    I've been eying off this tasting pack at Dan's for awhile. I'll check my local BWS tomorrow (Salisbury SA) and will report back. Either way it's a great deal

    • Lodan on 13/03/2014 - 18:52

      Checked my local in SA and unfortunately they do not stock the pack.

      • coin saver on 15/03/2014 - 17:30

        picked up the last packs at enfield sa today (saturday}

    They're very good, especially their stout… yum !!!

    • boozler on 12/03/2014 - 22:34

      Thanks for the review. Gonna get 2 slabs tomorrow.

        You won't regret it…

        I did some tastings at Dan's a couple of years back when the brewer was in store.
        They were giving away a free beer stein with each slab. I wanted to buy a few different 6 packs and he put together a mixed slab and gave it to me at the slab price, plus got the free 1 litre stein…

        Had Gippsland gold, Hatlifter Stout, Natural Blonde and I think Yarra Gold. All great drinking, but stout was my favourite… (I hated stout until I tried theirs)

      • dhoneybun on 13/03/2014 - 14:53

        Tasting was good.

        Have two boxes (10 6 packs) put away for me to pick up this evening :)

    I went to a conference a couple years ago, and grand ridge brewery was the only beer of choice… Never heard so many complaints in my life.. I spent the night drinking wine..

    • jv on 12/03/2014 - 22:40

      Never heard so many complaints in my life.

      They were probably VB drinkers…

      Reviews :

      Hatlifter Stound

      Gippsland Gold

      Cons:
      nil, only 24 in a box

        Yeah seriously, I can't understand why any beer drinkers would be turning their noses up at Grand Ridge unless their tastes were very, very limited.

        I complain when I go to a pub and there's eight beers on tap and they're ALL THE SAME LAGER WITH DIFFERENT NAMES

  • TheAviator on 12/03/2014 - 22:42

    Will definitely be checking out my local BWS tomorrow. Great price!

  • kabammi on 12/03/2014 - 22:45

    BWS do all sorts of individual 1-off specials to clear stock in individual stores. I got 4 packs of feral hop hog for $8 instead of $17 at a bws once in Ferntree Gully. I went 2km to other bws stores and they all were $17.

    In summary: I wouldn't expect this price at any other store.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2014 - 00:02

      Have you gone out to check any other BWSs or are you negging based on an assumption? :)

      • Utopian on 13/03/2014 - 09:54

        Based on his previous experience, clearly.

    • sprucemoose on 13/03/2014 - 00:11

      $8 for Hop Hog? You lucky man!

    • Bypass on 13/03/2014 - 02:23
      +3

      why so many negs?, went to my local BWS today and they were on special for $20. So Kabammi has a valid point.

      • highdealer on 13/03/2014 - 03:19
        +3

        His valid point is not a good enough reason to neg, even though this is not available nation wide it might be available for a number of stores or at least available at South Yarra, Vic.
        There is nothing wrong with a deal even if it only available at specific store.

        • Bypass on 13/03/2014 - 08:59

          oh thats why, well then he deserves it

        • kabammi on 13/03/2014 - 19:31

          well thanks for clearing that up. however, that should be specified more clearly from the get-go. bws are just about everywhere, if someone gets a one off in a specific store and ends up wasting 300 peoples time chasing a ghost deal nationally, then that reflects badly on OB as a site. just saying.

      • tonester on 13/03/2014 - 16:37

        did you ask them to scan it?

      • Jesmond on 12/03/2014 - 22:58

        Would other BWS stores price match this?

        Do other liquor stores sell this, and would they price match it?

        • boozler on 12/03/2014 - 23:02

          Yes, try uncle dan.

        • AssociatedTnetennba @ BWS - Beer Wine Spirits on 13/03/2014 - 02:04

          Another store cannot price match it until their system allows it to be reduced automatically. I believe Dan Murphy's requires a special to be advertised, but I'm not sure 100%.

      • boozler on 12/03/2014 - 23:00

      it needs to be advertised.

    Sasparella beer? Whats the verdict?

