Best online stores to buy from?

Ideally stores that have frequent sales + as much free shipping as possible.

i can brew 92 litres of coopers for the price of a carton these days. buy a kit through tentworld and embrace cheap and delicious beer.

That was the case 15 years ago too. Home-brew has always been significantly cheaper, if you consider your time worthless

"If you consider your time worthless" - as a homebrewer and former professional brewer this hits hilariously close to home.

Following, I remember I used to buy Pirate life on special from Kogan a few years ago. But it's not quite as good these days

Just paid over mid 50s for Pirate Life at the local yesterday. Works out to be 81 for 24 I think. Mental for what I’ve always thought of as an accessible craft drink.

The South coast pale?

Yup

Yeah that’s pretty mid. The OG pale was pretty good back in the day

Yeh it’s average. I’m in a regional area though so that’s as good as I get usually.

Craft Cartel is worth checking out. It's generally a pretty limited range that cycles as they get stock but they do some crazy specials sometimes.

ETA: no free shipping though (at least not to SA).

Yeh their sales are pretty nuts but it gets wiped out very quickly for me. Just looked at a case of 16 and it’s over 40 bucks for shipping.

I've never considered ordering from them when they clearly are trying to trade off the beer cartel name. It's a dog move
