Yep Arbory.

They've put thier prices up.

Used to get a schooner for under 10 bucks.

Now it's 11.

I only go there because it's a quick walk to the G and it's a quick off at the station


I do want to expand my bars for the footy and whatnot

Today Netflix released a doco on CCR live at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. It's amazing, check it out.

I went once, paid $40 for 4 pots of Asahi, never went back.

Guess they need to up the prices with the amount of rent they'd pay for that kind of location.

I left the footy.
My best mate is driving the train home.

May not make it given every train hw touches breaks

They had coopers for 9.50 but now they have stomping ground for 11.

Paying Metro for the lease can't be cheap

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Good news my mate hasn't broken the train yet

Depends what beers you're into mate, I'm a sucker for the German stuff so there's a couple of german beer joints across the river from Arbory.

I'm not much of a city goer when it comes to bars, I tend to stick to South Yarra/Prahran area

Ouch , that's nearly enough for a bottle of cheap but decent from aldi.

I used to know a guy who worked in the business and he said that a lot of their booze is just relabelled stuff. Their beer is stuff like Stella with a new label.

Their wines are good but give you a head ache from the preservatives.

I call bullshit on that. Probably a rumour spread by those who feel threatened.
Having said that , every bottle i have in my house ( only one from Aldi ) says "contains sulphites "

a) their range includes reputable brands. ie Brown Brothers.
b) some of their home brand stuff has won some serious awards.

That's the process.
Go to Dan's or Liquorland, they will buy any garbage and put it on their shelf with their markup.
If it doesn't move they get rid of it off their shelves .
A bit like the process StKilda use for getting players in the door.

Aldi don't have a whole supermarket , so they "select " what they are going to sell.

This is the beer i just bought.

I know nothing about booze but that I enjoy it. The Aldi Toro Macho Tempranillo is really nice but I wake up like I've been beaten with the bottle.

I had it at a mates place. It's actually quite nice. I do like my Tempranillo though, As long as you label cask red as Tempranillo I'll drink it.

 

[gringo2011]

Yeah
s**t wine lol

I'm a wine ****, I'd drink anything alcoholic.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Yeah
s**t wine lol

Not so shit.

Its easy to be a pricetag wine snob. "Is this wine good"? , you betcha, paid $50 a bottle. But it takes real talent to decant your well researched el plonko into a carafe before the guests arrive, and to say " try the wine , i think you'll enjoy the bright berry notes and rustic feel "

You might remember the stir that was created a few months ago when six cheap Aldi wines blitzed the Sydney International Wine Competition. “Australia’s...

www.foodwinetravel.com.au

El Toro Macho 2013 Tempranillo: This Spanish import was awarded Blue Gold (equivalent of a silver medal). It got a lot of the headlines and consequently has sold out. No doubt its $4.99 price tag had a part to play in that, but it gives plenty of bang for its buck. Savoury, even a little rustic, with generous fruit and bright berry notes, it’s eminently drinkable. As is often the case, however, if you trade up a little you’ll be richly rewarded.

With the aggressive increases from the RBA I've had to sell my property and now I use that money to pay rent to live in the wall cavities there.
