I only wish we could get beer at the supermarket here. Sniff Sniff!!

Four Pines are pushing themselves into the market in a huge way. Ive seen the Kolsch and the pale at several pubs and indie botle shops in the last month, now Woolworths. Good on them !

Cant say I love the bottled Kolsch, its better on tap at their Manly premises.

A couple of the craft brew bars up here won't stock beer if the brewer go to Coles or Woolies. A great stand I reckon. Sort of like old radio stations playing local music..............mind you economic reality got the better of them in the end. Same will probably happen to the bars.

my local wollies has started selling Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Got the shock of my life. Maybe they are starting to sell more craft beer across the board

I think they are starting to wake up that people are developing more sophisticated palettes as far as beer is concerned. Their marketing people and number crunchers would have done the figures and said yes. Just a business decision nothing to do with looking after customers. Sierra Nevada was one of the beers quoted to me from a particular bar last sat arvo as being ditched because of its move to the big boys.

God. If that was the attitude of my local "craft brew bars" i wouldn't go there anymore. That's the kind of small minded attitude that keeps industries from moving forward. The smaller, craft breweries that use big chains as a distribution method are onto something solid. High volume, supported venue sales. You can't butter your bread, without the butter.

That being said, you make more cash in kegs than bottles in a retail enviroment anyway. Further more than that i want to be able to buy full size kegs at my local, not just bottles!

I've had the white rabbit white ale on tap at Sail and anchor for lunch, went down nicely but I can't say I remember much. From memory they have built a positive pressure fermentation room to house yorkshire square fermenters in...or so I'm told.
