Carton 12 (12 x 500ml Bottles) $70.00

That would be a resounding NO

Considering I can't afford to buy a tank of petrol for the Tribute at the moment, to spend a similar amount on beer for YOU to drink, would just about get me divorced.

Thanks.. I might skip this one

:(

Good thinking Mr Clive.
I'll take a look anyways but; new building + central location + upmarket customer base = over-inflated prices...?

not at all Andrew, i get on reasonably well with the guys in there as i'm their regular ALM delivery guy, they are in a VERY competitive market, & know it, the head guy told me once if i find any brand he sells cheaper somewhere else, he'll beat it by 10% & then reduce his selling price to match it for everyone else :mrgreen:

i've also witnessed him throwing a beer rep out of the shop whilst saying "just because your beer is different to most, doesn't mean you can rip me or my customers off, f**k off & don't come back until you can better that price by at least 35%" :shock: :lol:
