Cascade Draught and Stout: Where to get in Melbourne?

spootmonkey · 24th February 2006, 8:30 PM

I recently spent a while in Tasmania and fell in love with Cascade's Draught and Stout. On returning to Melbourne, I discovered to my horror that even my local Dan Murphy's only stock the Premium, Premium Light, Pale and occasionally the seasonal brews. Does anyone know where I can get these beers in Melbourne?

Fitzroy St IGA often has Cascade Stout, and some of their other seasonal ones.

IMO Cascade's Pale Ale is better than the draught.. and if you want a good Tassie draught try Boags.

Have you tried Cellarbrations, they tend to have a good range and our local branch are happy to try to get anything in that they don't stock.

I'll take the Cascade over the Boags any day of the week, thanks.

And ta to the others for suggestions, I'll check those out next time I have a day off.

I moved to Melbourne about 6 years ago after growing up in Tassy. Whenever mates come over to visit they bring a slab of Boags Ale over as 'RENT'. And no pay no stay

.

For such a little place Tasmanians are extremely parochial about either Cascade or Boags.

I did notice that, seems to be a bit of a north/south thing too?

Yep, sure is.

Yep, I'm from the north (I live about 2km from the boags factory), so I'm a little biased.

Clarinda cellars on centre rd Clarinda has Cascade draught. In fact I would have to say that that bottle shop has one of the best beer selections around.

Same here, I used to live about 5km's away from the Brewery until moving to Melbourne. Can't stand Cascade, welll except for their premium light.

Hehe... I grew up in Launny as well.

I think it would be easier to admit you like it in the ass than drink cascade to some people down there. Although neither admission would be popular :P
