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.

Nonsense

Wth... seriously??? Those pulltop things are terrible horrible to open... if you don't cut your finger then you spill your beer on a man sitting next to you... wth...

Bring back the twist cap

published

I love this beer but the new pull cap is disastrous. I cannot open a bottle without spilling the drink which makes the reduced amount even smaller. Not going to buy any more of the new version.

twist tops better

published

Not a fan of the ring pull top I've cut my finger twice already. Twist top easier to open. Cheers!



Hate the ring pull & smaller bottle

published

Hate the ring pull. I lose beer every time I try to Pull the top off. Not impressed by the smaller size. I’m going back to Fosters.

Rip off!!!!

published

Ring pull.......what a joke!!! Smaller stubbies equates to 600ml less per carton, that to me is a rip-off. Notice the price hasn't dropped. All food and drink companies are making everything smaller and telling us it is to keep prices down.... Are we eventually going to be drinking out of 100ml stubbies?

Ripped off with size and given a dodgy top to open

published

Have always been a Carlton drinker but am now opting for Toohey's, Not only do we get ripped off by the size, the bottle no longer fits the average stubby holder, we also have a pathetic ring pull top. If it ever goes back to normal I might consider going back to it but unlikely.

Ring top boycott

published

Not buying anymore until twist top is returned and size back to what it was. Has someone been replaced for such terrible decision.

Ticked off

published

Greatest joke of all time not only less beer smaller bottles that all the subbie holders i have fall off .. not just that the amount off times i have cut my finger on the pull tops i love going out with blood streaming from my finger.
I have been a big fan off this beer for 3 years but now i will going to something else that wont be carlton or anything to do with carlton United.
Good work you done yourselves proud.

Disgusting, deceptive Carlton Dry changes.

published

Well done CUB trying to deceive the public with an easy open ring pull that you struggle with when opening. Spillage is almost unavoidable. I have been drinking Carlton Dry for over 10 years and have noticed a subtle change in the flavour. The deception continues with the loss of 2 stubbies per carton. I am thoroughly disgusted with the changes as will other loyal consumers. These changes have forced me to look for other products. If this product does not revert back to the original you have lost me forever.

NO NO NO To pull cap top

published

My staple beer for years but will be no longer since the introduction of the pull cap top. Cut finger and spillage when try to open. Ridiculous idea to change from easy screw top. I have already changed to recently introduced Coopers Dry which is a nice drop and no pull cap top.

Rip off

published

What a disaster cub. A stupid ring top and now a 330 ml. What a rip off you've lost another carlton dry customer. Changing beers.

Ring Pulls fail and smaller size

published

Ring pulls are a pain to use and open without spilling, nearly 2 stubbies less per carton with reduced size, cans are selling out now at my botllo's.

Was a great beer until you mucked up and stuck a pull cap on it

published

The beer is good.
I am now exploring alternatives because of the ring pull top.
As you pull the cap off it cuts your finger is this intentional?

still a great tasting beer

published

after watching the video on Carlton's Dry facebook page on how to remove the ring pull, put it into practice and quite like the ring pull and above all, its still a great tasting beer

Bye Bye Carlton Dry

published

Been my first choice for years, lost me for two reasons. First the smaller bottle and i too think the taste has changed for the worse. Two i have cut myself too many times since the dangerous “ring pull” was introduced, unfortunately not all people are responsible enough to put the sharp cap in a bin, wont that be great when people step on it or my grand kids land on one, thumbs down CUB.

Fail Fail Fail

published

Just went and bought my weekly carton of Carlton Dry, so now the bottle is 25ml smaller and $3 dollars a carton more are you guys kidding and the ring pul what a fail well Carlton i just bought my last carton and wont be buying again it was my favourite beer but no more time for a change and it also tastes different, just dudding us again and im pretty sure christmas sales will prove it my rant done never again Carlton.

Ditch the ring pull and give back the 25ml

published

A really, really, really, bad idea to go to ring pulls. I tried to get used to it and bought two cases. First time cut my finger. Still can't open easily. Always having to hold the bottle carefully to pull without too much pressure to avoid spilling. Please go back to the old bottle and twist top. If not I will be finding another favourite beer. Cheers (I hope)

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.
