Sydney Case Split

[RetsamHsam]

I sent the below email to Camperdown late yesterday afternoon, so will hopefully receive a reply soon.

I personally am not in a massive rush and would prefer to wait for beers that we wouldn't normally be able to source at a local bottle shop, is everyone else of the same opinion?

[gibbocore]

Thats a pretty good list, thanks for organising mate.

 

[sirotilc]

Agree that that's a nice selection - I am happy to wait a little while as well.

 

[white.grant]

Westvleteren?

I thought you could only get this from the abbey?

cheers

grant

 

[Josh]

Anchor Beers

 

[JonnyAnchovy]

Wallet is still recovering from stimulus April - put me on the waitlist while i clear it with the minister of finance!

Cheers,

Jon.

edit: would be keen on UK ales and US micros - echoing most other people. would love to try a few from dogfish head, not just their IPA (which by all accounts could leave you in a emergency department)

this is the reason why I suggested this case split in the first place.

You're probably right. I just came up with a wishlist and thought I would send it all accross to them to see which ones they can get.. I'm hoping we can get at least half of the beers on the list.

Anchor Beers

I will ask the question.

this is the reason why I suggested this case split in the first place.

I thought so, just making sure everyone else was on the same page..

Hi Rets,

From the original list a few that I thought looked interesting

Marston Oyster Stout 500ml 12 Great Britain
Marstons Pedigree 500ml 12 Great Britain
Worthington White Shield 500ml 12 Great Britain
Theakston Old Pedulier Ale 500ml 12 Great Britain

If you are looking at Fullers Golden Pride you should also look at Fullers 1845 - nicer imho.

Also from US:

Victory
Ommegang

 

[RetsamHsam]

Ok.. I have forwarded all of these across.. Now we play the waiting game.

 

[captaincleanoff]

so you're running this now retsamham?

thanks!

 

[RetsamHsam]

so you're running this now retsamham?

thanks!

I'll take on Camperdown Cellars, and I think someone else was going to tackle Cloudwine.
And if someone wants to contact Platinum Cellars and see what they can offer we should have all the bases loaded.

 

[KingPython]

Yep I'm waiting on Cloudwine\Slowbeer, I'll let you guys know what's happening in that respect.

 

[Gulpa]

Ok.. I have forwarded all of these across.. Now we play the waiting game.

Sorry Rets,

I just remembered a good source of ideas, the CAMRA bottle conditioned awards:

CAMRA bottle awards

We could add from the last few years:

Wye Valley Dorothy Goodbody's Wholesome Stout
OHanlon Port Stout
Titanic Stout
Durham Evensong

 

[Fatgodzilla]

Okay, count me in. Not fussed at all on the selection so someone select for me ( just no fruit lambics)

 

[pixelboy]

Yeah Im happy to wait...

If they can get Sierra Nevada Big Foot I'd be very keen to add that to the list!

Oh and the uk ones look good, even just for the names

 

[slacka]

and Leffe, don't forget Leffe Blonde.

 

[RetsamHsam]

and Leffe, don't forget Leffe Blonde.

Leffe was on the original list

 

[RetsamHsam]

Got this reply yesterday..

Afternoon Damien,

Of the beers you've sent me, these are the beers/brewerys available (depending on stock levels). All others currently do not either have distribution in Australia or NSW (eg Vinimpex has dropped sierra nevada and Rogue beers are only available in VIC/S.A). internationalbeershop.com.au sells quite a range if you are prepared to wait for delivery times.
As you can see, most USA craft beers are not in NSW yet, whilst most UK and Belgium beers are available.

US::
Samuel Adams

UK::
Samuel Smiths
Timothy Taylors
Wychwood
Fullers
Marston
Worthington
Theakston
Fullers

Aus/NZ::
Moa (we carry the full range)
Jamieson Brewery (a possibility, depending on order as we have not sourced from this brewery before)

Belgium::
Rochefort (when it is in country. Good luck . Currently completely out of stock, all suppliers are waiting for new shipments)
Cantillon
Saison Du Pont (of which we carry a fair range already)
Tripel Karmeliet

 

[KingPython]

Honestly it sounds like either Platinum or Slowbeer is our best bet (it will be sometime I think to finally get stocks in- I think). Should I chase up Platinum as well now?
