    The Bull & Castle stocks it, so I'm sure it's out there. If not, the B&C does takeaway beers too.

    There were large cans of it in Happy's News and Booze in Blackpitts a year ago. No idea if it's still there. It's ****e.

    One of the american lager giants from the mid west. That gained favour with hipster as it was/is usual one of the cheapest American pilsners and it also count-count culture to drink a blue collar beer.

    Sweeneys might have it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 998 ✭✭✭laros


    AFAIK Molloys in clonsilla stock 12 packs of the bottles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭poitinstill


    in cork anyway they have it in supervalue in ballincollig. not sure if its a country wide thing or not ion sv's. Either way its pure muck. it was 10 for 12 bottles or something cheap anyway when i saw it and i still wasnt tempted.

    The only tip I'd give is to try a nice beer. PBR is woeful.

    Anyone knows where PBR is sold recently in Dublin? Ideally cans.

    It doesn’t seem to be available in Ireland at the moment. Distribution issues.

    Thank you for the information - am a bit surprised to hear that because of https://www.newstalk.com/news/cc-signs-distribution-deal-with-iconic-us-beer-company-625680

    I have been to Sweeneys, Tesco Phibsborough, another off licence in Phibsborough, O'Briens in Glasnevin and none have it. :(

    The article is 4 years old, if a beer doesn't shift (and there would've been a lot of stock to shift) then it's quickly dropped. PBR hasn't been imported since then, I'd say only 1 or 2 shipments were taken before C&C realised it wasn't going to work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,533 ✭✭✭bennyineire


    Honestly it's just another bland tasteless American lager, in a blind taste test you wouldn't be able to tell the differ between it and Budwieser
