In before the beer snobs..

.. oh wait!

Any recommendations? Might pick up a couple at the weekend.

The Erdinger Dunkel is lovely.
I was in Tescos last night and spotted the new range of beers so I picked up a good selection bottles

I should have read the price news first.

califano · 01-05-2012 11:16am

Krombacker is very good and usually about €3 a bottle.

vicwatson · 01-05-2012 11:45am

What's that Sol Beer like? - it's good value at 10€ for 12 bottles?

Not too far way from Corona..

.. nice with a slice of lemon / lime.

sweetie · 01-05-2012 11:52am

i'll be stocking up on the scneider weisse and O Haras Irish Pale ale. Might try some of those fruit beers too and the belfast lager.

Padraig Mor · 01-05-2012 11:55am

Erdinger Urweisse is meant to be tasty.

fptosca · 01-05-2012 11:59am

Franziskaner is €1.79 per bottle in Tesco and it's one of the best beers I have ever tried.

mikemac1 · 01-05-2012 12:10pm

Six bottles of Grolsch for three euro in Tesco, my local is Ballyfermot

Cracking deal, can't remember a better deal going ever

Stock up

A box of how many? Normally see it in Lidl @ €1.20/1.25 per 500ml bottle

It's normally €1.79 per bottle, but is regularly on offer for €2.50 for 2 bottles.

Wow. that's good. Got a few cases of Grolsch @ 50c a bottle from O'Briens a few years back. It was nearing expiry. Think it might have been my first bargain alert purchase

I meant when it is on offer which it is regularly

BTW Blue Moon is now included in the O'Briens 6 for €10. It is lovely. Small bottles though unlike the others in the offer

Tesco don't know the meaning of the word 'beer' .

It's nothing like Corona. Corona is passable on a hot day. Sol tastes like it was strained through a tramps sock.

Anyway, O'Hara's Irish Pale Ale and Young's Double Chocolate Stout are cracking beers.

You say that like it's a bad thing..

mmmm must see if they have an equivalent deal over here. the price news leaflet is not issued until tomorrow. wouldn't mind stocking up on some cheap bitburger.

They sure are. I'd regularly drink O'Hara's. Easy to make it a preference once you've tried it. The Dice Bar serve the Chocolate Stout which is really nice too.

The Courage brewery might have a certain acquired taste for some, but I've tried their range. The Courage Best bitter is pretty good - a highly rated UK bitter. Same would go for the Directors' strain of beer.

A number of places are doing the 5 for 10euro these days. Places like Deveneys and Redmonds offer a little more choice. But still, this is a decent offer.

sol and corona are so nice you have to serve them really cold and jam a bunch of lemon and lime in them.

well we should be in this thread shouldn't we, after all its a bargain alert about snobby beers!

Berty · 01-05-2012 4:29pm

There are some great offers in Tesco now to be fair on their world beer section and it appears they are actively trying to offer something different to the usual case of this and case of that for half nothing.

Heck I can now buy some of my own products in Tesco cheaper than what I can buy them off myself for. :rolleyes:

The banana bread beer is very nice and the chocolate stout too.

Benny_Cake · 01-05-2012 5:26pm

O'Hara's IPA is great, definitely going to pick up a few bottles of that, and Directors bitter, I have to try that, it is the drink of choice for Alan Partridge after all. Lovely stuff OP!

laros · 01-05-2012 5:33pm

Just in Tullamore and they are stacking the shelves.A lot of the porter house beers are included also sierra nevada pale ale, leann folain, wells bombardier (2 types) Greene King IPA, Clotworthy Dobbin and others from Whitewater brewery and shipyard brewery beers from the US.

Atlantic Dawn · 01-05-2012 5:38pm

Lads I'm anxious to try as many of these beers as I can

, I've not a clue what it recommended. Rather than buy a bottle of each and probably get 50% duds could people post me what they recommend as their top 5 to try, much appreciated. Or should I try all and make up my own mind?

stuchyg · 01-05-2012 5:51pm

Without seeing the full list, Greene King, Any Sierra Nevada Ales and Hop Head by porterhouse are must tries, although the Porterhouse stuff is only €1.89 a bottle in O Briens at regular price.

bladebrew · 01-05-2012 5:59pm

Looks like a good offer but are tesco increasing their range for this promotion

, there are 3 shops near me, (wilton,douglas,mahon) and they have a fairly small range, of the beers pictured they only have 1 in stock!

definetly not 40 different beers, whats happening:eek:

stuchyg · 01-05-2012 6:00pm

just checked out their website and their are very few beers listed, must be an instore only for the full range

Baltica is €1 (or €1.50) per 500ml bottle in Carryout.

Yep. They had only Erdinger in the tesco in Phibsborough this evening. Really hate Tesco off licence to be honest. They don't even have fridges any more, just stacks of boxes of commercial swill lager. You can get 5 bottles of different beers in Sweeneys in Phibsborough any time

laros · 01-05-2012 7:59pm

The Bottles in Tullamore were not stacked in the usual Ales / World beers section. I have a feeling they may be using this as a trial run to maybe increase their range of world beers by stocking the most popular ones after the promotion has ended.

TheDriver · 01-05-2012 8:14pm

had lots in paul st cork today, all the belfast range and o haras etc. Nice to get a sample of everything at 2 euro a bottle
