Just noticed this on the Dan Murphy's site.

Vale Ale and Vale IPA are $19.99 for a 12 pack, yet $65 for a 24 pack.

Does not offer click and collect, however there are some I've seen in Harbour Town on the Gold Coast.

Some places aren't offering click and collect but postage is free with the following code: DMWEL1113.

That's almost 40% cheaper for buying 2x 12 packs.

    nice find timmev. you may want to add delivered only as it doesn't offer click and collect. cost for regional VIC adds $12 for example.

    • timmev on 15/11/2013 - 16:42

      Good point!

      Will add now.

      • cornbeef on 15/11/2013 - 17:05

        looks like click and collect works for some timmev so you can change the title again 87)

        I'd go the Vale IPA over Coopers almost any day, especially at this price. The other Vale beers are pretty ordinary though.

        Pissed off this isn't available anywhere in Adelaide.

    Great price but no stock at my locals. They have IPA in Kingsford and Strathfield (Syd) and Ale at Hurstville as my closest….for one case of IPA at Kingsford it's hardly worth it.

    P.s. Vale Ale was rated #1 Craft Beer in Australia in 2010 (http://craftypint.com/features/post/hottest-100-aussie-craft…)

    Super happy!

    • Fappo on 15/11/2013 - 18:21

      The Vale Ale is pretty 'meh' imo (but still good at this price). The IPA is nice though.

    • yojabbajabba on 15/11/2013 - 20:29

      So, I just picked up 1x boxed case of each Pale Ale/IPA from Epping, VIC:

      "BEST AFTER 30/10/12" - Yep, they're a >1 year old! Happy with that though, as they're only $1.6 a neck, and will make excellent bottles for future home-brews.

      • Fappo on 15/11/2013 - 23:28

        Well I don't feel so bad about them not being available in Adelaide now.

        This turns the Vale IPA deal from great to okay.

  • Oi on 15/11/2013 - 18:27

    Probablly very old stock, last few times I've had the IPA which is good for the price fresh it's been over a year old and lost all hop aroma and taste.

    • Foma2 on 15/11/2013 - 18:50

    Nup, can't get the free delivery code to work, even with wine added.

    Tried logging out, adding wine first then beer, entering code at various stages, nothing doing. It accepts the code but doesn't apply the discount. Maybe it's cause I'm in a regional area or sumthin.

    • Boodek on 15/11/2013 - 18:49

      Same with me. They want $36 delivery for 2 12 packs and 1 cleanskin. I live in a regional area too.

      • jlao6 on 15/11/2013 - 19:26

        My delivery charge only got deducted once i got to adding my billing address stage but before that it was showing $21 standard delivery

      The site removes the delivery cost on the last page.

      • Boodek on 15/11/2013 - 19:36

        I've arrived at the page where it redirects me to Paypal to "submit my order" and they still want $36 delivery. I'm not game to click any further.

  • Foma2 on 15/11/2013 - 18:48

    Got 1 each to be delivered with a bottle of wine.

    I am just wondering if it is only me or anyone else ?
    When I try to use my Wish Gift card it checkes the balance properly but I cannot proceed further as it says in red "enter your card details". But I have already entered gift card details, and there is no field to do it again.

    This beer, and other VALE beers are pretty darn average. They had a tilt at a premium but the blend is just not there and it tastes everage. The IPA is better than the pale.

    • p1owz0r on 16/11/2013 - 13:43

      I am not a huge fan - look, it's perfectly serviceable but there is better out there - but I have had a couple of their small batch beers on tap and they were delicious.

  • deathjr on 15/11/2013 - 20:28

    Picked up mine, expired almost a year ago! 11/12

    I know technically beer doesn't go bad and can still be drunk after expiry, but all the bottles have yellowish sediment collection at the bottom and the ipa bottles have small sediments floating around.

    I don't think I want to drink this, taking them back.

    • YOTR on 15/11/2013 - 20:34

      Best 'after' date?

      • yojabbajabba on 15/11/2013 - 20:38

        From the Coopers Website:

        "Under Australia’s food laws, any product that lasts more than two years in the bottle does not require a best before date. The best after date was introduced to ensure that the minimum two weeks required for secondary fermentation has expired before the bottles are distributed for sale."

        http://www.coopers.com.au/about-us/faqs#Why_do_Coopers_ales_have_'best_after'dates_instead_of'best_before'_dates?

