Does anyone know where in Canberra we can buy San Miguel Beer (Philippine beer)? The bottle-o in Braddon used to sell them but not anymore.

Cheers

Plonk in Fyshwick definitely have it, but they have the stuff that’s manufactured in the UK, not Hong Kong (the best version, in my opinion) or the Philippines. It’s definitely a good drop, with a particularly distinctive taste.

Maybe call someone at the Philippine embassy, there’s plenty of Pinoys that sell Filipino beverages and food privately here in Canberra.

Where have you tried?

There’s several bottle shops in Braddon. Try all the others.

Then there’s Civic. The one opposite Uni bar has a few different beers.

In addition to the other places mentioned above, Jim Murphy Airport Cellars has a bit of international stuff.

More importantly, where can I get a case of Hello Kitty sparkling wine?

The more pertinant question is not “Where can you buy San Miguel?” but “Why would you want to?”. That stuff is vile

It’s nice in the Phillipines but doesn’t seem to travel very will

“where can I get beer” can almost always be answered by “Plonk at the Fyshwick Markets”.

I’m sure if they don’t have whatever particular brew you’re after, they’ll be able to tell you where to get it or get it in for you. A great afternoon can be had with a couple of interesting beers and a pizza from the deli.

Only downside is that the markets only open Thurs-Sun.

Hence the invention of the ‘six-pack’ and, more reliably, the ‘slab’.

I’m sure I’ve seen it all over the place. Matter of fact, I think Supabarn in Wanniassa has it. That being said, I’m sure you’ll find it at any of the dedicated liquor warehouses around town, such as Dan Murphy’s, First Choice etc (you’ll likely get it for a better price at these places too).

Give Dan Murphy’s in Woden or Tuggeranong a ring. I’m pretty sure they stock it.

I think I rememeber seeing it at Georges Liquor Stable in Phillip last week.

Can’t hurt giving George a call and asking I guess.
