    Tried their Ennis Road Limerick shop for Franziskaner earlier - no joy.

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

    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.

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

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

    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

    Fine Wines party store (Ballysimon) has a 24 x 500ml cans of Valentin for an incredible €24 and change :D

    Didn't like the Goldings at all. 4-4-2 is new. Funny, during the last World Cup Greene King used that name for their seasonal beer.

    Does not sound Promising but maybe something inline with spitfire which I find a bit bland... I'll have to give it a go anyway but I'll just plumb for just one and maybe get a few of the 4-4-2 and hope for the best. €1.49 is excellent for any beer.

    Just spotted some of these beer deals in the Lidl leaflet there.

    4-4-2 sounds interesting supposedly brewed with 10 hop varieties??:confused:

    Didnt like the Goldings at all last time. I find most of the Shepards neame beer a little samey.

    Franziskander @ €1.49 per bottle:Good, everyday weiss -very good value at that price.

    Shepherd Neane Gouldings Summer Ale @ €1.49 per bottle: not tried it but others here seem to not like it - maybe stay clear!

    Shepherd Neane 4-4-2 Hop Beer @ €1.49 per bottle Sounds interesting - probably worth a punt and if you like it, stock up!

    Moretti Larger @ €5.99 per 4x330ml pack Pretty ordinary lager - nothing particularly anything about it. Cheaper lagers around.

    Savanna Dry Cider @ €1.99 per 500ml bottle Despite its name, this is a pretty sweet cider. Tastes like it's made from French Golden Delicious type apples rather than cider apples. Not my thing at all but lots of people love it!

    The closest beer I'd liken Moretti to is Sam Adams; it's a little more malted than Adams and is a grand mid week beer if you want to slop out and take it handy with minimum fuss.
