Where is the best place to bulk buy beer?

[dreamer]

I want to try and sort out a bit of a christmas present for the guys at work to take home!

So where is the best place to bulk buy beer? around about 30 cartons, or to the nearest pallet load, however it works..

Help appreciated, thanks!

Got any mates in the hotelier industry? Might be able to get it from the wholesaler at cost price

Edit: can I have a job?

^WHS^
Unless you have a mate in the game who holds a liquor licence there is no bulk buying of alcohol.
You can go to your local and speak to the boss - For that amount you will get a fair price just ask around for the best deal.

Play them off against each other with the "lowest price guaranteed" thingo

or

Boozle.com.au : Search for Australia's cheapest alcohol prices - find cheapest prices, buy lots

try 'Australian Liquor Marketers'

they are a wholesale/distribution warehouse I think
don't like your chances though, best bet is to go to an independent bottle-shop and just ask the owner for a decent price on a pallet (which should be either 60 or 100 cartons)

ALM = only to stores. Also beer options would be limited. Carlton & Swan cover most of the beers.

they do it to anyone with a liquor license or bulk account...
and they have MANY different varieties of beer

Dan Murphys or First Choice both have price beat guarantees, and hold bulk bulk stock. they'd be your best bet.

pm me with a list mate. I'll see what our best is.

Try Home delivery liquor or some combination of those words in Malaga.

Also I was told by a mate who used to be in the industry that there is a place behind City farmers in Churchlands (or somewhere around there) that sells at heavily reduced prices.

Sorry I can give you a name or anything.

vintage cellars. unlikely to be the cheapest, but the amount of cellar share you will get should make up for it

mate, go to U-brew it or billabong brewery. Do up a couple of different brews. will cost you a fraction of the price, and taste better that what you buy in the shops.

you can do them up in bottles, cans, or even kegs. I'm heading to U-Brew it tomorrow to get a brew for christmas. can't wait.. costing me $140 for 50L of premium beer.

theres a place on selby st in wembley next to city farmers. its a liquor wholesaler but anyone can go in there just need to buy 9L minimum. the prices are basically the same as normal shops sale prices except on all alcohol all the time.

youll see a 1/2 price pottery place, if you go down to the right of that you should see the big warehouse full of booze.

Liquor Traders Australia.

Cnr Selby St / Flynn St. Wembly. See Street View.

They're a distributor which can't "officially" sell (and advertise) to the public, but still do. It's basically a warehouse full of beer and you walk in and grab a trolley and stack 'er up. They're "generally" a lot cheaper or around the same prices as if on special elsewhere, depending on what you're after. They have a lot of imported beers which they seem to get really cheap as apposed to the local stuff. Depending on how much you get they may even give you a discount (which is what they did in my last visit).

Good thing is their range, and basically having it cheap all in the one spot (as apposed to boozling and trecking around perth). So yeah, best bet is to check out the current specials around the place and then go in and compare prices.

EDIT: god damnit dr00

My parents are publicans in Merriden and they said the cheapest in WA metro was from Jandakot Liquor Store. I bought all our wind up booze from there and they were really cheap.
