Just maybe it might be a good thing; they'll leave coopers alone and make tooheys taste more like coopers?

Nor in Victoria. How ridiculous. The world's biggest supplier of homebrew concentrate and in their wisdom Brewcraft decides not to sell their product.

Heck, at Tooheys (Lion Nathan) pubs you can generally get CUB (Foster's) products like VB, etc. And vice versa.

Apart from the generally crap advice I've received at Brewcraft (anyone remember my "yeah, I have brewed that kit before but I stuffed it up because I didn't read the instructions" story?), this is another reason not to go there.

Is Brewcraft just hard-headed?

Oliver,

Can you repeat the story? I haven't heard it yet and I could use a good laugh before I climb the water tower and go postal. What a fricking day, 3 Chiefs and 1 Indian.

Well the guy at my brewcraft store seems to give pretty good advice, but they must be hard headed over Coopers - the argument that they wont sell Coopers because they get undercut on the product by the big chain stores like Big W and K-Mart really doesnt fly when you see that they do sell Tooheys and MSB, both readily available for marginally cheaper prices at the above mentioned.

And it doesn't fly when you can only get the original and international series at the big chain store. Cooper's is most emphatic that their brewmaster, premium, and malt extract products are only available through "specialty home brew stores".

Tooheys, Castlemaine XXXX and MSB made by Maltexo (owned by Lion Nathan).
Black Rock, Gold Rush and Brewcraft-domestic 1.5kg brand made by Maltexo (owned by Lion Nathan).
The question is - Who owns Brewcraft?

They also make the Brewiser cans. Thats a fair whack of the same product wearing different labels.

This is a typical problem with a free market capitalist system. Our only option is to hope we can hurry up and achieve communism.
