Woolworths takes stake in Gage Roads

The good, the bad and the ugly of commercial beer and breweries, including microbreweries and craft breweries.

Woolworths takes stake in Gage Roads

Post by Oliver »

Woolies' has picked up 25 per cent of Gage Roads for $1.9 million.

It's an interesting move. Read more about it here and here.

(As an aside, I just learned that Gage Roads is actually an area off the coast of WA!)

Cheers,

Oliver

If it makes their IPA a bit cheaper then good on them.

Hopefully :D

I've noticed Dan Murphy's have recently permanently dropped the price of the Gage Roads IPA to less than than Squires a sixer, down to $13 from $17 and is now the same price a carton - $50. Not sure if it applied to the other brews in their line up. Wonder if they'll be pushing it more, now their parent company have a large stake.
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
