Tesco - world beers - any 5 for €10

Ruben Remus

If being a "beer snob" means refusing to drink tasteless yellow fizz, then I will proudly wear that badge.

I'm generally not a fan of Tesco but must admit that this is a very good promotion.

I haven't tried all of the beers on the offer but of those that I have, my favourites would be:

- Goose Island IPA (exceptional value at 1.50 a bottle)
- Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (ditto)
- Porterhouse Hop Head
- Porterhouse Wrasslers XXX stout
- O'Hara's Pale Ale
- O'Hara's Leann Follain.

Add Clothworthy Dobbin to that, tried it last night and had a lovely taste.

Cheers. I haven't tried it yet, but will pick up a bottle or two while this deal is on.

Yep, it's part of this here promotion. Tesco have it, plus some other American beers, and the Porterhouse bottles, on sale for €1.50. There's also a wide range of 500ml bottles (mostly English and Irish ales) at 5 for a tenner, and six-packs of Sam Adams for €8

No sign of Goose Island or Sierra Nevada in Wilton or Mahon Point.

Great stuff, I'll be buying a box of these if I can!

I was just at my local Tesco (Naas) and the selection of world beers and craft beers is identical to that of last week (Fullers, O'Haras, Hobgoblin, Speckled Hen etc) - although they were 5 for a tenner. So either the offer was very successful, or they didn't get a delivery, or they didn't stock the shelves. I managed to pick up some O'Haras Pale Ale and Leann Follain so it's not the end of the world, but given it's supposed to be Ireland's largest Tesco it was a little disappointing.

my ol doll wouldn't know the difference between dutch gold and o'haras......full shelf of carling is a world beer sale to her!

Paid a trip to Tesco Dun Laoghaire today to stock up on SV & Goose Island at 1.50 a bottle. No sign of either

Slydice

Note, the reason O'Haras regular stout and ale don't appear is that they seem to be cheaper at €1.79 a bottle

I asked a fella that was doing the stock in the beer aisle and he said he was to get all the world beers last night but non of it came in. He said he was ringing head office today to see where they are as he wanted some himself.

Cheers, picked up some in Tesco Roscommon, was basically O' Haras, Erdinger and large bottles of Tiger.

Tesco in Bloomfields Dun laoghaire has Erdinger Kristal in the deal picked up a

case today for alittle over 25 euro, a bargain and the nicest of all the Erdinger range IMO.

chickey

big selection in Wexford - seperate from usual O'Hara's area - got belfast balck stout, youngs double chocolate stout, harvest pale ale, bombadier burningh gold ale and an o'haras. lots of porterhouse stuff and some weiss beer

fat bloke

I went to Tesco in the Square today. They didn't have any Asahi, which I kind of wanted, but they had lots of other stuff. Plenty of other beers not mentioned/included on the flier posted above, but which were included in the 5 for 10 euro. There was one there (Baltijos) which was listed as 5 euro a bottle (!) and they're in the deal too, which is potentially a tenner for 25 euro worth of beer. -I'm drinking one now, and it's pretty darn good

These along with most (if not all) of the Porterhouse range are available in Celbridge for €1.50 per bottle ..... decisions, deecisions ....

I popped in to Tesco Douglas and got 10 different beers, mainly ales and some stout. I was like a kid when I got home, lining them up in the kitchen to show the missus...she did not share my excitement however

They rarely do, thankfully my missus loves a good stout

run_Forrest_run

of the ones I got I'm dying to try Wells Banana Bread Beer, Youngs Double Chocolate Stout, Clotworthy Dobbin and O'Hara's Leann Folláin and O'Hara's Pale Ale.

Wizzy2011

Any beer snobs try any Pliny beers? Probably the best beers I've ever tasted, but a tad expensive. As for this Tesco lot, I'd say the Young's Double Choc or Wells' Banana Bread are a must to try, regardless of your preference of alcohol

I might get some Krombacher in, great beer and you get a good head off it in a pint glass.

muchacho

Wells Banana Bread Beer is quite possibly the nicest beer i've ever had!
