Coopers will be the big winner as well as the other smaller brewers.

Everyone has a mate or two ( hi @amBays ) who swears by the WED. I can think of one red-headed bespectacled Port supporter in particular, who is going to have conniptions when he hears the news.

I think it will still be brewed just interstate. Also only 90 job losses...thought it would be in the hundreds

It might taste better with cleaner water

Southwark should be cheaper if its closer to Queensland.
The 5 teaspoons of sugar in every bottle wont have to travel as far

Agreed, I encounter a lot of West End drinkers and the last beer they'd turn to is Coopers or a craft beer. In fact a lot of them have already switched to Great Northern or Superdry if it's cheaper than usual.

When I went to the Doctor after my mishap he was quizzing me on the usual stuff that you lie about.

I asked if I need to make any changes and he replied "Look mate, you drink Adelaide water, whatever you eat or drink after that is irrelevant"

Not just about switching but also about not starting.
