Beer Prices Over The Top?

[Nick JD]

This thread is ironic on a homebrewing forum.

We get tax free alcohol, yet the fools who buy 2 cartons a week are paying for our liver transplants.

And we're complaining.

Might be a good idea to be a bit more quiet, or there'll be tax on the grain and hops and yeast.

Haha, Nice one!

I only ever buy a few slabs a year now for parties, Requested by the wife for "guests who don't want to drink your Homebrew cos it's too flavoursome" :lol:
Walking through Dan's last week and I saw Hoegaarden on sale for $48/slab. Checked the used by date, then immediately grabbed it.
Wife then complained that I bought a beer with too much flavour.
No guests complained though, and for once, more commercial stuff went than my HB.

I'll save a stubbie for Merc's Witbier Vinegarette.

A friend of mine exports beer for sale in a different country and doesn't pay the AU govt. excise. I saw the distributor price list a couple of years ago. A case of Tooheys New stubbies was $9 - minimum order 500 cases. Kinda puts in perspetive how much the govt. are making out of the alcohol trade.
