Urgent help needed: Sourcing Iron Maiden Trooper Beer for my terminal brother (NSW)

Hi everyone,
I am writing this because I desperately need some help. My brother is currently battling terminal cancer, and I want to surprise him with a case of the original British Iron Maiden Trooper Beer (Robinsons Brewery). It means the world to him, but unfortunately, it is completely sold out and out of stock across all the major online Australian retailers.
We live in Boambee East, NSW (postcode 2452).
If anyone has an unopened case, a few 4-packs, or even loose bottles sitting in your cellar or garage fridge that you would be willing to sell to me, please let me know. I am more than happy to pay for the beer and any express shipping/courier costs to get it here quickly.
If you are a retailer or distributor and happen to have any emergency sample stock, display cases, or know of a local independent bottle shop that might still have some on the shelves, any leads would mean the world to my family right now.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Unfortunately their Aus distributor lost a heap of UK breweries from their portfolio. Try contacting Empire Liquor sales@empireliquor.com.au and they might be able to share which store purchased. They did tend to sell fast but it is worth a shot.

No worries at all, hope you get lucky. I've asked the joint I worked at a while back and they are sold out. I'll keep an eye out for them down here in Melbourne
