Corporate greed

published

Carlton dry was my fav, till corporate greed took over, costs more for less beer and does not taste as good, kinda flat in my opinion and that stupid ring pull that occasionally breaks and also very sharp and dangerous. Goodby cub hello ted.

A great beer

published

Love this beer. This is my beer. Not keen on the pull tops, keep slicing finger. Please bring back screw tops.

January 6th 2022 Update: Pull tops



Used to the pull tops now. Great taste and always as usual the best beer. Have tried others but always go back to Carlton dry!

Ripped off

published

Who is the moron executive that thought (hey lets put a ring pull top on the bottle and reduce the bottle size and the amount of beer charge more and people will not notice) fire him and go back to what people like. Fair dinkum we're not idiots...

Bottleshop staff's Worst Nightmare

published

Working in a bottle'o all I keep hearing is ...why? Carlton Dry stubs were the second highest seller after Emu Export cans, now Great Northern mid stubs have taken that illustrious honor...yes, replaced by a mid strength...cause that at least has a proper bottle top! The new bottles are way too easy to accidentally rip open the top when restocking. Just a stupid idea all round. Listen to your customers CUB or you will loose them!

Bye bye BEER

Been buying this beer religiously for donkeys years and don't particularly dislike the ring top, but feel thoroughly ripped by the brewer by taking the 25ml off me. So bye bye Carlton Dry....

Ruin the cap, ruin the taste.

I've drank this beer with a passion for years. Now I lose half my stubby all over the floor wrestling with a stupid ring top designed for cans, pasted on top of a miniature glass stubby. It also tastes suspiciously watery. Me thinks they also messed with the contents while vandalizing the lid.
Good bye Carlton dry. Our long term love affair just got too hard.

Not the same

published

Smaller stubbies and doesn't taste the same, had some twist tops and new rip tops and definitely different. Going to drink something else not made by CUB to express my disappointment.

Carlton Dry ‘ring pull’

published

HA HA! Well done CUB, this one is going to cost you like your little VB stunt did. Xmas sales should paint a perfect picture

Great way to lose customers

published

The old simple twist action now has become a three part activity to open the bottle, which includes having to locate the ring pull in the first place, holding the bottle straight, as the pulling motion tips it to the side, and then trying not to cut your finger. My wife cant open them ! Then reducing the volume, what can I say, we are not stupid, we can see its smaller and want the regular size back. Dont fix what is not broke !

What a bloody rip off

published

How can CUB expect to keep customers when they reduce size of stubby by 25 ml and charge same price as well as put on a useless ring pull. They stuffed up VB and lost market share, now they’re doing it with Carlton Dry. I will be going elsewhere. Plenty of beers out there . You are a pack of money hungry fools CUB

Bottle top

published

The new bottle top on the Carlton dry stubbie is terrible!
Why make this change, as I can see someone cutting themselves on the bottle top?

Smaller bottle, same price

published

Pretty much what everyone else have been saying. I did love this beer, but now 330ml and with those stupid pull tops, i think its time for a change.

ruined a good product

published

So disappointed with the reduced size of calton dry and the ridiculous pull top which is very dangerous!!!!
The taste isn't as good will be looking for another if it isn't changed back .
A lot of my mates feel the same, why change what was a good product!!!!

Tasted good but short changed

published

Carlton changed their bottle size when they changed screw top to tab top bottles. In a 24 bottle carton you get 1.7 bottles less for the same price. Retailer said ring Carlton and complain. Carlton said they do not control the price. Doesn't taste as good any more when being ripped off.

Terrible product

published

Alot of people seem to be cutting themselves on the ring pull also reducing the ml's and to top it off the ring will not always pull off leaving me to try and take off the rest of it will probably find another drink to find.

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.
