Why has James Boag's Premium Lager price increased?
It was $59.99 on Dan Murphy's last week for a carton. It is now $57.95.
I remember buying them for around $45? Don't get me wrong these are great lagers at $45 but close to $60 is just close to buying craft beers at $70 a case.
have not tried them before but it certainly has the looks of a boag's premium
Grab a sixer and see how you go.
Wouldn't be paying $60 for a carton. I've just had Dan Murphy come up at $54 for me (which is still a bit pricey). Beers just seem to go through cycles of which ones are on discount. Personally I've found I can always get something I want for around the $45 - $48 mark.
Mind you, this is still a far cry from when I used to be able to get a carton of New for $20 on special. Good times!
BWS has it for 2 for $96 which is considerably closer to what I am willing to pay for
That's a fair price, so long as you're happy to take two.
Boag's is my go to… Normal price at Thirsty Camel is $54.98, but they'll drop down to $50ish on special, sometimes $45.
The home-brew equivalent from Brewcraft is not a bad approximation if you have the time and inclination (also their Southwark Premium approximation is pretty good too).
All of that beer has gone up - Becks used to be 36 a carton for the fully imported, now its 50-60. It's not even worth buying that stuff anymore, might as well spend an extra 5-10 bucks and get some decent craft beer.
is it also cause of the NSW scheme of Container Deposit Scheme (CDS), Return and Earn?
Of course the problem is the ever increasing tax applied. A carton of full strength beer (24 x 375mL @ 5%) has $16.83 worth of tax in the price from what I can make out.
i thought drinking was an Australian culture. y try to kill it?
You pay 18c more per bottle since December 1 =$4.32 extra per carton, for the recycling scheme.

Dan murphys price match
I like Amatos in Leichhardt or Mr Liquor outlets as they sell parallel import beers.
Boags is a lion nathan/tooheys product which are often expensive for what they are, because of marketing and local production costs.

DAB, Peroni Red, Paulaner, hoegaarden, blue moon, modelo especial
