Classic Brewing Co Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 What a pretty sight, on special too @ BWS for a bullseye, not bad but Dan's are $52.95 even with a members card.

You know you are paying both Alc Excise and GST on those suckers don't you @Classic Brewing Co Phil Besides Dan's mark-up over Coopers Production costs and their profit ; ) Much cheaper to purchase a few tins of Coopers Liquid Malt to make a lovely KnK haha! (But I do know @Classic Brewing Co you are well on the way to building up your stocks mate... and hey sometimes there is an unfortunate gap in production ) I guess we shall never know but it would be kinda interesting to know how much reasonable Commercial Beer costs to make per Litre hey... suspect it would be way way far cheaper with the volume of throughput compared to us poor buggggggers with a few kilos of malted grain here or there. However, we do have the right to self determination and within reason can make just about anything we like Edited February 27, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are forgiven, I agree Coopers Pale Ale is an excellent beer, I have made many of them but really have only got close to their recipe despite following it exactly - as a k&k version will let you. I realise an AG version would be closer to the original. I have one ready to try in a day or two done with Kveik & 25gm Galaxy dry hopped so I am expecting a new taste sensation.

The following doesn't exactly answer your question, IP, but it does give an indication of what the costs are without taxes. By far the biggest cost in the price of an Australian beer is Australian Government tax. Tax accounts for almost half (42%) of the price of a typical carton of full-strength beer. Of the $52.00 retail price, a whopping $22.05 is tax. Source: https://www.brewers.org.au/beer-the-facts/beer-and-taxes/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tree Huggers haven't tried to ban the Beer Ads yet ! The same for Pokies, the faceless souls sit there gambling all of their money away & the Government think a few stickers & pathetic ads to suggest it's not a good idea but they can gamble all day everyday if they want to. Not to mention hiding the tobacco & banning advertising for it, I haven't noticed anyone taking any notice of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Gambling (pokies) is probably in that too hard basket as well. Interesting how Government seem to support giving away the smokes....but they appear to let the other two vices go through to the keeper. I wonder why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokes are taxed very heavily also but Australians are gradually moving away from smokes by their own volition anyway. The hotel lobby is very powerful and the hospitality industry is a massive employer. It would be a very brave government that would try to ban booze and punting.

No Government would dare restrict the sale of Booze or try and stop the Pokies. Too much money involved.

Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Mooroobra Lager ABV 4.3% didn’t turn out too bad. Brigalow Munich Lager, steeped and dry hopped with some East Kent Golding hop, adding the right amount of bitterness. Well done Mr. Fritz! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 A quick trip to the Bottl'o (BWS) & Goat was on offer $5.00 off a six pack so why not at least they are 375ml cans & there are 6 of them, some of those craft 4 packs are only 330ml & they are getting way to expensive but I must admit there are some good beers out there.
