thebeerpig Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I have spotted these new Brigalow additions to the home brew shelf this morning at my local Woolies in central Victoria. Am wondering if they have been spotted moving into any of the other Woolies stores around Australia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn't be getting any of those. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 @thebeerpig Yes. I saw these at Woolies Aberfoyle Park (southern Adelaide) this afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupidity why use Dextrose to make a Pale Ale, for some it may be acceptable but certainly not for me. Not to mention the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeerpig Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 It's good to see a bit of variety on the Woolies homebrew shelf but I agree with the comments about the price. I'm thinking there will need to be a major price adjustment on the Brigalow Pale Ale boxes before they start flying off the shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it is worth Brigalow Beer is nothing special, I have tried a few of them over the years & found them to be sub-standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigalow looks like they are trying to do small batch "craft" beer I guess much like Mr Beers 8.5L kits for around $15 - $17 depending where you purchase. They could of been smarter with the other items in the kit like dextrose and finings but maybe they have a 15L craft FV on its way or something which would be useful. Compared to some of the basic craft recipe of the month kits being $40 etc the price doesn't seem crazy especially since we cant see the hop quantities and other ingredients. Can see what they are trying just looks like they might of just missed the mark on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local Woolies had these on clearance for $12, I purchased one because they seemed good value at this price but there is no way I would pay full price for one of these! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Grigrantor, welcome to the forum, at $12.00 it's OK, it makes a reasonable beer, far better than some of the cheaper brands but of Coopers is far superior.
