Finally, a drinks offer I can get my teeth sunk into! Its been ages since a decent offer like this has been around. I'm going to stock up with about 8 slabs of Guinness.

Any idea how long of a best before they'd have on Guinness?

It would be at least 6 months or more and you have Christmas in between as well.

Good deal in Tesco for beer glasses, perfect for the Guinness offer posted above (24 for €28).

€3 for 4 x 570ml




(They also have 4 x 570ml HiBall version for about 8 euro)

tesco at the moment Coors light, Heineken and Guinness 24 cans for €28 offer on until 4/11 also Carlsberg, Bud light and Miller cans 24 cans for €26 but make sure you buy 24 individual cans as buying them in packs of 8 or so will cost much more

Thanks for this, got a slab of Carlsberg in Tesco Letterkenny for €26. Still plenty there.

If you use tesco home delivery for the first time (just sign up under different email if you have already) you get €20 off €60 orders. I also received free delivery this week

Do the breweries and retailers not realise that if they mess around with the percentage volume of alcohol in beer, that they're also messing around with the taste??
4% ABV for Stella is just plain criminal. I can't imagine it having the crisp taste of normal Stella. I've seen also Carlsberg cans with 3.8% ABV. They may as well be pouring it from a water tap.

3.8 Carlsberg is UK stock - it's always that there.

Its mainly the hops used in brewing that gives it the taste.

ABV only determines the strength of the beer.

But then again I suppose all things are relevant...

eh i dunno

Any of the big stores doing any deals on slabs? Miller, Coors etc?

MrMike

Saw on the Boozedoc app tesco and dunnes are doing good slab deals on all beers

Keith186

€14 for 12 Guinness in SuperValu. They had one or two others for same price, Carlsberg and maybe Bud.
