Now, Mexican coronas are still out there.. I was in Boonah (country town near Brisbane) recently and a sign from god lead me to a locally owned tavern with a bottleo stocking the mexian coronas.

Im wondering if anyone has had any luck with a bottleo closer to the city in Brisbanes North which is also stocking this precious nectar?

Cheers

hello I am in the process of getting a beer made for me by a brewery so I can sell it, aka contract brewing.

I am unsure of what licenses or steps we need to take before we can sell our beer elsewhere eg a bottleshop or a pub?
or are there any other details about anything I should look at, Im new to all this sorry

Thanks everyone!

Anyone aware of any petitions re: the price of beer in Aus?

It's getting crazy. We must be paying some of the highest prices in the world.

Pilsner Urquell - impossible to find. [PERTH]

This is an all time favourite of mine, until recently was available from Uncle Dan's, but not at the moment. Searching around online isn't revealing anything...

Does anyone know where to get my hands on some? I'm in Perth but happy to pay shipping. Not too fussed on container size at this stage. Any Czech folk with a hook up? Na zdraví!

Would you take a job in the craft beer industry in Aus?

Hey all just keen on everyone's outlook for the independent / craft brewing industry in Aus?

Would you feel comfortable taking a job that services the industry in Australia? Not talking specific breweries but more so the industry in general.

Obviously a few closing their doors etc over the past 12 months, would you take a role in the industry or do you think it would be a risk?

Am I am idiot for wanting to drink these?

I just cleaned my drinks fridge out for the first time in...a while. Stored up the very back, behind everything, in an upright position was two bottle of Coopers Vintage, 2014 edition.
They've been refrigerated from day one of getting them. Had one bottle every couple of years from the last 6 pack of the slab.
Some friends and the house are saying it's a bad idea to imbibe, but I'm brave.

What's everyone's thoughts on consuming an aged 10-year-old vintage ale?
