AZPete just found out the reason why we've been having problems finding our beloved Baron's Black Wattle Seed Ale from Australia in the stores: they are no longer exporting the beer to the US.

This is awful awful news.

Having never drank pee water to compare.......I would not know.............you most likely have not seen an Aussie beer, let alone taste one out in the middle of BFE.

And no reason was given...

Not much help now but hope for the future.
Perhaps an email campaign from your end may help .

Hi Steve,

Yes that is in fact correct. Unfortunately we’ve stopped exporting to the United States for the moment but hope to start again in the next 6-12 months. We appreciate your mates support and are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Chelsea

Hi,
I know a chap in Panama City Florida USA, who is a big fan of the Baron's Black Wattle Seed Ale.
He has been having trouble finding it and was told you are no longer exporting this beer to the USA.
Is this correct and is there any way he can get more supplies.
Thanks,
Steve Cunningham

Here's a thought.....your on an AIR FORCE BASE.......send a plane down under and drag some back. Everyone knows all the pilots do is travel on the weekends.
