Hi

been to Dan Murphys in Albany Creek, it's massive I don't know how I missed, found the Newcastle brown Ale but only in minature bottles, 330ml as opposed to the 565ml (or there abouts) bottles in England $69.99 for a crate, so no food next week then.

I went to Dan Murphy's Albany Creek on Wednesday and they were sold out of the English beers!!!! Word got round the expat community very quickly!
However I went to the Chermside one yesterday (opening day) and managed to secure some supplies.

Also no under 18's allowed in the store - is that normal for bottle shops?

Think most of it has been sold through this site....and theres a large amount in my fridge! The woman on the checkout said that she was thinking of trying some of the "foreign stuff" and we were obviously going to have a good time "trying the stuff out....." I responded with the fact that I've been drinking the stuff for years and if she tried out she'd know what REAL beer tastes like

Went in to DM Chermside with my mate on Friday, and they wouldn't serve her because she had no ID - she's 27. They're obviously very careful. It was funny though, the girl who refused her looked younger than her.

Perhaps we should all have a meet-up there.

I nearly got refused at Gilhooleys in the city once....as I'm on the wrong side of 40 I thought it hilarious (though would have been livid if I hadn't had my passport on me!). I was with a bunch of other Expats all considerably younger than me..... they had no problem at all!

Up for the idea if people fancy it....we'll all have to bring our ID though!!

This was on fire yesterday :curse:

But don't worry polly, I think it was just one of the signs that went up in smoke, all the beer seemed save

Good that my larder is full of their Scrumpy Jack stocks then, I was just saving it from the flames

That's why I couldn't get any the other night - I had to buy a slab of Guiness instead - such a hardship it was LOL
