Brog I think is 3.90 before 9pm then increases then increases again after 11. But you pay for what you get, cheap horrible pints.

Lidl/Aldi for cheap booze, just supply your own glass.

What do you drink?

You'll get the most perfect Beamish of your life in An Bodhran for not much more than 4 euro.

Hogzy

Preachers do a pint of the day everyday for €3.50, Its usually one of the mainstream beers.

Price stays the same for the whole day.

mean gene

bodran 3 quid a fosters before 6- 3.80 other lagers.

Callanans (streetview)

Very cheap Beamish, Murphy's and Heineken. (Nothing else on tap though!).

On a related note, anyone tried that new canadian beer that was brought out recently enough?

grenache

Yeah I second Callanans on George's Quay. Pints of Beamish for €3 - sorted!

Skybox

The Shelbourne on McCurtain Street has happy hour every Friday - €3.50 pints up until 8pm. They also do an offer for their Shelbourne Lager which is 3 pints for €10 for all Premiership soccer games.

Can't remember the name but I had a pint about a week ago. Wasn't to my taste.

Spotted it in the Silver Key, Molson Canadian it's called. The buddy who lived in Vancouver for a couple of years said it's pis$. Their version of Fosters.

Cape Clear

Tourburg & Fosters €3.20 in Hickeys Aherla all day everyday. A grand hospitable spot!

Yeah, it's worse than Budweiser. Like beer flavoured water.

And it has replaced Howling Gale (Co. Cork produced pale ale) in the Sextant, for shame.

That's a disgrace. A quality ale produced by a Cork based company and supporting local jobs, replaced by mass produced yellow fizz that falsely claims to be Canadian.

The Sextant has sold its soul to Molson Coors. Shame on them.

Fuzz McG

Canadian is terrible. Like Coors Light, if you need a taste comparison. Nobody with even a passing liking for beer drinks it over there.

Horgans do €2:50 pints before 7 and I think €3 after it. They are very strict about who they let into the bar though.

Bad pints?

crockholm

Bradleys on Barrack St. were always known as the cheapest pint in Ireland, used to scoff Beamish there till the cows came home,hope it's still open. If not,surely some other pub on the street took up it's mantle.

Bradley's is still going alright, delicious Beamish all the time. Not the cheapest, though it certainly isn't the most expensive.

Na, it's all old people so the stout is as good as you'll get anywhere else.

I thought the Tower Bar (off Barrack St.) had the reputation for the cheapest pints, I don't know if that's true any longer.

The Tower bar is long gone.

That's all apartments now.

the beer revolu

Abbot's Ale House are doing Bitter and Twisted (lovely Scottish golden ale) @ €6.50 a litre and Zlaty Bazant (premium Slovak lager) @ €7 a litre. Usually they have a generic lager for €6 a litre.

Molson Coors also bought out the franciscan well brewery. They will be opening a large scale brewery in Cork to mass produce rebel red etc as well as Coors and Molson.

tbf It isn't falsely claiming it is Canadian. I tried it when I lived in Toronto. absolute ****e though

That was in it's previous incarnation as a rough-and-ready gaff with a 99% male working class clientele who stopped talking and gave you the evil eye (assuming you weren't a local) when you walked in the door. Now it's been gentrified and has a more diverse clientele - prices have risen accordingly.

As far as I recall, The Brog always had the cheapest pints in the city centre but don't know if that is still the case. Quirkies in Ballyphehane often has pints for €3 during televised soccer/rugby/GAA matches. In general, "Old Men" pubs in the working class suburbs are where you will get the cheapest pints.

The Brogs is €5:10 after 11 now. Quirkies is known for drugs.

The Molson we get here is brewed in Burton Upon Trent in Staffordshire. It's no more Canadian than me or you.

and the Heineken we get here is brewed in blackpool and they still call it Dutch

I'm pretty sure nationality of Beers are based on where they were first brewed rather than where it is brewed for international markets. You'd still call Guiness Irish even though most of it's produce is brewed abroad. Ain't cost effective to ship it.

I'm aware of the cost efficiencies, but i still don't think you can say all Heineken is Dutch or all Molson is Canadian. Ditto for Carlsberg, Budweiser and the rest. In Ireland, there are two Heinekens - the pissy weak one brewed at Ladys Well in Blackpool (with Irish water, Irish barley and Irish hops) and the proper 5% one from Amsterdam that some places stock. The Molson that's brewed in England might claim to be Canadian, but at 4%, it's 1% weaker than the real stuff brewed in New Brunswick. Sure a Canadian-American conglomerate own it and pretend its Canadian, but it's not really. Not the stuff we get here anyway.

Ludo

Must be three types of hieneken available so. Only types I have seen are the 4.3% Irish one and the noticeably weaker 3.4% rubbish they make in the UK. Some shops stock that and sell it cheaper than places selling the Irish one. Never noticed the dutch one sold here but then again I don't drink hieneken unless I have to.
