            Not a lot really. Of course the beer itself is the same - it's just the can.
            I thought of that but decided the extra eight cans could just go into the brewery workers' daily beer allowance. (They still get those don't they?)

              Sorry, I thought about this later - yes, I'm pretty certain they must mean 5000 slabs.

              As for the comment about the beer being the same - ask yourself whether you'd like to drink Veuve from a crystal glass or a plastic cup? I think the analogy is directly relevant.

                Found some at Safeway Ferntree Gully

                And it tastes better than normal.

                Much better

                    Keep in mind that probably more than 50% of the special edition beer sold will be to non Swans fans who just want beer.

                    The only way the retailers get the special edition is if the order Carlton Draught in the right time frame and that is the stock they will recieve instead of the normal stock.
                    They can't request it, it's just what they get when they order.

                    So most people who buy it won't GAF and just drink it and throw the cans.

                    I'm saving a couple of unopened slabs for ebay

                      I think most Safeway's have got it down here.

                                Finally!

                                Found some yesterday at Gladstone Park (North West Melbourne) was rapt as I didn't expect to find any left in Melbourne. Now who was saying they had saved their empty cans - You'd reckon the full slab could be worth something alot more one day - Only problem is I probably wouldn't sell - Someone else eventually would reap the benefits.
