Long time customer now looking at Ted’s

published

Crap top! Crap bottle reduction! Crap plastic! Used to drink “Cold”, switched to “Dry” since it came out with Ted’s as back up, not happy CUB! Ted’s are tasting better, cheaper, no plastic and full sized!

Lost me a a loyal customer

published

Forgot the Carlton dry since the changes I have tried TEDs 340mls twist top $38.00 slab good substitute. Not going back.

Used to be perfect

published

Have been drinking Carlton dry since it hit the market, it was the perfect beer for me . But since you decided to reduce the quantity of beer under the guise of the new ring pull ( which is crap ) you have lost me as a loyal customer

Product Changes

published

Carlton will reinstate the twist top on the Dry bottle . Ask yourself and tell consumers why you changed something that works in the first place, Reduced volume, why ? Cost of product at outlets not reduced. Another example of the consumer being taken advantage of again . Want loyalty, change the caps and go back to original volume .



Carlton Dry stubbies

published

I’ve been drinking Carlton dry since it’s inception but as soon as they reduced Qty per stubbie and installed stupid ring pull lids myself and at least 12 of my friends are now drinking another brand.
I honestly don’t know where the new generation gets their ideas from. We used to go through 3-4 cartons a week per person. Qty down price up. Good luck CUB

Extra GRRR

Ring pull, less beer more on me than in me.
Why
NO Excuse
Don’t mess with perfection
Don’t want to say it but might have to change beers.

How to damage a brand

Ring pulls that cut your fingers, frustrating plastic packaging and reduction in volume....good beer but I have voted with my feet

Blatant Greed

published

Carlton Dry drinkers have been forced to find other beers to drink because of the blatant GREED of what was once a great company. Not to mention what they’ve done to Budweiser!

Rip off volume with a crappy rip off lid!

published

We lose 2 stubbies out of every carton in volume and cut ourselves trying to open the bloody things. I'm finding another beer to drink! P s. The plastic packaging is a bad idea too.

Change back to twist top and make the bottle bigger again you greedy

published

Very ordinary and bad decisions made by the marketing department to hide the fact they dropped the mls in the bottle, bring back the twist too.

Great beer but terrible pull tabs.

published

we've been buying this beer for many years its a great beer but cant stand the new pull tabs and our friends all agree, please bring back the twist tops.
Tried other beers some pretty good some not so good but if it means not cutting my finger and not waisting spilt beer we'll be buying another beer.

Shame on you

published

I have stopped buying Carlton dry since the reduction of bottle size i am sure people would have gladly have paid a few more dollars for the same amount of beer not been ripped of by approx 2 beers I will also not buy any beer supplied by that company's greedy fat cats

Re inventing the wheel and stuffed it up

published

Less beer, and a stupid 1940’s pull opener, might as well change the recipe to a craft beer format

Bring back twist tops now!!!

published

Like everyone else, continue to either cut my finger or spill my beer trying to open the bloody thing. The pricing is still the same but getting less in the bottle..daylight robbery.. nothing wrong with the twist tops!

change of bottle and top

published

Disappointed why they would want to change something that was great
Smaller Bottle
Zip top lid
But same price
Don,t understand why would someone would think this was better

Very disappointed

published

Been drinking Carlton dry for a long time. Very disappointed with the ring top as it now has a flat taste and I'm changing my beer. The old saying goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

Very disappointed

published

Drunk this brew for many years but just cut my finger for the last time. The new ring pull is not for me. Done some taste testing and now changed my beer of choice. As well as the ring pull, the six pack is wrapped in plastic. This should be banned under the single use plastic bag law as once you've ripped it off, you can't use it again. Carlton United Brewery should take a good look at these issues ASAP or i think the drinkers will vote with their feet. Don't even drink the draft anymore, even when it's on happy hour special.

I love the beer, but the new bottle scars me

published

I love carlton dry, it's my beer of choice.
The new bottles are crap. Smaller in volume and the ring pull cuts my finger resulting in unnecessary loss of blood. The blood flow increases as I drink more beer due to the blood thinning characteristics of carlton dry.
Get it sorted Carlton United brewery asap b4 I die.

carlton reps, you tried something that's not broke, jus what you broke it and I thin its to late to even try to recoup, the clip in sun days paper you try to explain, by saying you have to increase the price, what, 375 ml $2.50 joking. with saying that I have gone to another brewery. with 330ml bottles and ring pull, 100 carton a year for me and my mates. the question is what is in the future on carlton dry.
