Found this deal in Temple Court apartments CELLARBRATIONS store, 447 Little Collins st, Melbourne CBD. The price was reduced as the beer was best before 21/08/10. I am not sure if it makes any difference. They still have few cases left in the store.
Imported Stella Artois $29.99 per case in Melbourne CBD. Best before 21/08/10.

NQR do it all the time. I believe you just have to declare it, can't obscure it, etc, etc.
There is no law against selling products after their best before date as you can still consume the food without getting sick.
Selling after the use by date is illegal
Beer is alright to consume for about 3 months after useby. Tastes much the same..
I would have thought it would be quite a bit cheaper than this though…
Agree would have expected it to be $20 per case when it is approaching 2 months out of date.
hahahah. classic.
I wonder if you get a blue singlet with it also
even less 15bux il buy it its not like its past the date by a week or so
thats just me
Hardly a bargain; discount should be much, much greater than this. Considering it's imported and 1.5 months past the best before there's a good chance it's already stale in the bottle.
I was just at Dan Murphy's in Prahran and they have cases of imported Stella on sale right now for $38.70, all well inside the best before period. :)
The yeast will make them taste a bit more woodie and yes should be discounted more than this imo…
I'm no beer expert, but aren't these lagers pasteurised hence killing off the yeast?
I’m no beer expert
None of that false modesty; ya old soak! ;)
I thought drinking copious amounts of beer makes me less of an expert!
@hippocrit: Nah dude, the more beer you drink, the smarter, sexier and funnier you get! It's the one universal constant we can all rely on! ;)
If they did not kill the yeast then it would still produce carbon dioxide which will cause the bottles to explode.
+1 for your chosen name. 1000 in 2010 with an average of 90. I bow to thy name.
well noticed. thanks.
thank you! last time I got the Stella out of date in Melbourne it was 3mth out of date & $35/slab, but still tasted like Stella. As a home brewer, I know my beer tastes best 3-6mth after bottling, 7mths is still good, and that's without the usual preservatives which commercial brewers add. It's beer, if it's cold, then it'll be good.
$35 for a slab 3 months out of date Stella is waayyyyy too much! I've frequently (for the past few years) seen imported Stella for sale at Dan Murphy's in Prahran and at QV in the city for about $38 a slab; it's on sale for that much right now, in fact.
Beer is still beer I guess; even when it's bad it's still good. :P
i used to be in the liquor selling industry. this beer they are selling is illegally imported from france. CUB (carlton united brewerys) have the recepie to make stella artois in Australia and own all exclusive rights to it in Australia. This is importated by a private seller and went around to all small private bottle shops and sold them this stella for a third of the price. ofcource the shop owners who sold this couldnt advertise it because they would get in trouble. I personally have heaps of Stella, Hiniken and Carona made overseas, they were all 28-30 dollars a box. The only catch for me/the consumer is the slabs dont come in 6packs, they are indivual bottles.
Enjoy :)
Seriously? The Dan Murphy's in Prahran has sold imported Stella for years, and Dan Murphy's is hardly a "small private bottle shop". I'm pretty sure I've even seen them advertise that they're selling "imported" Stella as well.
- It's not illegal to sell imported beer, if it was it would be stopped by customs before it even entered the country…
- CUB has the licence to brew and sell locally made Stella.
then why is it so cheap and expiring? why dont they advertise 30 dollars a slab publically? i used to be in the industry mate, trust me
Making up stories right there. I personally bought some of this same shipment before it went out to the stores. And it wasn't from a private seller, try ALM, a part of the metcash group.
haha $30 for a case of expired beer? no thanks.
just jagged some from my local IGA (Brunswick, VIC) at $32 a slab for the fully imported stuff and the used by date is 30/12/10!
Didn't think you could sell things past there best before date? Or is that just the use before date?
