Best beer selection in Galway?

ronnie3585

Where can I find the best selection of foreign beer in Galway?

The Bierhaus and Salthouse are great but I want to fill the fridge so I looking for an off-licence or supermarket.

Harvest was decent but with that gone the only place with any kind of selection is Tesco, which is just okay.

O'Briens (I think thats what its called?) in Galway Shopping Centre has a pretty good selection but its quite expensive IIRC..

Yeah, there's a few in particular that I can't find in Galway.

A bit of Googling found me this - http://www.drinkstore.ie/. They've a wicked selection. Think I'll pay a visit the next time I'm in Dub.

I usually wait til its on special offer in the supermarkets and then buy a few bottles.
When i lived in France my local pub sold it on draught and i was drinking pints one night like i was drinking pints here not knowing its alot stronger.
Not a good idea

If you like the selection in the Salthouse try McCambridges on Shop Street.

Telco have the four pack of 330ml bottles for around €6.50. That's the cheapest I've seen it.

Hmm that not too bad I guess. It's something like 7.50 in Dunnes. When I'm in Paris its so cheap in the supermarkets, like 2.60 for a 75cl bottle of the triple or 9% one.

Has anyone tried Loburg?
Its an excellent beer IMO.
Really crisp

The off license in the Woodquay (I forget the name) is also ok, not a huge selection but they have some nice imports.

pleasant Co.
