Best deals on craft beer?

Jfla

Hi Everyone,

With Christmas rapidly approaching I'm looking at buying lots of craft beer to get me through the Christmas. We are the best deals to be had? I'm only aware of the 6 for 5 at superquinn. What do you all do? Is it worth a trip to the north?

Thanks in advance!

Drinkstore do bulk buy rates.

Only applies if you buy multiples of a specific beer though.

Dunnes are doing 4 for €10 on about a dozen different beers, Tesco seeded to have stopped there 3 for €7 deal with only the O Hara's on offer atm.

if its bulk you want head to aldi and get lashings of the o'sheas red/stout/pale ale 1.79 a bottle thats 5.58 for a tenner or get the voucher from the independant on sunday for 10 off a 50 euro shop and get almost 28 bottles for 40 euro. surely the best value out there.

Who makes that?

If you go on the ASDA website you can find out, the deal is mostly for ASDA own brand beer and Ales, I have no idea what they taste like, they have a good selection of English Ales but not much in the was of Irish, U.S. or European craft beer

MonstaMash

McHugh's have Founders Centennial IPA, Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale & Founders Porter for a mere €2.65 a 355ml bottle which I think is great value for superb quality beers

€5 delivery charge for Greater Dublin area & €6 delivery for the rest of the country

This is incorrect, the deal is not mainly for ASDA own brand, to name a few of the ales on offer:

Old Speckled Hen
Golden Hen
tangle foot
Badger Champion
Balck Sheep
Deuchers IPA
Badger Fursty Ferret
Green King ales
Whitewater ales

They have a lot more than that, non ASDA own brand, they are clearly listed on the website.

The best deal that I have come across is a case of Modus Hoperandi for €40 in drinkstore. You need to bear in mind that this is a beer you can't get in most US states, it's 355ml and is a bloody beautiful 6.8% IPA.
One thing to note, the best before date is January 2014 but Ska put a 4 month best before on these cans, the reason for that is hoppy IPAs will lose start losing their hop character after a few months. That means these were canned recently and if consumed by January, they will be considered fresh but they will last much longer.

I ordered two cases and got free shipping.

Nice one, Ill try the Modus Hoperandi. I bought a case of Sierra Nevada celebration for 48 euro. Its past its best before by two months and it still tastes excellent. I also got a great deal on founders Centennial IPA, 4 for a tenner.
I love drinkstore.ie!
