The Woolies I work in (a small semi-rural one) and the two I do my food shopping in (large metro ones) still stock the coopers cans.

It is the same beer as the Gage Roads IPA, just new packaging. The packaging should have changed over in most store over the last month dependant on sell-through

You guys might want to check the dates on threads before you start responding to them :P

That's made by Gage Roads (Or Independant Distillers if you're in the eastern states) exclusively for Woolworths.

I run a big chain liquor store. Yes that's right, I am the enemy

Depends on your ingredients, if you're using a prehopped can of goop then a 10 minute boil with some extract is fine.

Extract has already been boiled and had the break removed so boiling it again for that reason won't do anything

It's what they've already said. They wanted to make a beer that has mass market appeal in the hopes people will cross over to their ale range

Half of our boxes are missing labels on the bottles

It's being publicly launched next week. Some big thing to do with Australia Day. We have a bunch of it sitting in the storeroom but we aren't allowed to sell it until Monday.

The great thing about homebrew is you don't have to follow style guidelines. If you're just going to make your beers to the way someone else says they should be you might as well just buy it off the shelf

They redid their lager and light packaging a few months back. The more money they make on this sort of tripe the more they can spend developing better recipes

I got my 3kg digital scales (0.1g resolution) from dick smiths for about $15

"Woolworths Select Beer" has been around for a couple of years now. They've started expanding it this year with their stake in Gage Roads
