Beercartel it is - and a great reminder for me to go into the shop too - thanks for that!

I want to send a friend in Brisbane some beer but living in Sydney I have no idea of the local shops worth using. Can anyone help??? Thanks in advance

Just going through a similar problem too. This time though, the bottles have been in the cellar for about 4 months and are now starting to be 'foamers' rather than 'gushers'. Never used to have this problem when I primed each bottle individually, had some hang around fine for three years, but...

Another shop, which is probably pushing the boundaries of 'Sydney' is Leura Cellars. Always make a stop whenever I'm in the area, even if I'm not too close to the area. Good selection of Euro and UK stuff, and also Unibroue and a few others. Also worth it for their selection of Aussie stuff...