  • effgee on 13/03/2014 - 00:06

    always +1 for cheap beer.
    would buy if there was a bws near me..why on earth dose woolies run 3 different liquor retailing brands ?

    • sprucemoose on 13/03/2014 - 00:14

      Isn't it just BWS & Dans these days? Or is there still some Woolworths liquor outlets out there that haven't been re branded?

      • jv on 13/03/2014 - 00:50

        All the Woollies I've been to lately have all been BWS….

          A national re-branding took place last year for all Woolworths Liquor stores to turn them into BWS.

    Checking the Dan Murphy's website, most of those beers from the 6 pack aren't even available for purchase. Bugger. Would hate to fall in love with one (or more) and never be able to acquire it easily again.

    +1 though. They sound delicious.

        I really want to try that Nut Brown Ale. It's not even available on the Grand Ridge website :( The SarsBEERilla Stout sounds intriguing also. Looks like it'll be Hatlifter instead. yum

  • randyyle on 13/03/2014 - 00:15

    haha what a coincidence, i just cracked open a bottle of these. I bought these a couple hours ago, they were meant for christmas gift packs but they didnt sell. So thats why its getting reduced. It tastes pretty nice too !

    • jv on 13/03/2014 - 00:56

      they were meant for christmas gift packs

      Easter Gift packs ????

    This is per-store and you will not be able to "match" it at another store or anything. You are best calling ahead to ask if your local store has them reduced yet. You may be lucky, however it is essentially random.

    • jakentta on 13/03/2014 - 08:35

      That's exactly what I was told in my local BWS too when I was after one of the earlier deals. So, you might get lucky, but probably not and you can't really expect anyone to match clearance stock pricing. Make sure to have a look around just in case there's something else reduced.

    This is a good beer company. When not drinking my own yummy homemade beer, this is one company I will drink from. Their moonshine is especially yummy. Chocco scotch! Best news is it only takes a few before weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

  • YOTR on 13/03/2014 - 07:45

  • ethereal88 on 13/03/2014 - 08:18

    4.9% isn't a stout. That is barely a porter. If you want real export or imperial stout, not something that tastes like watery coffee, then you want Coopers (which itself was watered down) or Southwark. All the major liquor stores here have close to zero stout imports. So you'd need to go elsewhere for North Coast, Nogne O, Mikeller, Brooklyn Brewery, Founders etc. And elsewhere will run you well over 150 a case due to Australia's mega spastic alcohol taxes.

    • jv on 13/03/2014 - 10:29

      4.9% isn't a stout. That is barely a porter.

      The difference between stout and porter is not the alcohol difference.

      • ethereal88 on 13/03/2014 - 11:43

        It is and always has been. Stouts (i.e. English foreign export + imperial) were meant to be strong. Guinness was up past 7% before it was watered down to 4%. There was no such thing as 5% stout. You needed the high alcohol to survive shipping it + to support the flavour. 5% stout is a travesty.

        • jv on 13/03/2014 - 11:46

          You needed the high alcohol to survive shipping it

          Shipping from Gippsland is next day delivery though ?

          Back in the 18th century. Your standard "modern stout" has been watered down and butchered, except for those brewers who still brew the originals (or variants).

  • jv on 13/03/2014 - 11:34

    it's random which stores may have it reduced

    I don't think it's truly random.
    I'm currently trying to work out the formula for it, will post back when I solve it… Hic !

  • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2014 - 11:39

    Kirribilli BWS next to Harbour Bridge have some, but the selection sounded crap, like all light beers pretty much, no stout.

    Hatlifter Stout

  • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 13/03/2014 - 21:51

    Scanned at $8 Melbourne QV, despite the $20 sign. Get this though - the horrible cashier chick told me I couldn't have it for $8. Don't you hate sanctimonious people?

    • XyleneFree on 13/03/2014 - 22:08

      Wow, if it scans at that price, and it's clearly a national promotion, I'd like to hear her reasoning for not letting you buy it. I'd go back and have a chat to the manager sometime. If they're all gone by then, a good manager would offer you something similar for the same price. It's not like you were trying to rip them off, it's clearly their promotion.
