Was in Lidl today. didnt see this offer,

Is there a few variants of the beer, I thought its a wheat beer, which If so, I dont drink, more for everyone else.

.G. · 29-07-2014 7:25pm

This stuff is great, especially at this price!

antodeco · 29-07-2014 8:27pm

theres a few different types, regular, dark, light, alcohol free and Royal (special brew that is actually cr@p) - but all are weissbiers

But the only one I've ever seen on special in Lidl is regular.

sheroman01 · 30-07-2014 2:07pm

Also, from what I recall, they're 500ml

Will be stocking up on these

RayCon · 30-07-2014 2:58pm

Got some today ... very little left in Celbridge

willietherock · 30-07-2014 4:17pm

Don't drink much beer but remembered this thread as I was in Lidl and got eight bottles.

Blankety · 30-07-2014 5:32pm

About 10 boxes in carrickmacross a while ago. No thirsty men around there.....

Stevecw · 30-07-2014 7:10pm

Lidl are really spoiling us these days. First Tyskie now this, great price again for a good beer

zweton · 30-07-2014 7:14pm

just grabbed a box yum yum:D

TheDriver · 30-07-2014 7:56pm

Grabbed 2 boxes, thanks OP.

duckysauce · 30-07-2014 8:54pm

Would these be good beers for making a shandy ? Have a party at the weekend and don't want to spent too much :mad:

excelsior their canned beer is 89cent per 500ml, better value still, not sure how wheat beer responds to that.

mik_da_man · 30-07-2014 11:45pm

Grabbed a box in carrigaline, only one and a bit left

Tasty stuff

paulyg123 · 30-07-2014 11:50pm

Franziskaner is a cloudy wheat beer with a pretty distinctive flavour, I wouldn't say it would work too well in a shandy (and a bit of a waste of a decent beer). As cerastes said probably best to just use a basic larger since you're not really going to taste the difference after mixing it with lemonade anyway.
I picked up 8 bottes in Rathmines earlier, a good few bottles left around 7ish but looks like they had gone though a few boxes.

cerastes · 31-07-2014 12:50am

Add to that, I've just had a can of grafenwalder, its 4.8%, its a Pils, Ive just googled the Pils v Lager, so I now know the difference

.
It was €1.25 per can if the wheat beer doesnt take your fancy, bit of a premium on the excelsior.

I bought a can of each for comparison, I think I had the excelsior before (lager at 3.9%), both are ok, the above Pils is nice.

Better than some of the other bottled beers Ive tried from Lidl/Aldi in the past and a nice quantity, stays cold in the can (in fridge, plus sustains damage).
I didnt take a liking to Zyweic or Tyskie (come to think, not sure if they are sold in Lidl/aldi), Its been a while since I bought bottled beers there, some of the stranger bottled versions are ok and might provide a nice quantity/price but others I havent been too keen on, one called Rheinbacher?, I might do a test again, cant recal what Lech was like. Perlenbacher is ok.

For shandys I think there are trays of small bottles of beer anyway, Lidl even had bottles in at one point that resembled the spitfire/bishops finger bottle in their brand, I recal that being nice but didnt see much of it, cant recal what it was called now.

I prefer darker beers, but its a nice change and cheap too.
Bit trial and error, and some can only be bought as 4 packs so you cant pick and choose one or two which would be nice.

TheDriver · 31-07-2014 9:21am

Lidl stocked the actual spitfire and bishops finger but unfortunately have stopped stocking them. They used to do 2 for 3 on them regularly too

you can mix coke and weissbier and then it becomes a "Negger" (which means what you think it does) - which has to be one of the most politically incorrect names for a drink.

It's amazing how far a thread can go off topic.

its perfectly on topic.

someone wanted to know if you could make a shandy with frankziskaner - and indeed you can - with coke - and its then got a black related nick name.

(some do also do with lemonade, which is called a Russ'n, but whatever thats got to do with russia I dont know)

K.C · 31-07-2014 4:15pm

Larry Bee · 31-07-2014 4:31pm

Ain't never heard of a wheat beer shandy in all my years! Was happy to pick up a case of this in ashbourne today. Another maybe 15 cases on the floor. Will be partaking a little later.

Any idea of the best before on them?

I'm waiting on them to go on deal as close to Xmas as possible so maybe that's this time.

Best before 07/15 on my one.

TheDriver · 09-09-2014 7:46am

Nice price increase....,,

Banjo String · 09-09-2014 8:27am

So they've jumped up by 20%?

Lidl getting wise now too :cool:

Blankety · 09-09-2014 8:39am

Even at €6 for 4 these are much better value and taste than the mainstream can that they have.
Anyone know how to change the title on a thread? I can see blood being drawn at the checkouts as boardies land there expecting to pay €5 for 4

ActingDanClark · 09-09-2014 10:19am

its still a good deal- though it wont taste as nice:D
