    ALDI are selling important Stella for $30. For the sake of a dollar, a bit of movement, and some fuel - it's a far superior beer.

          Wife Beater

          And it really annoyed the brewers. They were busy trying to create an air of a 'premium brand' - "reassuringly expensive" - and everyone was calling it wifebeater.

    A highly-regarded, full strength beer that I look forward to trying, delivered for less than $30? You kidding me? This is a great freaking deal. Big up yourself. Champion effort.

    • altomic on 19/09/2012 - 10:11

      up here in QLD (my brother from Vic had never heard of it) they have a "clearskin beer".

      it's brewed by Hite brewery in Korea. it's full strength and $30 a carton. it's a very nice beer IMHO.

      They also sell a mid strength which is quite reasonable in taste and can be had at 2 cartons for $52 (cheapest i'e seen).

      • rumham on 19/09/2012 - 11:01
        +1

        you can find the Korean "cleanskins" at coles liquorland from time to time with the $30 price tag in Melb. My local in brunswick regularly stocks it. we've found the taste is variable, some are more 'creamy' than others, but I agree it's a solid beer and better than many $40 slabs

  • Dularn on 19/09/2012 - 02:11

    $9 delivery to Perth too.

  • IamEzza on 19/09/2012 - 02:23

    Best deal I have seen on here in ages!

    $29 delivered for full strength beer is a great bargain.

    I wish there were more sales on beer - there is bugger all competition in my area with all the independent bottleshops being continuously bought up by the big chains.

  • ethereal88 on 19/09/2012 - 06:25

    Full strength my ass (4.8% is water). More plastic lager. If you want a real beer go try Coopers Best Extra Stout. You do know that this beer is around a buck a bottle in every other country except here:

    I wouldn't touch it.
    The "awards" are like on cheap wine bottles where they run their own awards with their own products as the only entrants, so they can say "Gold medal winner"!
    Cobra is run by Coors UK. It's a generic, watery lager, not unlike Melbourne Bitter.
    http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/cobra/4936/
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_Beer
    You get what you pay for. Being cheap doesn't make up for poor taste. Mind you, if your idea of good wine is a $6 bottle of Queen Adelaide, and you say things like "it's good because it's cheap," then this is the beer for you.
    If you want a flavoursome good mass-market beer, try James Squire Golden Ale or Coopers Pale Ale instead.

      A cold Melbourne Bitter on a hot summer day can be absolutely perfect at times.

      Well, except for pretentious w@nkers I guess. Although the hipster crowd are all over it these days as well.

      I'm torn. Might go have a Melbourne to calm me down.

      • Zidago on 19/09/2012 - 10:27

        I think the idea of a "hipster" is lost on you. They would be the ones that would drink Melbourne Bitter as an ironic statement.

        And not liking something because you find it inferior does not make you pretentious. Harping on about how much better of a person you are because of your selective tastes does.

      "it's good because it's cheap,"

      Is as nonsensical as "It's good because it's expensive"

      Stick with "It's good because I like it" and you won't go far wrong…… :-)

    • sane on 19/09/2012 - 11:46

      Cobra is a known and recognised brand.

      It's much beloved of Indian Restaurants, both because it's a lager and therefore doesn't have a strong flavour (in common with most Oz beers), and because this one is specifically brewed to not be too gassy - so you can drink with a meal without getting bloated. That means the restaurant can sell you more food.

      Superior to 80-90% of Oz beers I'd say. $29 is a good price.

        Not in Australia… I'd never heard of them until this post.

        Superior to 80-90% of Oz beers

        You're obviously drinking the wrong beers…

        specifically brewed to not be too gassy

        How do they carbonate during brewing? I always thought they carbonate after brewing…

        • sane on 19/09/2012 - 14:47

          World is bigger than Australia - and they are definitely known in, say, the UK.

          http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/drinks/cobra/reviews/

          As for taste, well that's a personal matter. But since I've drunk Cobra AND Oz beers, I'd say I'm probably better placed to offer an opinion?

  • QF1 on 19/09/2012 - 08:58

    Its A$25.00 now. Still not a bad price for a carton of Indian beer..i think???

    • Twisty on 19/09/2012 - 08:59

      yer $25 now

    • pikapika on 19/09/2012 - 09:15

      $25.99

      Meh..I was going to bother but seeing as they keep putting the price up..nah..might as well just go to my local.

      Looks like they made a mistake when half pricing it…they are saying it's 59.99 so half price is $30. This means the $20 was possibly a pricing error?

    From their website,"The world's most celebrated beer" …."Cobra beers are also one of the most highly awarded."

    dubious look

    I'm into marketing speak as much as the next fella but me thinks this is trying to make it be perceived as something it really isn't….loads of awards = great tasting beer right?

    I'd suspect they're the equivalent of the 'Participation Ribbon' that you got at school for just dipping your toe in the pool at the school swimming carnival.

    Sounds from it's wikipedia page that the company has had a LOT of financial problems and been bought out a few times. I'd be very surprised if this was anything more than a very, very average tasting beer but worst case scenario you can take it to a mate's place/BBQ and drink his decent ones instead!!!! ;-)

        True, true. Dno why I didn't think of that. Anyway - I just received my order too! Interesting that they come in 4-packs.

  • Nousernamehere on 28/09/2012 - 21:58

    Recieved mine today, even though I wasn't home at the time and when doing the delivery the instructions were 'to leave in carport' but was told by Aus Post that they couldn't do that as it needed a signature..

    Not a 'bad' beer overall, took a little getting use to. On to my 3rd now and it's actually growing on me, my dad is coming up tomorrow and I think he'll like this, so might give him a 4-pack of it or something to take home, see how we go.

    What do other people think of it?

    • pikapika on 30/09/2012 - 12:17

      Overall for the price it's nothing to complain about…Would I get it again? No.

  • pharm86 on 28/09/2012 - 23:36

    I got mine, drank around 11 bottles so far with some friends

    Not a lot of carbonation, very smooth, but lacking flavour wise. Very inoffensive beer. Did go well with Indian food like the website suggested, but in the way water goes well with food, i.e. Not a true marriage of flavours such as Aussie Shiraz and steak or Pinot Noir and Truffles

  • stinky on 30/09/2012 - 12:58

    Its old beer! I received mine and the expiry is 22 October. Its about to go out of date! There was no mention of this in the ad.

    • saverman on 03/10/2012 - 15:49

      Hey, you're right. My date is 21/10/12. I've been enjoying the beer - but I probably wouldn't have bought if I knew it was quite so near it's expiry(/best before?) date. Reading up on beer expiry dates, it seems it often doesn't matter; but it depends on the ingredients, brewing process, bottle (glass), handling/storage etc. I don't know much about Cobra but I'd be a bit dubious of it (hence reluctant to buy).

      I'm gonna keep enjoying it anyway.
