Same Price here in Queensland from Dan's website.

Wonder if it is as good as the Ballast Point Porter which is $11.95 a 640ml bottle.

They must be doing a push, like Macs have been doing lately, into the Oz market.

I got a six from a mere BWS at Maroochydore when I was on holiday there a few weeks ago.
IMHO Browndog's APA shytes all over SNPA so listen to the man when he speaks.

:)

10 for 10% Not much of a deal considering the way they skin you if you buy singles or sixes compared to the case price.

$100.00 for 12x Ballast Point Porter has just got to be taking the piss. At that price they can keep it till it goes out of date.

I picked up a couple of these myself at Wollies Liquor today. $12 each or if you buy 3 or more, they cost $10 each. 710ml bottles.

I also got some Sierra Nevada Porter and Stout from Dan's yesterday.

Even turned up at a BWS here in Tas (Riverside for those interested). I'd like to say that they were in worse nick than the bottlo who gets in the good craft beer, but not so. In the fridge too.

Definitely don't think the harvest is worth 12 considering I bought a six pack of ballast ipa for 18

I'll be keeping an eye out for the Porter, is it on a par with the BigEye?

It would need to be damn good to justify the price. The IPA is outstanding IMO but as a cheapskate I buy the Zwiec Porter which is quite drinkable. I need to get down to Dan's and have a scout round again. So much to sample and not enough cash <_<

What does it mean by 1st Release? Are there multiple releases of the 2012 southern around? Does it have the USA health details on the bottle or the local variation (sans the standard drinks / importer sticker)?
