www.xxxx.com.au You should plainly see the link to it.
Just bought some then and I approve. Very Stouty flavour and 6.5% alcohol content ftw. Reminds me abit of Boags strongarm. |

Where did you get it from?
I've been trying for about a month to find somewhere to get it from without any luck. My local bottle shops haven't even heard of it |

Yeah I have been trying to track some down too...
Apparently they brewed it to specifically appeal to the clubbing crowd. I love my XXXX Bitter, so this should go down a treat. |

How much for a carton... you guys who buy 6 packs are really stupid (unless it's one of those ones that are the same price for a carton as 4x6packs)...

and if your going to a party or some type of gathering, a carton attracts people and hence your booze gets looted faster.

Read an article in the paper a week or so ago about how it was being marketed for the clubbing crowd as Strex said. Wife went to Dan Murphy's tonight at Sumner park and they didnt have any. :( |

Well that is definitely the first step of the learning curve. XXXX carton = $32 ~ $30 on special 6 pack = $12, 4x6 pack = $48 Beers in a carton approx equal $1.33 per beer... Beers in a 6pack approx equal $2.00 per beer... Edit: phew... sounds better (maths fixed) last edited by Hardball, Billy at 01:00:55 26/Jan/06 |

The way to fix that is by drinking something like Fosters ($36/carton). That way when you notice someone else drinking it you can throw an empty bottle at their head.

XXXX Special Brew, is around 40-45 dollars a carton. My shop has plenty of it. You will find any small bottle-o will not have it. Try the liqour superstore in lutwyche all big liquor barns as well will stock it.

I had a 6 of this today on .au day on fpot's recommendation. I found it tasted like ass. I ended up buying some smirnoff blacks to get drunk off as this spoiled any desire I had to drink beer today. I found it tasted like Toohey's Old, ie poo.
:( The 6.5% didn't make up for the crap flavour and I found the 7% lemonade I ended up drinking was a lot better. shame on you xxxx!! :( |

i managed to get a carton of the special brew ($40), i enjoyed it, but i still like bitter better.
it certainly is full flavoured... and i got drunk quicker which was great. i went through the whole carton and needless to say i was absolutely maggot by the end of it. all in all, worthy addition to the XXXX lineup but not a bitter beater. |

Strex there is no way in the world you knocked off a whole carton of heavys, let alone special brew by yourself.

I ended up going to the Story Bridge for the cockie races. f*** me it was packed, hot and took 40 odd minutes to get a drink... AND I couldn't get any XXXX from the beer tents (had to drink cougar & coke). No point in getting more than one drink as it would just get hot within minutes or spilt by some random trying to squeeze through.
What's really funny is that I always wondered what a nightclub looked like at closing time when all the lights were turned on if you were sober. All these chicks wearing (or not wearing as the case maybe) their very best nightclub gear wandering around in high heels sinking up to their ankles in chipbark and sloshy grass <-- most humorous Pretty difficult to get a skinful when drinks are that far apart. Made up for it when I got home and kicked off with the lads though =) Damn work today erghhh.. |

Doing a carton over 12 hours isnt anything special. Heck one of my mates has polished 30 cans off over 4 hours, and it seemed doable (by that i mean it wouldnt be tooo tricky)
