While I'm aware many are reluctant to divulge information on important US/EU shipments coming into Australia, I'd like to make a thread where people can share any news they have on potential shipments for the benefit of all of us enthusiasts. Being in the ACT makes it harder for me to get news ahead of time but anything I do get I'll share here. Cheers.
I've heard murmurs about some TEN FIDY making it's way here sometime in the near future...nothing solid but I'm excited. Not sure when(or if) it arrived last ear but seeing as the winter months in the U.S are coming to an end it seems more likely to be soon.
TEN Fidy did make it at some point. I know Plonk has some Deviant Dale's at the moment which I suspect came in the same shipment.
News from a few days ago regarding legitimate STONE imports. http://www.brewsnews.com.au/2014/01/stone-arrives-in-australia/
I have just seen an ad by a well-known lower North Shore bottle shop noting they had a 'large US shipment' in, inc Avery, DFH, Stone etc Does anyone know if such beers have just landed (again?) as the lineup seems worryingly similar to a shipment that arrived in early November if I remember correctly.
See what they have, if it's mainly the 750ml releases and not 60/90 IPA etc. then me thinks it's the December shipment...all speculation though!
This is the list. So quite clearly some non-grey legit stuff in here, as well as grey...but yep, jury out as to whether another shipment has landed or some well-stale product - hope it's the former.

Hmmm, let us know if you find out anything else; my hunch is still December shipment and they jumped on the bandwagon late and threw some fresh stuff in.
Some stuff came in 2 weeks ago, more grey in 6 weeks. Legitimate Stone should arrive in March. All of the above list is grey. I
