Have you tried asking in your local Indian restaurant for where they get them, they would probably point you in the right direction.

The last time I had a curry in the east end of London, I was horrified to learn that they now brew Cobra in the UK.

Yes, but there was a certain mystique about going into an Indian restaurant and getting authentic Indian brewed beer. Added to the whole curry experience.
In fact there are very few beers available in the UK that aren’t brewed there - Becks, Nastro, and that Mexican crap that I can’t remember the name of, are the only ones that spring to mind, but I am sure there must be more. Even the hallowed Heineken is brewed in the UK now.
Sad days.

If this is near you give them a call:
Alexander Hills Hotel, Near Cleveland, QLD
Bottleshop 07 3824 4444
They carry a good range and may know how to get it, if they don't have it.

Its only good point was the fact it was trendy to open the bottle, then plug it back up again with a hunk of lime before anyone was tempted to drink the stuff

Didn't know you could get it in Oz, I knew Heineken..
Grolsch has just got a new factory. The old one was in the centre of a city sort of, in the same area as the Fireworks factory/storage that blew up and killed 22 people, injured 1000, and flattened a whole 'suburb'.
I heard that was even on the news in Oz (a few years ago already, May).
They still haven't worked out what happenend yet!!
OK, now truly going off topic

Re: balti and beer
You can get Kingfisher in most of the Indian Restaurants in Perth if that helps what with the flight over and all it would be rather an expensive beer though!
There is a bottleshop in Freo that sells Cobra so you could kill two birds with one trip......
Whilst on the subject anyone in Perth no where you can get a proper Indian Curry ? (like an English Indian curry ) weve sampled about 6 or 7 restaurants over here and non of them even come close to the worst english indian ive had.....
it seems to be choose a meat and pick a colour, flavour is irrelevant .....
