Bargain Alert - Hommel !!!

the beer revolu

For all the beeries in and around Cork;

The Abbott's Ale House have out of date Hommelbier (7.5% abv) 6 50cl bottles for €10.

It's out of date since December last year but I reckon it's just reaching maturity now and I'd predict that it's good for a year at least. I just bought 60 bottles!

For anyone who doesn't know this beer, it's a Belgian, very hoppy ale from Popperings in Watou. It's quite pale and is bottle conditioned. It's a fantastic party beer and oh, so hoppy but not like an American beer. There are a few 'Belgian pale ales' knocking around now (la Chouffe do one) but my theory is that Hommel is the original!

I recommend this beer highly - especially at 6 for €10 !!

Arrived in the shop on Friday out of date.
Can't say I'm complaining, though - it's drinking great and is cheap as chips!!

Fantastic beer.. a bit like duvel.. but cheaper.. a lot cheaper.

They seemed to have plenty of it in the shop, might pick up another bottle or two tomorrow.

Couldn't wait.. i rushed out and bought a case.. 20x50cl..

picked up another case of it today..

it is a great beer.. worth twice the price.
I'm almost tempted to get a 3rd case (i'm a sucker for a bargain)
But i'm saving my money for the Oktoberfest beers in ALDI on thurs
