$21 per case
Under $20 with cashback and discounted GC
4.0% alcohol so decent % alcohol per $
Surprisingly good reviews
Fully imported so you can tell your friends its special since theyve probably never heard of it
Does it taste good? At this price, I wouldn't care!
Bottle refund charge maybe?
$23 for a slab of imported dutch swill is pretty decent anyway.
Yeah I'll give it a go at this price, worst case it's the 'house beer' at a party.
Its an excellent beer.
Exactly what you would expect from a good dutch beer
Showing $23.10 in NSW, $21 in Victoria from all the stores I've checked online.
4.0% alcohol so decent % alcohol per $
Ah the $/% ratio. Suddenly, I don't feel so alone.
Btw, this works out at $66.29 per litre of pure alcohol, which equates to $18.56 for a 700ml bottle of 40% spirit, so yes cheap. Still nowhere near the $12.17 per litre of pure alcohol obtained via the 2 x 5L Coolabah goon bags for $26.60 (which incidentally equals a $3.41 bottle of spirit by content)
^^
this man knows!!
Oh, and drink responsibly.
In my opinion this still wins all time best bang for buck: https://images.app.goo.gl/7htxJkPMARfCFasQ7
OMG - The hangovers from that Nikov (#mispent youth)
Thanks for the memories
It comes to about $5 for 1l of 40° vodka if you take a distillation, rectification. Sugar,turbo yeast and water/electricity. But initially you need to invest into proper spirits distiller and rectification column.
plus your labour time
plus the risk - "Illegally distilling alcohol in australia" can result in penalties up to $85,000 or more or two years in prison.
Why so many brew shops around selling yeast and distillation equipment the the public?
@Michael1983: They sell the distillation equipment as it is legal to use it to make essential oils - lol
Not sure how many people get prosecuted so it may be worth the risk - up to the individual to decide.
So $28 for 4.6% Rivet Aldi beer all day every day, how does that stack up professor? That's my go to for home it's a decent beer for the price.
I wish bottle shops would show the price per 100ml or ltr on their tags the same way Woolies and Coles do for food.
I don't have the brains like this guy to calculate. It would definitely change the way I buy my booze if they did.
Sounds like an alcoholic purist if youi ask me.
Definitely has a chemistry degree
it looks like you're limited to one case per pickup???
my store is allowing max of 6
Restrictions apply to the number of products you can buy online for Pick up. Following purchase limits apply per transaction, per category: 6 cases of beer, 6 cases of cider, 6 cases of premixed spirits (RTDs), up to 120 bottles of wine, 30 bottles of spirits and 10 units of cask wine. Please update the quantities in your order accordingly to proceed.
I think its my liver telling me to stop at one slab and not to stock up my garage on cheap piss.
Nope
It's showing as 10+ available in a few of my nearby stores before I add to cart and then when I add to cart is says unavailable for pickup from this store. Anyone else getting the same?
Yeah I wouldn't trust the online stock counter, said my store would have 10+ slabs and I bought the last one on the shelf
Depends if you select cases or packs.
When I tried to order one case when my local store showed stock as "less than 10" it then said NO STOCK when i tried to place the order..
Went into store and found in actual fact stock was only one x 6 pack
So the website was correct though a bit misleading
howcome this is so cheap?
This beer is always cheap, it's an average brew IMO but some won't care and who knows, some might actually like it.
Its actually a VERY NICE BEER!
Dont be swayed by the cheap price.
This is definitely a beer bargain hunter's prize catch.
It’s a deleted line at my store
Correct
ON CLEARANCE
Nice. Never seen this beer so cheap
im impressed that you've heard of it!
I've had it a few times. It usually sells for around $30. It's actually a quite refreshing beer
Isnt that the Arc light at $30?
What is full price ?
apparently $30 which is an ok price for a knock off heinekin brand so at $23 stock up
I tried it today
Its definitely a very close Heinekin knock off at half the price!
Thanx OP, bought 2 slabs.
And I agree with you, at this price I don't care what it takes like either.
Dont worry
Tastes GREAT!
