Coles discontinuing homebrew line

It seems that Coles stores on the Northern Beaches (probably elsewhere in Sydney too) are discontinuing their home brew lines.

Which is bad news for those of us that like to throw down a brew every now and then, as it’s going to mean a bit more stuffing around if we want to a cheap and cheerful drink like a Brigalow cider.

But in the short term its great news for the home brewer as they are selling all their stock at reduced prices. The Manly Coles in the Corso has all cans marked for sale between $4.10 and $5.10. I hear it’s also the same story in the Coles at Warringah Mall so better rush out and stock up while it lasts!

I got myself a can of the Cascade Chocolate Mahogany Porter for $4 which i look forward to brewing up with some grain to enhance the taste a bit.

P.S It has since come to our attention they haven’t discontinued homebrew altogether just shrunk their extract range to encompass the basic Coopers and Toohey’s cans. They still also thankfully have left the basics such as sterilizing powder, dextrose and crown seals, as many times i have started bottling only to realize i have no caps.
