I've been trying to track down a supply of Bundaberg Peachee in Melbourne. I know it's available pretty widely in Brisbane because I saw it when I was up there (and my GF became addicted, hence this question). Now, I rang Bundaberg, and they assured me that that IGAs in Vic stock it. Thing is I've visited about 15 of them now (plus a bunch of Safeways, Coles, and Food Works), and the closest I've come is one of the Food Works (in Yarraville), which stocked it (as in, they have the spot for it on their shelf) but they were sold out.

So, I was wondering if anyone had seen it elsewhere? It should be in the softdrink isle, next to the Bundaberg Lemon Lime and Bitters (I think). Sometimes this is in a different isle (in the larger supermarkets) under "mixers".

Any help appreciated, I was trying to buy her a pack of this for Valentines day!

I got some. Waited for the FoodWorks in Yarraville to restock their shelves.

I have been meaning to try some of those new Bundy Brewed drinks but never get around to buying them when I am in the shop. Is this one any good?

My GF thinks it is! I prefer the GB myself... I'm trying to collect enough of their bottles to bottle a batch of my own GB in. They're nice squat roll-top stubbies.

Yeah they are excellent bottles. They also fit perfectly into the plastic veg crates they use at the markets to display fruit and veg in. It is a bit of a pain to fill twice as many bottles, but it also means you can have just 1 beer rather than having to drink 2.

Honestly I think I have been drinking less since I got the kegs

I was worried I would have a heap of leaks and evaporation in them but I honestly think they save me drinking beer I do not really want to drink more often than it encourages me to drink more than I should.

I've found the same thing, Kevnlis.

One other thing... if you're trying to combat a drinking problem, try getting your motorbike Ls. "I might go for a ride later tonight" becomes "I can't drink anything tonight" whether you actually go for that ride or not.

Not complaining that my consumption has increased. Whilst i may be a few kegs *cough* 10 *cough* over playing weight the plus side is i get to brew more which means i learn more which means i drink more which means .............

Its a downward spiral...

geez, if i get kegs and drink more than what i do now i might have to consider putting my name on the liver transplant list...

It's a matter of getting in early on those lists. Plan for the future.

if i dont need a transplant by the time my name is called up, i could probably sell my spot for a hefty sum.... now that is planning ahead

Transplant scalping?

This is the Bundaberg Peachee thread fellas.

or maybe we can all just have fun and get off topic once in a while, usually when the thread is going nowhere anyway and no one cares much?

Seems as tho the moderator needs to be moderated

Question had been asked and answered. The fingers ran ahead of me a little.
