Thanks for the help guys. Unfortunately I'm unable to just buy a six-pack here and send it over there as Australia Post doesn't allow it. I've asked around and no matter how well you pack the bottles, Fed-Ex and those methods always manage to break some.

Also the online sites all appear to have a minimum of 24 bottles, averaging more than 50 British pounds, which is twice as much as it costs here, and that doesn't count shipping and handling of a slab of beer. Turns out this would be much more expensive than I anticipated.

My only other option is to get a friend of a friend who lives there to buy it themselves and somehow pay them back, but that's a rather half-assed Christmas present so I'll think of something else. Thanks anyway!
