Sorry, not free delivery. My mistake

I'm dreaming of a Leffe Christmas, da de da de da dee dum. Am also fighting my instinct to hit the go to chechout button at Aldi Online Liquor. In order to get free delivery, a $200 purchase is needed, so I'm thinking:
1 carton Leffe Blonde (24 X 330 ml) @ $59.99
1 carton Leffe Brune (24 X 330 ml) @ $69.99
1 carton Leffe Radieuse (24 X 330 ml) @ $69.99

Damn! 3 cents short. What the heck, I'm feeling generous. Throw in a Barwang Chardonnay @$14 for the missus since chrissie is a time for giving.

Thanks for the heads up, Earle.

Zoomed into Aldi at Coffs Harbour on the way past yesterday and no Leffe, but they still had a heap of Karmeliter Weissbier 3L kegs for $20 so it wasn't a wasted trip.

12 months warranty how long does a Tv last now.

Luckily, under Australian consumer laws, we have something called Automatic Consumer Guarantees (AKA "Implied Warranty" in Contract Law).
That is why Extended Warranties are a rip-off and should only be purchased if the seller explains in plain English that it will cover you beyond Automatic Consumer Guarantees.
If you are offered an extra 12 months cover on an item for a price, ask if they expect it to break down in under 3 years. When you are told "No, it will last longer than that", not only have you been given a statement about the expectations of the goods by the seller that then has to be met under Consumer Law, but you have also been given a reasonable length of coverage governed by Automatic Consumer Guarantees.

Looks like Aldi is supporting Oktoberfest with beer glasses and steins in the catalogue for next Wednesday.

Didn't notice if there's any Oktoberfest beer in the liquor specials yet.

I believe they have the 5 litre kegs of Franziskener and some other one I cant remember for $29 dollars each

Karmeliter wheat beer? 3 litre kegs.

 

[Bribie G]

That seems to be in already, I picked one up from Coffs at the weekend and asked if it was leftovers from the special a few weeks ago, he said it was fresh stock. Les and I picked up some a few months ago as well. So they are obviously getting shitloads of Karmeliter in regularly, hopefully it will become a fairly standard line as they always disappear quick smart $$$$

From the Aldi, or your fridge?

I think the other is Paulaner Munchener Hells....which I don't think they've stocked before.
Sounds pretty good though.
I like the 4 pack mixed selections personally.

 

[goatchop41]

They will also have 6 packs of hofenbraü weiss and lager (helles)?

Beer glasses.

Beer glasses.

Looks like more variety then previous years, but they all have a logo on them now.

Does anyone know if these kegs are refillable?

Yup.

i refilled mine a couple of times before i got big boy kegs.
they dont do force carbonating tho. so you have to naturally carb

A dispenser and CO2 is best if you are not going to drink the lot in a day or 2

sounds good, maybe I'll get a couple for little-boy kegging

Will be interesting comparing my Marzen to some of these. I feel a blind tasting with pretzels and Bratwurst coming on.

 

[Weizguy]

Don't forget the sauerkraut

Geez that looks good. Wish we had aldi liquor up here. Looks like only one Marzen though, rest will most likely be festbier. The 2015 BJCP guidelines offer a good explanation of the difference.
