Bought a 6 pack at Dan Murphy's last night when I picked up another slab of VB. The stuff was on special and is called Platinum Blonde, brewed by Six Star Breweries. Not half bad, tastes very Euro.

As far as I know, the Platinum Blonde is only the beginning of an wider roll out of Woolworth's own brand beer before the Coles group does the same with their own House Brewery.

You and me both. I'll just wait till the Aldi beer. Or the Franklins one. Made with the Yeast that Kraft rejected. I'll just stick with the independents. I've got a Little Creatures Pilsner in front of me. Magnificent drop. Not quite a Squires, but not bad.

Platinum Blonde, sounds like Tasman Ice, Tasman Bitter and Hammer & Tongs all over again. Something special from the Woolworths master brewers
![]() Still all they need to do it add a catchy tune, a gold label + $50 for a slab, make a funny add, call it premium and it has to be a winner, just like VB, Crown Larger, Hahn Super, Tooheys, XXXX gold, etc. Don't we all drink beer due to all the above and not for the taste? JS, Little Creatures, Coopers, Mountain Goat for me. Now they are some great Australian brewers. Cheers Mark

Our local Aldi doesnt.
Hmmm, a mate of mine works there tho, maybe he might know of where to get some cheap and nasty booze. Mind you, I'm also a serial Aldi shopper, and I'm 95% of the time incredibly impressed with the quality. I wonder if that follows through to their alcoholic beveridge line...

For the wine drinkers who aren't big beer drinkers, you could try Knappsteins Reserve Lager. It's made using Nelson Sauvin hops (from Nelson NZ I believe, bro... choice!) which gives it grape like flavours, in particular Sauvignon Blanc.
Finally tried the XXXX Carbine Stout recently at the XXXX Alehouse at the brewery. Was expecting it to be a bit average run of the mill, as I've never been a big stout drinker but it was very very drinkable. Pity they're going to stop making it shortly :(

Just bought a mixed slab of squire (plus an extra 6 pack). Big fan of their Golden and amber ales and have not tried any others. What am I to expect from their I.P.A, Pilsener and sundown lager? Its 11.30am and I dont feel like beer yet.

I have recently bought a carton of Oettinger Beer. Although its cheap german imported beer, I like the taste. Im willing to try the premium beers too.

I'm a usual tooey's new drinker. but other favourites would be Corona, Stella Atois, Carlton Coldies, but a big favourite of mine is alcoholic ginger beer
![]() its cheap too, pretty much ends up being $1-1.50 per bottle, but you have to supply the bottles. they mix it, brew it and then you just gotta keep it in the fridge(MUST keep it cool)because theres no preservatives in there if it reaches above 23-25degC the bottles will explode from the yeast.

One of my german friends told me they sell that beer in Germany from as little as 30c a bottle. Its considered inferior beer and no one there drinks it. Thats why it gets imported. If this beer is garbage to them, Id LOVE to know what their premium beer is like. ![]()

I'll drink anything as long it's free and doesn't have Coopers or Pale Ale on the label.
It has to be made in Australia too, otherwise i might as well just drink from my Puratap.
