Coopers DIY Beer Team Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The current excise rate charged on full strength packaged beer is $60.12 (+ GST), so a carton of Sparkling Ale has $34.52 excise (inc GST) in the retail price. That's around 55% of the lowest retail price I could find online. This graphic is probably for "full strength" beer of 4.2 - 4.5%. Cheers, Frank. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was posted on Instagram from Brisbane, I believe it was just mainstream beer. I am not sure how old it is either. Cheers Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 (edited) Here's something positive for a change, sounds like a good idea but that doesn't mean I endorse rubbish chucked into the ocean. Saltwater Brewery in Delray has developed edible six-pack rings that are made from by-products of beer, like barley and wheat, making them safe for marine life to consume. These rings are 100% biodegradable and compostable. This initiative aims to combat the harmful effects of traditional plastic six-pack rings on ocean life. The company hopes that other businesses will follow suit, driving down costs and increasing environmental sustainability.

Ballistic used to have a scheme where if you brought back 5 of those 4-pack thingos, you got a free beer. It saved them money in the long run and kept the rubbish at bay a little. Not sure if they still do that since the financial troubles they had. And kudos to Saltwater Brewery for still selling six packs, not 4-packs priced like 6-packs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree & also bottles marked as 330ml/355ml etc. They should all be a standard size; I know they never will be, but they are a PITA. I was at a popular craft brewery in the city recently & they wanted $30-$35 for a 4-x pack. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have been that size since I can remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even own a pair of shorts or thongs, never liked them. I have always been used to getting dressed up especially when I was working full time, however I go casual around the house & in the backyard. It doesn't get as hot down by the sea as other suburbs & the heat has never bothered me anyway. I am definitely over the winter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So @Classic Brewing Co you have talked previously about going out with your mate on his boat, so do you do that with your longun's on? Boating for me is always a thing to be done in shorts.

I feel most comfortable in shorts and t-shirt and yes, a pair of thongs. I don't like wearing jackets and when I wear a shirt or a jumper, I roll/push the sleeves up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough, I have a couple of friends & neighbour's like that, shorts all year-round. One bloke is a tradie & it doesn't matter if it is 5c, raining, windy etc. he will have shorts on. I saw young ones down the street walking around with a t-shirt in the cold & I am rugged up with 3-4 layers as I don't like the cold. But bring on the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same same @Aussiekraut + 1 from me (although it does get down to low single digits durin' the height (or should I say low ) of winter here in Busso, so you'll see me slothin' round the house in a pair of trackies, flanno and a windcheater them dayz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
