Re: beer prices?
Yeah I agree, does seem a little steep for a slab.
I suppose it's gonna be more expensive for the European style lagers, I am planning on brewing my own anyway..
Found this not so long ago, thought it might be interesting to those on the forum -

Having done some googling it would also seem that draught beer in pubs is cheaper than the supermarket equivalents, coming out at around roughy $5 for a pint (£2.10)*
*please correct me if I am wrong as I have yet to sample my first Aussie Pub

Re: beer prices?
$50 for a slab (24 stubbies) is about what you'll pay for premium beer. That works out at about £1.65 a pint.
For a mainstream beer you'll be looking at $35 per slab (approx £1.20 per pint).
In Victoria, pub prices are more like $7 (£2.80) a pint although you can probably get about $5 per pint in an RSL (or if you drink VB). CBD pubs can be more expensive (up to $9 per pint - but you can do better than this if you look around ).

Re: beer prices?
The premium beers are $50 a slab, but mainstream beers are around the $30 a slab price. I don't stick to one beer, I just buy whatever's on special at the bottle shop.

Re: beer prices?
I am the same as you, I drink pretty much whatever is on special offer (except VB )
I got a slab of Heiniken for $44.00 the other day, I saw it in another bottle shop a few days later at $57.00.
So it pays to not be to fussy.

Re: beer prices?
Yea true - my local Dan Murphy's has Stella on at $40 for 24 at the moment and Tooheys Extra Dry (actually prefer that to Stella) for $30.

Try Tasman Bitter at about $30.00 a carton (24 x 375ml - always check that you're getting either 375ml or 330ml) at Liquorland only. It's 4.8% and quite drinkable.
Of course it's not really a bitter, but it goes down well anyway.
When I go to pubs in Perth, I find pints of nasty stuff like Toohey's New at about $7.00 (£2.90) a pint.
