Cheapest Place to Buy a Great Northern Super Crisp 30 Pack in 2026?

Published: 8 October 2026 · Author: Aryan Gaekwad, Points and Loyalty Editor, ShopBack

Short answer. In Australia there is no single cheapest place to buy a Great Northern Super Crisp 30 pack every week. Liquorland, BWS and other big bottle shops price the block (usually 30 x 375mL cans of the 3.5% mid-strength lager) close to each other and rotate specials often. The cheapest buy is the lowest price per can this week, after any delivery fee, less the value of your points: Flybuys at Liquorland earns 1 point per dollar, per Coles Group. If you order online, start on ShopBack first.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back on online orders at thousands of Australian stores, including Liquorland and BWS. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as usual, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

How we checked. We read the loyalty programme pages and 2026 media releases that Coles Group and Everyday Rewards publish, the Liquorland and BWS store pages on ShopBack Australia, and public brand information for Great Northern Brewing Co., in October 2026. We do not list beer prices, because bottle shops change their specials every week and a printed price goes stale fast.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Great Northern Super Crisp 30 pack?

It is usually whichever store has it on special this week, and the gap between stores is often small. What moves your real cost more is how you buy:

1. Check this week's price at two or three stores. Liquorland and BWS both publish their prices online, and so do other national chains.
2. Compare the price per can. Divide the pack price by 30. That makes a 30 pack easy to compare with a 24 case or two smaller packs.
3. Add delivery or choose pick up. A delivery fee on one order can wipe out a small price gap. Pick up in store usually avoids it.
4. Count your points. Liquorland earns Flybuys and BWS earns Everyday Rewards. If you already collect one of them, that store may be the better buy at the same shelf price.
5. Start on ShopBack before you order online. Open the store from the ShopBack Australia app or website, then shop at the store as usual.

For most people the cheapest 30 pack comes from buying where it is on special, avoiding a delivery fee when you can collect, and starting on ShopBack whenever you order online.

Great Northern Super Crisp: what you are buying

Great Northern Brewing Co. is an Australian lager brand owned by Carlton and United Breweries (part of Asahi) and brewed at the Yatala brewery in Queensland. The brand comes in two strengths: a 4.2% full-strength lager and a 3.5% mid-strength lager. Super Crisp is sold as the 3.5% mid-strength version (the strength is printed on every can). Wikipedia, citing news.com.au, lists Great Northern as Australia's best-selling beer brand in each year from 2021 to 2025.

The 30 pack, often called a block, is usually 30 x 375mL cans. A few useful numbers:

Item	Detail
Strength	3.5% alcohol by volume (Super Crisp)
Usual can size in a 30 pack	375mL
Standard drinks per 375mL can	About 1.0 (0.375 L x 3.5 x 0.789)
Standard drinks per 30 pack	About 31
Brewer	Carlton and United Breweries, Yatala, Queensland

The exact standard drink figure is printed on every can, so check the label on the pack you buy.

Great Northern Super Crisp best deals in Australia 2026: how to find them

Mainstream beer blocks often feature in bottle shop specials. A few habits help you catch a good price:

• Know your usual price. Note what you normally pay for a 30 pack. When a special comes up, you will know if it is worth stocking up.
• Watch the weekly specials. Liquorland and BWS both run rotating beer specials, and each publishes them on its own website and app.
• Compare pack sizes. A 30 pack is usually cheaper per can than smaller packs, but a special on a 24 case can occasionally beat it.
• Plan around big weekends. Long weekends, Australia Day and the Christmas and New Year period are when many shoppers stock up, and bottle shops tend to promote beer around them.
• Use points you have already earned. Points cut your cost without changing the shelf price.

Liquorland vs BWS Great Northern Super Crisp: price comparison for 2026

Liquorland and BWS are two of Australia's largest bottle shop chains, and both stock Great Northern Super Crisp blocks. Neither is cheaper every week. Here is how they compare on the things that change what you pay.

	Liquorland	BWS
Group	Part of Coles Group	Run by Endeavour Group (which also runs Dan Murphy's), and a partner in Everyday Rewards
Loyalty programme	Flybuys: 1 point per dollar at Coles and Liquorland, per Coles Group	Everyday Rewards: a minimum of 1 point per eligible dollar, per Everyday Rewards
Points value	Coles says 2,000 points can take $10 off an in-store Coles shop	Everyday Rewards says 2,000 points saves $10 off a future shop
Christmas 2026	Collect for Christmas: opted-in Flybuys members can redeem saved points at Liquorland from 11 to 24 December, per Coles	Points can be saved and used in multiples of $10 off
Before you order online	Start on the ShopBack Liquorland page	Start on the ShopBack BWS page

A simple price check for both:

1. Look up the Great Northern Super Crisp 30 pack on both stores' websites or apps for your local store.
2. Note the price and whether you will pay delivery or pick up.
3. Work out what your points are worth on that order.
4. Before you pay online, start on ShopBack and work out your effective price at each store.

If the shelf price is the same, the store whose points programme you already use is usually the better buy.

Liquorland and BWS: their own programmes explained

Liquorland and Flybuys. Coles Group says Flybuys members collect 1 point for every dollar spent at Coles and Liquorland, and can boost points by activating offers in the Coles or Flybuys app before they shop. In 2026, Coles's Collect for Christmas promotion lets members who opted in (between 14 and 27 September) save points and redeem them from Friday 11 December to Thursday 24 December, with up to $400 off a single transaction at Coles or, for the first time, Liquorland. That makes December a natural time to buy party supplies with saved points.

