Bottled Beer In Canberra

[bennyc]

Neonmeate's post on Platinum Cellars just reminded me - does anyone know of the best place to get a good range of imported beer in Canberra? I've been to Dan Murphy's in Belconnen a few times, but I'm wondering if there's more fertile ground somewhere...

Cheers

Great, thanks Steve - right under my nose! I go to Fyshwick markets fairly regularly but have never actually walked the ten extra meters into Plonk before :lol:

Thanks Steve. Will drop in there in February and see said Dan ! Went to Dan Murphys Belconnon last Sunday and a little disappointed in the range. It was goodish, extraordinarily better than say Liquorland, but nothing other than a Velkopopovicky Kozel Cerny jumped out and bit me (ignored the Belgium's - still not a fan). Re stocked my wine cellar though !

I was working in Canberra a month or so ago. First Choice (I think it was called) in Mort St just up from the shopping centre had a pretty good range including some stone jar dubel, tripel quadrupels

Holy jesus! That's an impressive looking list of beers.
And I just happen to be down the way in a months time...

 

[bennyc]

Great recommendation, just went down today and Dan convinced me to come to one of the Canberra Brewers meetings...have always meant to get there since I moved here, but think I'll actually do it now!

I heard that the liquorland in Oaks Estate has a decent import/craft range as well, and is very competitively priced, but I haven't been there myself.