Get more if you can
Just bought another. Shared some of the last purchase with mates and no complaints from anyone. Buttons up!
It’s from a well known Dutch brewer, Bavaria. It’s an export only brand. I don’t rate it at all. Their light (2.5%) version though is one of my favourites. Funny because I typically don’t really like the taste of lower alcoholic beers. The light is on special as well. Thanks OP!
Yeah I agree. Can't get the light any more though. I recon the Lorryboys (2 for $70) - rolling 20% cashback + flybuys points is a better deal and heaps better beer. Plus it's 24 X 375ml vs this at 24 x 330ml.
Never had those, will give them a go next time. I just ordered the Arc Valley Light from my local DM.
Lorryboys (2 for $70) - rolling 20% cashback
Where is this from mate?
Firstchoice/Liquorland/Coles then cashback via either of the big 2.
I just had a quick look on LL and looks like they are back to $42 a slab (but 2000pts of $50 spend).
I prefer the summer ale (a bit Fat yakish), the Pale ale has a pine / floral hop that isn't my thing. Haven't tried the draught.
I agree with you regarding the light version of this beer, it's a good drop (for a light beer)
I tried the light version once because it was so cheap.
Didnt like it at all
But the full speed version is EXCELLENT!
Best before: 06/2021. That's why it's so cheap
What do you think will go wrong with industrial euro lager at the end of June?
mine are 10/2021.
Nope, mine are good til November. Checkout guy told me they're no longer carrying this.
Mine is best before 09/2021
$23.10 in QLD
Broadmeadows, VIC: 330ml bottles.
$21.00 per case of 24 and $6.30 per pack of 6
Looks like an Aldi brand (mediocre/dull labelling) though.
Much better than anything Aldo sells
$23.80 in WA, bought to try, thanks OP!
Yep same for me $23.80 in Perth
I got the light i rate it highly
I would be irate if I got the light as well
Tastes like a water. Had 4 bottles now and no effect at all
Very poor taste in beer my freind.
But everyone is entitled to thier opinion.
Leave it to us to drink
This post is making me thirsty
You must be confusing this with the pretzel deal
it's alright taste wise. But it doesn't agree with me for some reason. Some ingredient triggers me to feel like crap, like many foods and drinks. Coopers generally doesn't
Does it taste good? At this price, I wouldn't care!
Re-evaluate your priorities mate!
If you like Dutch beers its Excellent!
Showing as $29.70 here on Gold Coast.
Tourist prices.
$21 in Tas, Launceston store is showing stock available.
Another benefit of cheap beer like this is you get stock bottles for refilling with home brew. That’s less than $1 each alone without even taking into consideration the contents.
Giving Rivets a run for their money.
Thanks op. Just picked up the last 2 Slabs from Kingsford Dan Murphy's
You must have got the last ones.
Tried to get some there on Sunday night but no stock.
Had to go all the way to Wolli Creek but got 3 cases.
GREAT BUY!
last 2 cases in the fridge and 6 pack on the shelf haha
This item is on CLEARANCE as its a discontinued line.
So jump on any stock you find quickly.
HOT TIP: I got 3 cases at Wolli Creek store in Sydney and they might have a few more.
Nothing else around the south and eastern suburbs of Sydney unfortunately.
I also managed to grab a 6 pack at my local store for $6.30 and tried it before i committed to buying the 3 cases so you can guess on what I thought of this beer - highly recommended !
Would have bought even more cases if not for the BEST BY 09/2020 date.
My local stores all said none available a few days ago, but now they seem to have stocked up
2 cases ordered, for pickup!
Thanks op!
Gone up to $28.90 per case in VIC over night
Annoying, car was getting serviced, was literally gonna drive down and give it a try tonight, thankfully I checked the site before braving the wilderness.
I got 3 cases. Not a bad beer at all for the price. Bland but refreshing and smooth. It scanned as $29.90 in one store but I showed them the website price $23.10 and they reduced it.
Did anyone else order the premium lager and receive the premium light instead (2.7% alcohol)? I only just checked the carton and they posted me the the light beer instead the one I ordered.
I need more of this in my life.
Showing as $23.10 at my local in NSW
