Just went to Liquorland and found that Little Creatures Pale Ale and Bright Ale were on special for $54.
I am in ACT, so your results may vary.
Enjoy. :)
EDIT: As per comments, looks like Dan Murphy's have price matched. https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_901651/little-creat…
$54 in Melbourne was $61 I believe last week at Dan Murphys.
Must be too mainstream now, hipsters no longer paying for exclusivity? :)
lol. I really, really like Little Creatures but I never buy it because of the price. This was a happy accident. :)
That would be Melbourne Bitter in a tinnie
Little creatures sold out. It's owned by Lion Nathan now and isn't Australian any longer. Just another macro brew people shouldnt really care about like James Squire etc.
Brewed in the same place it always has been. Who cares who owns it…?
It's now brewed in Geelong for the East Coast market.
Same recipe to my knowledge, James Squire changed theirs for the worst. Their Pale Ale is still nice and hoppy to start to explore beer flavour and still a great drop for a now owned macro.
Recipe's not the same. They now use Galaxy as one of the hops (which wasn't even a variety back when it LCPA was first created)
Still a decent drop, but you can notice the different flavour profile, less like SNPA than it was in the past.
As for where it's brewed, yes there's a new East Coast brewery, but it is a dedicated one for LC (with white rabbit onsite) as opposed to James Squire which comes out of the main Tooheys brewhouses.
oh, DM in Brisbane now have it at $53.95…..hmmm, might buy it now…(never did before since I too found it expensive…)
Don't forget cash rewards if you do
Same price at DM in Perth.
Man I am happy to live in Germany.. This is 8L of beer for 37 euros equivalent, and the cases of (premium) beer here are regularly 12-15 euros for 20x 0.5L bottles (so 10L) - about a quarter of the price!
Nonetheless, bargains are all relative ;)
*Note, I am no longer associated with Liquorland, I just haven't bothered contacting Admins to remove the association..
I should neg you out of jealousy.
What are your favourite beers over there?
Haha, well funnily enough I probably drink less beer here than in Australia anyway! I guess it's an atmosphere thing, people drink their beers slower and stay out much longer.
Favourite beers so far depends on the occasion I guess:
- Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier or the Dunkelweiss are my favourites if I'm just having one or two glasses, any more and your stomach will fill up faster than you could ever get drunk!
- If I'm at the park during the day I would drink a lighter beer like Veltins Pilsner (super cheap option too) or if a Radler if the mood strikes (pre-mixed with a kind of lemonade and 2-3% alcohol)
- Drinking on the streets at night or before a party, I would normally buy Rothaus pils or Augustiner Helles (Southern German beers)
- Buying beer to share with friends - Berliner Pilsner (8 euros for 20x0.5L bottles, can't beat it).
But nothing in Germany has compared to the beer in Czech Republic.
I recently went to southern Bohemia (Ceske Budejovice) where the original Budweis lager was invented, and was offered the choice of just a light (colour not ABV) or dark Budweis beer at a bar. Unable to decide, the bartender offered a half and half (I thought she was making a joke), but it turns out to be quite common and also one of the best beers I have ever had. All of the flavour a dark beer has to offer without any bitter aftertaste, amazing.
Sweet. Good to know.
Would love to make a pilgrimage to the Chimay Monastery one day. If I got that right. I should research it.
Reminds me of Tooheys "middle aged" in uni, back in the days when both Old and New were on-tap.
Love the Czech beer.
Budvar,
Plizn,
Kozel.
In any order.
So jealous!!!!
I loved the beers through Germany and Czech….

I have it for 53.95 at my local Dan Murphys (Manly Vale, NSW).
Looks like DM beat it by 5 cents again. Time to go get myself a case
liquorland brisbane also have 2 six packs for $27.50 ($23.50+ $4) for those who want to try this beer before buying a whole box.
Nice find OP :)
Coles online is completely useless..
Always "temporarily unavailable" for ordering a slab, but can order 4*6 packs fine.. ( I have credit to be used at coles online, so just walking into a store doesn't do the job)
$63 in Brisbane
