    Bavaria is a well made lager - not bad at all for the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,386 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    Warsteiner is €1 a bottle most places, and sometimes cheaper by the box, and staropramen when it is out for €1 a bottle which is rarer now. Pravsky is alright- think it is made by staropramen too. Bottles of heineken can be got for €1 or less a lot of the time too now.

    There are a few amsterdam ones, amsterdam mariner is the "premium" one, and is only 4.2% and the same price as the green can which is 5% and is a worse taste.

    5% of course, do you know nothing??

    I was only messing, but they did change it and it went un-noticed by many, price remained the same though they use less ingredients and there is less duty on it now too.

    I love drinking low % beers, I remember in China downing 1 or 2% beers all day long, couldnt get too drunk and stay nicely hydrated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 173 ✭✭somethingwitty


    What the **** is up with all the people going for Bavaria??!! That stuff is disgusting! I makes me feel hungover before I get drunk!

    Stella has to be number one;) I would choose that beer over any other.
    Dutch Gold is also not a bad beer for the price either:)

    I don't get too bad a head on it, but it has to be the no.1 beer I hear people complaining about for hangovers.

    thats because its not a cheap beer,its 2.50 in some place for a bottle of it,2 euro for a can!:)

    it is my favourite beer,and its 5.6% not 5.4%:pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 907 ✭✭✭bandit197


    Dutch gold is ok but it needs to be ice cold! Gonna try bavaria tonight as its got a good few mentions here.

    wow, just goes to show how we're all made differently.

    Stella is something I simply will not drink (unless it's Belgian Stella) for hangover reasons. I have to admit that I haven't drunk enough Bavaria to really test the hangover quotient, it doesn't taste bad and anyone who could be arsed reading my blog, when I could be arsed writing it, will know that Bavaria is a pretty environmentally friendly beer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 597 ✭✭✭bambam


    +1 for warsteiner

    tasty and very easy on the head the next day (relatively speaking of course)

    :DStella, tis an aquired taste...
    I just think it has this really unique taste to it and at first I hated it and then I just started to love it. And it gets you hammered, but if you drink enough of it you blank out, not in the same way as you do when you drink any other alcoholic beverage in excess though...
    tubourg also goes down easy

    God i love oranjeboom. Had it when i was in amsterdam over the summer but i havent been able to find it since.

    Fav cheap beer has to be Dutch or Tuborg. As for polish beers i have to go for Zywiec. I know its not cheap buts its still delicious!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 512 ✭✭✭lmtduffy


    The GPO off licence in Galway has it for €5 for 4 cans,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭nick23


    Only problem with that is the fact that i live in Dublin :D
    Only seen it in bottle so far here and i only ever buy it when i have money to burn i.e. after payday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭Podge2k7


    Bavaria FTW!!!:D:D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 95 ✭✭OpenEnded


    Prazsky ftw imo!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 551 ✭✭✭funktastic


    Rolling Rock was nice in the bottles when you could get them for €1.
    I remember the day I got 24 cans of Cobra for €24. Quality. Never saw Cobra cans again after that promotion.
    Bavaria and Prazky would be my favourite cheap ones.

    Rolling Rock is sold in Londis in Mervue in Galway.

    A euro a bottle, cant go wrong !

    lolz @ people thinking Rolling Rock is a good beer. I drink Amsterdam, Oetinger, and sometimes Hollandia down here in Oz. The cheap euro beers taste way better than the horrible ozzy beers. If you want a good beer down here you have to buy the premium ones like Crown and James Boags. When I go back home I'll be all over the cheap beers like bavaria etc., I had some kind of snobbery about them.
    Stella in Ireland is English brewed and horrible, hangovers are mental off it. It's quite good in belgium though.

    Orangeboom was the biz in Holland. I can still get it back up North and although I still like it its a BUL, made by InBev in Luton. Like how far away is Holland from Luton FFS!!!:mad:
