$45 cases of Coronas at the Bottle-o near mine :D

They were $40 at Dan Murphy's last week. Walking out the fucking door, they were.

Damn Australian terminology. I don't quite know what you mean by a case but I got a 12 box of 330ml cans of Tui for $13.99NZ on sale last week.

A crate is anywhere between $32 and $40NZ for 12 x 750ml.

A case in Australia is 24 stubbies.

At the time i could afford it as i was working, but it's still fucking pricey.

The only explanation i could come up with is the Coogee Bay is still paying off the lawsuits from the 'shit' scandel :lol:

That, or they're just greedy sons-of-bitches. Probably closer to the mark, but i was happy with my at the time explanation :lol:

Ahhh.

Woolworths reliably informs me that a 'case' of Tui is $27.99 NZD ($21 AU, according to XE)

A six pack of Carlton Cold bought here comes to around $7.50 AU.

Never had Coldies before about a month ago. Wasn't sure what to expect, $13.50 a six pack at my local bottlo, they're private owned, not a coles/woolies bottlo so that's not bad.

I actually quite liked the Coldies, i was expecting almost a Fosters. Much better then i origianlly expected, they're not the best beer ever, but they seem to go down easily enough. And they're a decent price.

Would definitely get a 6er of Coldies over something like Carlton Draught.

Bought a 6-pack of Pure Blondes this evening (regular) - whats the differance between Regular PBs and PBs White.

I know Naked PBs are Low-strength beers for pissweak kids. :lol:

Currently enjoying a bottle of Huntington Estate 2007 Mudgee Vintage Port.

pbs whites are a wheat beer

Good choice, I'm living off Pure Blondes these days, such a good beer.

TED Platinums are decent too, taste is questionable but they do the job in getting you nicely plastered before you go out

Bough one large Dare Iced Coffe and 3 350mL cartons of Brownes milk in Spearmint, Choc Berry and Double Shot Iced Coffee. Jizz.

..... was there vodka in it to make it a funky white russian?

Could not find any.

Any good?

not really, but saying that they aren't a terrible beer, but there is other beers I would rather spend my money on

I'm a massive fan of Regular Pure Blondes. My favourite Aussie Beer.

$6.50 pots of Heineken at the Woolwich Pier Hotel in Sydney. Decent Price

James Squire Golden Ale is a very good aussie beer

any james squire is a good beer

Had a sip of a friends at the RSL a couple weeks back, wasn't too bad. Next time I go somewhere where it's on tap, i'll have to try it.

My local has it on tap now. Decided to have a few schooners of it on the weekend. Very yummy!. It's shuffled up alongside Coopers Pale Ale in my top 3 Aussie Beers now. Keen to try their Pilsner too.

The Golden Ale and the Pilsner are both very drinkable on tap.

Had some German beer at the Clock Hotel last night... $8 for 500ml, bargain considering i bought an Asahi for $9.50 before hand... then i got cut off, then i got kicked out

What kind of bar enforces RSA these days? Geeze!! Some people :roll:

Ordered a Perroni tonight while I was out for dinner...fucking italian restaurant with italian beers brewed in Sydney. Not impressed :evil: tastes nothing like it's meant to.

There is a Squires - The Chancer Golden Ale now.

Having Coopers Sparkling tonight - the original and still the best.

Anyone else use www.boozle.com.au?

good site for comparing local alcohol prices.

I hate Peroni. Iv'e only had it on a handful of occasions, and I just don't like it. :-&

Nastro Azzuro is the perfect accompaniment to wood fired pizza. Dig it.

Which is EXACTLY what I was eating...however, it was Sydney brewed Peroni and was just wrong. I was disappoint.

Went to a new club, (it had no tap beer) figured I'd try a new beer. Got a Magners, paid $15 for it. Turned out to be Irish Cider. Shit Price, Shit Beer.

Would be my favourite beer, but I tend to get drunk very quickly off it so it is reserved for special occasions. James Squire Gold and Fat Yak to a lesser extent are the alternatives I usually turn to.

Lately I've been hitting up the cleanskin red wines. Warm and cheap. Goes well with chocolate.
