Did they at least give you an option of what home brands you got to choose, or was it only Smithy's for beer?

Only Smithy's, there were a few different RTDs on the list but there was only Smithy's beer range from memory. Would have been happy just to get two wines instead of one wine and one beer or RTD.

Cape Cyan Natural Blonde, trying to work out why i had a bottle of this in the fridge, i know a rep left it at work for us to taste but checked it on line and it is an Aldi product. Long story short, i needed some beer for the onions on the BBQ so i opened this, just drinking whats left, have to say it is very easy drinking, a bit light on but for a Blonde beer it is more than passable with no bad after taste. Would a buy a case or 6 pack of it, no but it was offered to me again somewhere i would happily drink it.

Case of Kronenbourg 1664. 500ml can. Not bad at all.

The lager is sold across most of the country at Coles online and Liquorland

I doubt you will see too many returns. And "popular"?

Reschs Real. It's a much lighter flavoured Reschs Draught. Crushable.

Though because of the NSW branding on the bottle, it specifies on the back it's brewed in Yatala...

No CUB brewery in Sydney anymore..

They did, however, shift the fermenting tanks from the old site near Central station up to Yatala..

So its kinda the same?

maybe?

Yeah the brewery is long gone, the only thing that exists of the old Tooth's Brewery is a smoke stack and an original gate. For a while CUB had the old Bluetongue Brewery on the Central Coast, but that is done with too. So it's either Yatala or Abbotsford for CUB product.

Guinness / Killkeny draught.

It's St Patrick's day soon so I'll be pretending I'm Irish. I wanted to buy a case of some good stuff but I've heard that the draught is brewed here in Australia now? Not getting good reviews.

Anyone recommend an international importer here in Sydney? Just for the draught not after the extra stout.

 

[Leigh Howlett]

Guinness is brewed all around the world so I wouldn't worry too much that it's not actually brewed in Ireland, there are alternatives that are actually brewed in the Emerald Isle like Murphy's, do some research, Cheers!

 

[Bazal]

Yeah that ^^^

Probably be hard to reliably find decent imported Guinness, Lion won't allow it if they can prevent it.

Tbh I haven't had either for far too long but I always used to slightly prefer Murphy's anyway.

I dont mind murphys. Even cafferys.

Amatos has the imported shit. I'm going full Irish.
