Coopers Green
Abbotsford invalid stout
Löwenbräu
DAB but its gone up to $54.95

Apparently invalid stout is one of the few CUB products thats all grain, no adjuncts.

What's your favorite carton of beer for under a pinapple ($50) yes we all like the fancy craft beers but whats your go to cheaper alternative

Mine is coopers pale ale being a south aussie its hard to go past.
yeah pale ale buts thats easy to beat with home brewing. Even if you just brew the can version.
Home brew ingredients price as low as $7.00 a slab! for me.
What are you guys doing paying $50 a slab for lesser/ordinary flavors? :)
 
I wish I could brew every 2week but wife and kids are selfish like that. I'm slowly teaching my 2.5 year old how to brew. He can't count enough to weight the grains but he's almost there.

Sometimes we get Asahi for $50.
Asahi stubbies are ****. The label has "Fully Imported" all over it, but actually they are brewed under licence in Beijing! Might be allright if they were actually brewed in Japan, but they are not.

Lately I've been buying Coopers Mild ($36 or so).
Yeah, that's pretty decent, and you can get cans. Good for camping.

Pay an extra 7 bucks and coopers sparkling ale comes with 12 very cool and sustainable rock solid refillable beer-bottles. Win win.
And it's almost 6%!

Tastes good too.
 
Had a few of them tonight..

I am an Old fan, Stubbies cold on ice are remarkably nice in summer

Hop Thief for $40 from Dans.
If you are referring to the $10 for a 6 pack deal, it is limited to 3 six packs per day...for members.

Yenda Pale Ale $49.95 at Dan's for members

All JS six packs for $12 or a case for $45 at BWS with a Woolies docket voucher
 
Lowenbrau, or Henninger! both generally under $40 and delicious.

Online, yes. Not in-store or maybe that's just the friendly lads at my local Dans who are happy to let cartons go for $40.
 
Must be your local. Applies in-store in Alexandria and Wolli Creek, NSW. But then, they are selling quick, Alexandria sold out this morning

The latest hop thief isn't worth $40 a carton.
Agreed, 6 was ok but 7 doesnt do anything for me.
 
It's like someone stole all the hops :ph34r:
 
Oettingers for $31 are hard to beat.
It's the clearest indicator of something seriously wrong with the quality and price of the offerings of our mega breweries that they don't/won't produce anything of similar quality for a similar price. The next best option IMHO would be boags premium ($44 currently at Dans!, tho normally $50-52).

Yeah, the brewed in Japan stuff is good at the end hot day. Bugger all flavour but chilled and at 5% ABV it does the job
 
From Aldi - Sainte Etienne Imported Premium Lager 24 x 330ml $29.99. Brewed in France by one of France's leading breweries. Sainte Etienne is a fully imported, full flavoured premium lager.

I bought a case thinking I could still use the bottles if it was cr@p.

Very pleasantly surprised. Definitely drinkable.

Not the six I had the other night. Very nice, especially when allowed to warm up a bit to around 10 degrees.
