SA Footy

If this has been discussed before I apologise....

After a bit of an in joke with mates, I decided to try and get a 6 pack of West End Export for a bit of a laugh.

Low and behold, it is no longer brewed...

Hi Matt

We try to introduce new brands from time to time to meet the consumers changing tastes. Unfortunately the bottle shops don’t have the room available to store all of the different brands that are already on the market and the new brands being introduced. So to make room for the outlets to stock some of the new ranges coming out, we have had to delete some of our slower selling ones.

Sadly West end Export is one of the brands that is a slower selling beer nationally, hence the decision to stop brewing it.

So then I heard my mate at work say he hadnt been able to get Southwark Premium for some time- yep you guessed it:

Now, I can live without export, but Southwark Premium was actually a pretty decent drop...

Bastards.

I'll have some Beer man's beer thanks, go the Eagle Bitter!

Very sad news indeed concerning Southwark Premium. I guess I'll have to settle with Boags Premium now

Southwark Premium was a really good drop
probably struggled due to the lack of advertising it had compared to its "peer beers" (i like that term!)

And I wish I'd coined the term 'Peer Beers', its a corker!

Cripes - it had a teaspoon of sugar in every glass - green death!!

Yeah always grabbed a slab of Southwark Premium when at $40 specials. Oh well...

Did the trip round a few Woolies liquors couple of months back when the "clearance" tickets went up.

Lion Nathan would have a few here in SA over the past 10 years (my beer drinking times), I guess with the takeover of SA Brewing
- Eagle Range (Super, Bitter, Blue, Blue Ice)
- Southwark Premium
- Southwark White
- Southwark Pale
- West End Export
- West End Light
- West End Gold

Does it, havent seen it but...havent been looking

West End Light is still on the Lion Nathan website....but so is WE Export and Southwark Premium

The shortlived Southwark White wheat beer was my favourite when i was a "young fella"

They also got rid of Southwark Special and years later the exact same drink turns up called Blonde and sells at a premium price.

What's the problem ?
IF IT AIN'T COOPERS - IT AIN'T BEER !
(That goes for stout too !)