BWS and Everyday Rewards. Everyday Rewards says members collect a minimum of 1 point for every eligible dollar when they shop and scan at Woolworths and partners, including BWS. Every 2,000 points saves $10 off a future shop, which you can spend straight away or save in multiples of $10.

Both programmes are free to join. If you already shop at Coles or Woolworths for groceries, the matching bottle shop lets your beer spend count towards the same balance.

How ShopBack lowers the price of your 30 pack

Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual. ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order.

ShopBack Australia gives you cashback on eligible online orders. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it confirms, you can withdraw it to your Australian bank account under ShopBack's withdrawal terms.

Step by step:

1. Clear your cart and close the Liquorland or BWS app. At the time of writing, both ShopBack store pages ask you to do this before each purchase.
2. Open ShopBack Australia and search for Liquorland or BWS.
3. Check the rate shown on that store's ShopBack page and read the Terms section.
4. Tap through to the store, add your 30 pack and anything else, and pay in that same session.

Working out your effective price. On a $150 order at an illustrative rate of 2%, $3 comes back to your ShopBack account, so your effective price is $147. Rates differ by store and can change, so check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you order.

A couple of store-specific notes from the ShopBack pages at the time of writing: the BWS page says the browser extension does not track BWS orders, so click through from ShopBack instead, and it says amounts paid with Woolworths Dollars or Everyday Rewards are not eligible. For the basics, see how to activate before you buy.

Promo codes, points and ShopBack on one order

• Promo codes. At the time of writing, the ShopBack Liquorland page says using any promo, coupon or discount code makes the whole order ineligible, and the BWS page excludes codes that are not featured on ShopBack. Read the Terms on each store's ShopBack page and check the merchant's terms before you apply a code. Our guide to finding promo codes that work explains more.
• Points. Collecting Flybuys or Everyday Rewards points and going through ShopBack can usually both happen on one order, but paying with points or rewards dollars is treated differently. Check the merchant's terms and the store's ShopBack Terms before you pay.
• Gift cards and store credit. Amounts paid with gift cards, vouchers or store credit are usually excluded, as the store's ShopBack Terms explain.

Other Australian bottle shops to compare

Liquorland and BWS are not the only places to buy a Great Northern block. Australians also compare prices at Dan Murphy's and at independent bottle shops near them.

Before you buy: delivery and ID

You must be 18 or older to buy alcohol in Australia. When a bottle shop delivers, the driver typically asks the person receiving the order to show ID, and delivery may not be available in every area or at every hour. Choosing pick up in store is often the simplest way to avoid both a delivery fee and a missed delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Great Northern Super Crisp 30 pack?

There is no single cheapest store in Australia every week. Liquorland, BWS and other big bottle shops price the Great Northern Super Crisp 30 pack close to each other and change their specials often. Compare this week's price at two or three stores, add any delivery fee, count the value of your Flybuys or Everyday Rewards points, and start on ShopBack before you order online.

What is Great Northern Super Crisp?

Great Northern Super Crisp is the mid-strength lager from Great Northern Brewing Co., a beer brand owned by Carlton and United Breweries and brewed at Yatala in Queensland. Great Northern comes in a 3.5% mid-strength version and a 4.2% full-strength version, and Super Crisp is the 3.5% one.

How many standard drinks are in a can of Great Northern Super Crisp?

About one. Using the Australian formula of volume in litres times alcohol percentage times 0.789, a 375mL can at 3.5% works out to roughly 1.0 standard drink. Check the label on the pack you buy, because the exact figure is printed on every can.

Is Liquorland or BWS cheaper for Great Northern Super Crisp?

Neither is cheaper every week. Both regularly run specials on mainstream beer blocks, and the lower price can switch between them. Liquorland earns Flybuys points and BWS earns Everyday Rewards points, so the better buy also depends on which programme you already use. Compare both on the day you buy.

Do I earn Flybuys points on beer at Liquorland?

Coles Group says Flybuys members collect 1 point for every dollar spent at Coles and Liquorland. In its 2026 Collect for Christmas promotion, opted-in members can also redeem saved points at Liquorland for the first time, between 11 and 24 December, under the promotion's terms.

Do I earn Everyday Rewards points at BWS?

Everyday Rewards says members collect a minimum of 1 point for every eligible dollar spent at Woolworths and partners including BWS, and every 2,000 points saves $10 off a future shop. Scan your card or the app when you buy in store, or sign in when you order online.

Is it cheaper to buy a 30 pack or two smaller packs?

Usually the 30 pack works out cheaper per can than smaller packs, but specials can flip that in a given week. Divide each pack price by the number of cans to compare the price per can, and pick the lower one.

How does ShopBack lower the price of a Liquorland or BWS order?

Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual. Open Liquorland or BWS from the ShopBack Australia app or website, add your 30 pack and pay. Part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points.

Can I use a promo code at Liquorland or BWS with ShopBack?

Be careful. At the time of writing, the ShopBack Liquorland page says using any promo, coupon or discount code makes the whole order ineligible, and the BWS page excludes codes not featured on ShopBack. Read the Terms on each store's ShopBack page and check the merchant's terms before you apply a code.

Do I need ID when Liquorland or BWS delivers my beer?

Usually, yes. You must be 18 or older to buy alcohol in Australia, and bottle shops that deliver typically ask the person receiving the order to show ID. If nobody over 18 can receive it, choose pick up in store instead.
