    Hi I'm going to few music festivals and I'm looking to possibly stock up on cans of Hobgoblin, Spitfire, Wells Bombardier, London Pride or similar ales. Tesco have all these on offer in the Uk at the moment. Does anywhere in Ireland stock these? I know Tesco Ireland had Hobgoblin 440ml on offer last year.

    Any help appreciated! :)

    Drinkstore has a few Brewdog cans, as well as some American ales usually.

    Molloy's in Clonsilla had some Spitfire a couple of weeks back. They may have them at an outlet closer to you.

    I have not been there in a few months but Molloys on Francis Street,Dublin 8 usually has Hobgoblin and Old Speckled Hen in cans and on occasion I have seen cans of London Pride. They're in the fridge at the back. Maybe give them a call to see if they still stock them.

    Have seen Hobgoblin cans in O'Briens in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, though price didn't strike me as great (can't recall the exact price). Can only presume other locations would also stock it.

    Supervalu on the quays sometimes have canned bitters.

    London Pride apart - a good beer - you could get pretty close with the cans of Bass they sell in Tesco.

    I've seen some of the English cans in the Off Licence at Rathgar cross roads. Drinkstore sometimes has them though I didn't see any in there yesterday.

    O'Briens in Beacon had cans of hobgoblin, Sierra Nevada and Brewdog recently.

    I've seen Fuller's London Pride in Tesco Dundrum a few times (haven't been in recently).

    Cellar in Blackrock has cans of Brewdog and (I think) Sierra Nevada.

    The off-license on the corner beside Tesco in Phibsboro has cans of Hobgoblin presently. They're kind of pricey at around €2.50 each though and are 440ml cans. But it's one of the more expensive off-licenses in the general vicinity.

    The Aldi in Ashbourne has bottles of Hobgoblin. I forgot to check if they have cans also. Maybe check your local Aldi.
