100% MADE IN AUSTRALIA

http://danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_710888/ol-bluey-alcoholi…

$19.60 for 24 bottles. Was $69. Or $4.90 for six pack. Was $20.

Note: this is not real 'Ginger Beer'.Ingredients listed are fruit wine, sugar, flavour and preservative 220, added to make it taste like Ginger Beer. But it tastes more like Sangria, to me. I like both Sangria and Ginger Beer, so that's fine. (Commonwealth-government Alcohol excise is cheaper for Wine)

4% Alcohol.

I bought 3 cases online and 1 case from Dan murphys Hornsby (Sydney)- none left there now! Very few physical Dan Murphys stores have any left, btw. Also at some Woolworths Liquors - but Gosford Woolworths Liquor (NSW Central Coast) has none left now.

You can also use all Free Delivery codes with this, if you buy at least a $2.70 Wine; as well as Cashback affiliates.

    I'm a huge fan of this, regardless of how it is actually made :p

    Cheers for the deal, will get a few more cases this evening.

    EDIT - just clicked 'click and collect' for 4 cases…addicted. great 'ginger beer' for this fking st weather we are having in adelaide at the moment.

    $4.75 for. 6 pack or $27 for a carton 6x6 packs of bundaberg ginger beer at golden circle factory outlet. Would go for this for taste over any others.

          Ginger = a flavour. Have you had alcoholic Ginger Beer before? It's nothing like Bundaberg (or any other sugar filled soft drink).

          Bluetongue do a true Ginger Beer. It's awesome. Refreshing and brilliant ice cold. I'm guessing this will be similar. I bought 2 cartons =)

        • StewBalls on 13/12/2012 - 12:27

          +1 to the Bluetongue…I'm gathering (from the anecdotes) that this will be sweeter, more like Stones etc.

        • Okgo on 14/12/2012 - 08:30

    preservative 220

    How does Sulphur Dioxide affect my body?
    Sulphur is associated with a range of food intolerance symptoms including; headaches, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), behavioural disturbances & skin rashes. But is best known for it’s harmful effects on asthmatics.

    Sweet, I can get smashed & play up like a secondhand watch…then blame it on the preservatives! :p

    • Okgo on 13/12/2012 - 09:15

      Correct. All wine has preservative 220.

      • chewbot on 13/12/2012 - 10:01

        Actually. Lots (probably most) of wine has preservative 220.

        All of the large and many smaller bottleshops stock preservative free wine.

        • Okgo on 13/12/2012 - 10:24

          Youre right. I think Organic wine is also preservative free.

        • jv on 13/12/2012 - 14:39

          Organic wine is also preservative free.

          nope, they're in the same section as Dan's, but not all organic ones are preservative free…

      • ilikebargains on 13/12/2012 - 10:56

        All wine does NOT have 220 in it. Cheaper wine often has it, but there are many types that don't, like Lindemans, De Bortoli and so on. I know as a family member has an intolerance to it so goes for wines that are basically just wine, with sulphites.

    • dtorr on 13/12/2012 - 12:48

      The grapes you buy from supermarkets are all treated with sulphur dioxide.

    This stuff is TERRIBLE. So bad I wanted to take it back. Even spending a $1 on this is too much! Seriously.

    It's not ginger beer. You won't even taste ginger. It's wine cooler. Think bad West Coast Cooler (if you're old enough). Terrible taste, terrible aftertaste. It shouldn't be able to label itself as ginger beer.

    • enforcer on 13/12/2012 - 11:01

      Agreed, I'm glad I didn't try it when it was new and expensive.

    • Yarkin on 13/12/2012 - 11:08

      I have to agree. Not very gingery. Perhaps I would have liked it more if I wasn't expecting ginger.

    Definately drinkable.

    But agree with the Tastes like bad west coast cooler comment above!

  • nubzy on 13/12/2012 - 11:13

    The Rose River ginger beers are approximately ten billion times better than this swill and available in the same store.

    Lick Pier, despite the stupid label, is arguably even better. And also available from Dans.

    But neither is even close to just mixing Fever Tree ginger beer and a nice white rum, like Flor de Cana or Havana Club Anejo. Makes up for the inherent weakness of brewed ginger beers, too.

    • Okgo on 13/12/2012 - 11:34

      And a 'billion' times more expensive, too.

    • jaybo on 13/12/2012 - 21:12

      yeah the rose river stuff is amazing, but as okgo points out, stupidly expensive :~(

      my mates and i home brew some stuff which is quite good, last batch had a mega ginger kick to it but at least it's not fruit wine :D

      • ryang on 13/12/2012 - 23:12

        Love home made ginger beer! I made some last summer - couple bottles nearly exploded in the heat..

        And then, when it came time to share with the kids, it had such a kick that I had to drink it all myself. We actually came to the conclusion that it'd fermented - nice little surprise. :)

  • xyron on 13/12/2012 - 11:44

    This was a bargain at $30 for a carton, its even more of a bargain at $20. people expecting stones ginger beer on a coles brand diet soda water budget are just deluding themselves.

    Seriously, a few of these at the end of a 38 degree Adelaide day go down easier than a wet frog down a leaking pipe.

    • Okgo on 13/12/2012 - 11:46

      Surprised it took this long for someone to mention Stones! Tempted to get some of this crap, but after all the comments I think I'll pass.

      Still got some of that out-of-date cider in the fridge, can't bring myself to drink the last of that either. So bad.

    No cases left it seems? tried to put more than one six pack in cart and kept getting a page not found error, just ordered the one. Trying again now it seems like I can put another single one in my cart, could checkout seperately (am picking up) but will they honor it?

  • Gav on 13/12/2012 - 12:22

    Oh yeah, make sure you check the expiry date (on the neck of the bottle). The ones I got had a very short best before date on them (1 week or so).

    Although it's still fine to drink, it might start going bad if you don't plan to drink it reasonably soon.

    I don't know what everyone's complaining about; taste OK to me, even half warm. Hot day helps I guess.

    Kew reckon they've got heaps more, couldn't explain why i could only order 3 packs max, maybe if you want 4 you have to order by the case.

    I have to say the Dan Murphys website is abysmal. Gives the wrong prices, the amount in stock in any given store is never correct. Hopeless, you'd think a major operation could do better.

      That's all for now. I think I had the Malvern store set during the order.

      Because I bought a cheap bottle of wine to get free shipping they had dispatched the wine already and said I could return it to sender but that sounds like more effort than it's worth for $3 - very frustrating.

    Just cracked open my first one and I like it! I'm fussy & have expensive taste when it comes to Scotch and Beer. But flavoured alcohol such as this, still goes down nicely. I think there is enough of a Ginger Flavour in it to warrant the branding.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_beer

    "Ginger beer is a carbonated drink, that is flavored primarily with ginger and sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners."

    Actually, it's delicious, refreshing, wish I had ordered a case!
