suckslikeafox · 16-09-2008 12:29am

I long for the days of Rolling Rock, quality beer

richie_os · 16-09-2008 12:30am

hmmm never heard of that one! where can ya buy it and how much

suckslikeafox · 16-09-2008 12:32am

You cant, thats the problem. Its like its disappeared off the face of the earth. Ive a mate that works in an off-licence and he cant get hold of it either

richie_os · 16-09-2008 12:33am

shame, il stick to the hollandia then

Gabbo57 · 16-09-2008 3:51pm

Used to work for a well known offy chain. As far as i remember Rolling rock was taking of the market in ireland. I used to drink it, lovely beer. I don't know how anyone could drink hollandia/amsterdam though tbf

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

rubadub · 16-09-2008 9:09pm

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.

melekalikimaka · 16-09-2008 9:10pm

Baveria/Pratsky

Oranjeboom.

Fringe · 17-09-2008 2:36pm

Personally would go for Prazsky and Bavaria myself too.

gurramok · 17-09-2008 9:57pm

Lech is pretty good, like a relation of Miller but better

cson · 19-09-2008 10:44pm

Bavaria beats all hands down.

Second only to a Buckfast power hour.

Wurly · 19-09-2008 10:45pm

Tuborg FTW

demanufactured · 20-09-2008 9:55pm

VODKA-MAN · 21-09-2008 12:53pm

cson · 22-09-2008 5:21pm

Slab of Bav only €24 in your local Tesco's.

Although that Warsteiner shoite can be had for €16 for 24 bottles.

moonflower · 22-09-2008 7:59pm

Stevecw · 22-09-2008 8:05pm

Many drinkers didn't even notice the snakes reduced it.

So what's the minimum acceptable ABV of beer for manly men?

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.

somethingwitty · 20-10-2008 10:04pm

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.

Raiser · 21-10-2008 12:53pm

:eek: Why the fcuk hasn't Tyskie been mentioned here? Beautiful beer, strong as an Ox at 5.4% and very reasonably priced.....

- Try it right now and just thank me later.

bandit197 · 21-10-2008 1:01pm

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!

bambam · 21-10-2008 1:41pm

+1 for warsteiner

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

somethingwitty · 21-10-2008 2:07pm

: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!

lmtduffy · 21-10-2008 5:12pm

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

nick23 · 21-10-2008 6:12pm

Only problem with that is the fact that i live in Dublin

Only seen it in bottle so far here and i only ever buy it when i have money to burn i.e. after payday!

Podge2k7 · 21-10-2008 6:16pm

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

OpenEnded · 23-10-2008 9:46am

Prazsky ftw imo!

funktastic · 23-10-2008 8:24pm

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 !

BraziliaNZ · 24-10-2008 7:54am

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:

Best cheap beer?