    • yojabbajabba on 15/11/2013 - 20:39
      +1

      Sediments are quite normal for quality craft beers. Tip: tip it on its side, roll it gently for a couple of minutes, tip to the correct orientataion, then crack it open :)

      • herbo on 15/11/2013 - 21:54
        +1

        No, leave it upright, open bottle, start pouring into glass, stop pouring once you see yeasty stuff about to come out. Leave 15-20mls of yeasty stuff in bottle.

        • Fappo on 15/11/2013 - 23:39

          I generally prefer drinking without the yeast too, but there's no real 'right or wrong' answer, it's mostly personal preference.

          Look at wheat beers; drinking them with the sediment is a major factor of the style.

    • Fappo on 15/11/2013 - 23:45

      It'll still be perfectly safe to drink, but the main thing is that the hops will have died down in flavour, aroma and bitterness, so if you like your hops then it's not going to be nearly as nice as when it was fresh.

  • deathjr on 15/11/2013 - 20:39

    Wow it's so hard to read the writing on the glass, I just looked at the numbers.

    Yes, BEST AFTER. So, it's all good?

    Placed order online, only to get a call 20 minutes later to say they didn't have the stock (at Strathpine). The girl mentioned its a deleted line - so don't expect we'll see this deal again.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2013 - 21:12

    That's a good price. I normally buy mine at $25 for 12, but that price is quite common. Not to crap on this deal (it is a good one) but IPA fanatics may want to try the Galaxy IPA by Beechworth Brewery.

    • YOTR on 15/11/2013 - 21:21

      $25 for 8?

      Do let us know when you get the Beechworth for $20 for 12!

  • sd4f on 16/11/2013 - 22:59

    Just be careful with this Vale Ale. It's very strongly flavoured beer which tastes like as if it's blended with wine and other fermenting fruit juices. It's more reminiscent of ciders than beer.

    • buckerooni on 17/11/2013 - 08:56

      Most likely just the hops and yeast varieties adding a fuller bodied and perhaps fruiter flavour.

      This series of beer were designed as 'gateway' craft beers - so yes, stronger in flavour than your average MegaSwill, but still very much beer :)

      I'm a big fan of the IPA, big on flavour and alcohol content! Another bang-for-buck fuller flavour (esp. the hops) ale is the Atomic Pale Ale.

      • lickjimmy1 on 18/11/2013 - 23:01

        second the above.. Atomic and Vale Ale IPA great beers

    • kickling on 17/11/2013 - 11:37

      Yup, especially the IPA will taste very flavoursome but guaranteed there is no wine or whatever in the mix. What you're tasting is just a hoppy beer.

  • cactus68 on 19/11/2013 - 16:47

    Had the call yesterday morning saying that my Ale had to refunded due to no stock.
    Was told my IPA and a cheap bottle of plonk was still good and got emails for both saying they are on the way!

    Then get the next call this morning saying sorry but the IPA is now also cancelled due to no stock!

    What a bloody debacle DM

    I cancelled the cheap wine and they offered me a $10 gift card for the hassle.

  • sp3tsnaz on 20/11/2013 - 19:24

    Interesting… got a call from DM advising me that they had no Vale Ale, cancelled that part of my order, refunded me shipping and cost of the case, but said they will still ship the IPA (mind you the refund hasn't come through yet, but I did get an email from Dan's saying that they have processed the refund today).

    Just got home… and there is a case of IPA and Vale Ale sitting there! So looks like they might have only charged me $19 + $7 shipping for both :)

    I paid $19.99 and got my 12 Pack Vale IPA a few days ago.
    I tried it yesterday. Definitely not what I expected.
    Most likely it is just because it is IPA and I am not a big fan of IPAs anyway.
    If anyone wants to get 12-1 = 11 stubbies from me for fifteen bucks please let me know.
    I leave in Eastern suburbs of Adelaide.

  • cactus68 on 04/12/2013 - 01:55

    Damn you Dan Murphy's.

    So my entire order got cancelled and they said due to no more stock etc etc

    Well I was just going through the DM site and fark me if I don't come across
    the Vale IPA for sale and available for click and collect at my local in 2 hours time.

    Think a lot of us have been screwed with this BS.
