    When i was at Plonk in April, i mentioned to one of the staff that it was the first time i'd been to the new shop within Fyshwick markets. He said they moved about 3 years ago. On a visit which must have been in 2009 or 2010 i remember them telling me that they were getting their webshop up and running soon.

    Fast forward to April 2013 and they were telling another customer that they were getting their webshop up and running soon.

    Nearly in August 2013 and the website continues to say:

    Online Store
    Coming Soon!!​


    I guess we don't always like what we read from some shops online.

    I take your point Owen and, to be honest, none of the stores in Australia are perfect. Most don't insult their customers though.

    You did whine at the shipping policy's at alahambra liquors so you argument holds no water or credibility

    I guess with all the anti hype about the All Day IPA I wasnt expecctng anything, and was quite pleasantly surprised, will certaily be good in summer
    liked the double and the centennial,
    and the pale was ok
    wasnt really a huge fan of the break Stout, much prefer Boris

    First time I had breakfast stout I did not like it at all. Had it again a year later and fell in love with the beer. Bought a case of it when it arrived and stocked some founders were I run a restaurant at.

    We have a world class brewer here on the shelves in the arse end of the world, be thankful for that. They chose to ship here rather than other countries. That is a huge A coup d'état for us.

    Just had the Porter and its fantastic !

    Drinking some Breakfast Stout right now. Had it once about 3 years ago and it's not quite as good as I remember. That was bound to happen though. I'm a cranky old bastard who hates everything now, after all. Still good, just not blowing my mind. $20 for 4 is excellent.

    I think someone messed up a price and you got excessively cheap Breakfast Stout. I bought a case and it worked out at 5.41 a bottle.

    Maybe I get a few bucks off at Archive for being regular/good looking. But seriously I bought a dozen from Slowbeer too because my friends will want some and they were $6.50 each. Still not a big enough discrepancy to care about considering a single of Ol Rasputin is $9 most places.

    I had 3 All Days last night (and a Breakfast Stout), that beer is actually very nice
