Lidl Beer?

pancake_tuesday

Whats the best beer to buy in Lidl thats relativly cheap? Bottle or cans.

rubadub

Perlenbacher is 500ml bottles, 6 for €7. Tyskie is on offer at the moment, 500ml polish beer, think €1.69 a bottle. Cans of grafenwalder are €1.13 I think, and are nice too.

Bottom of the barrel is excelsior, 4 cans for €3.45 I think. Has unusual side effects

pancake_tuesday

Thanks Perlenbacher seems like a good one. Be sure to stay well away from excelsior!:D

I was in Lidl Friday night getting a few Tyskie (€1.79 a bottle and worth every penny)

They had Staropramen alright, didn't see the price tag on them tho

Even better! Spotted Franziskaner for sale on Sunday €1.99 a bottle.
Best by a mile

Cool! About time Lidl got some proper German beer in.Aldi always have a good selection and are
still selling Spaten Helles at €1.99.

pa990

Staropramen is €1.99

fobster

Tyskie beats Staropramen by a country mile imo.

This is often 5 for €10 in O'Briens these days, as is budvar.

IrishWhiskeyCha

Just noticed this thread and I have happened to get some Franziskaner weissbier in Lidl today. And yes it is €1.99 ... All stocked up for the match tomorrow


Edit ... had to try it tonight just in case it would not do for tomorrow night

Not bad ... has a touch of that clove taste that I love in certain Wheat beers. Nice initial taste but it seems a bit light in the finish i.e. it does not seem to last as long as I thought it should but I am no beer expert.

ENjoyable though and I am not dissappointed

Yeah, I'd agree with that assessment. Schneider Weisse is the next step up, IMO. I can get it for just 61c more in Superquinn and I reckon it's worth it.

PWEI

I actually find that taste of Schneider Weisse very disappointing.
Just my opinion but I find it lacks the flavour of other typical hefe beers.
It instantly loses it's head and I also find it more carbonated than other weissbeers.Its very smooth and drinkable but I don't think it's a step up from Franziskaner. Different strokes for different folks I suppose!

Is Franziskaner still for sale in Lidl? I stopped into buy some earlier - no sign.

Seems to be gone from my local Lidl for the past week and a half it's one of the only beers I like too.

Jordan Berbatov

cannot emphasise this enough STAY AWAY FROM EXCELSIOR. Stupidly bought 48 cans for oxegen last year, never ever again.

pa990

seems to a shortage of Franzikaner in both lidl and aldi.
No sign of it in aldi, and i picked up the last 10bottles in lidl., at a bargain 1.69 per bottle

Controversial!

PWEI

Franzikaner was only sold in Lidl not Aldi,Aldi sell Spaten.
Most good off licences sell Franzikaner,saw it in Sweeney's in Glasnevin on Friday for €9.99 for five bottles. The Lord Mayor's Pub in Swords have an off licence and they were selling it for €8.65 for five bottles which is the cheapest I've seen it anywhere.

Redmonds have this deal on Fransiskaner, Staropramen, Warsteiner, 1791 and a few other 500ml bottles, pick any 5 for €10

Don't bother with the Franziskaner. O'Briens are doing 5 bottles of Erdinger Urwisse for 10 lids. Kwalitee.

Pixelcraft

but Franziskaner is a far better wheat beer!

pa990

no joy in any of the lidl's in cork for Franz.

i'll have to revert to aldi's schofenhoffen (?¿)

Henry Ford III

Fine Wines in Limerick are doing a new weiss beer called Valentin. €7 for 4 1/2 litre bottles on special order currently.

It's good too.

Heavy on the stomach?

+1 with pixelcraft

i wonder is the lack of Franziskaner and the Hoegaarden never arriving last week related.

BeerNut

Could be: it's the same company. C&C are the distributors here AFAIK.

IrishWhiskeyCha

Hoegaarden 750ml is 3.49 in Tesco at the mo for those watering at the mouth for Lidl to stock it. Still not a bad price if you need a quick fix

PWEI

For the Franziskaner fans in North County Dublin,The Lord Mayor's off licence in Swords still have plenty of it. Got five bottles there last Friday for €8.95.

Valentins is good, but a far heavier tasting beer than Erdinger or Franziskaner. That offer has been on in there for a good while, remember getting some in there a couple of years ago. There's also cans of the stuff, for around €1.60/1.70
