    Not any better imho than the Breysers or St Etienne in Aldi which are cheaper at normal price than the Perlenbacher is on offer.

    Think it's best agree to disagree in this case

    Adjusts glasses, I think you're both wrong as both "beers" are crap. Snort.

    Tax and excise on 2 litres of beer, at current Revenue rates, in Ireland- comes to a total of 5.68 (VAT, Excise and duty).

    Not entirely sure how Lidl (or indeed Tesco) are managing their prices.
    Vis-a-vis the 1 litre bottles of spirits in Tesco- the duty/excise/VAT- comes to more than the entire price that Tesco are charging.

    I'm guessing they're applying customer quotas!

    Yes there's signs saying 3 bottle max on some of the price lables.

    I don't think it is. Unless my calcs are wrong? I did it before to confirm tesco were selling their cheapest vodka & rum below cost.

    The spirits listed are 37.5% or less, excise is "€42.57 per litre of alcohol in the spirits" so €15.96 per litre of 37.5%.

    Vat is 23%, on their €23 bottle €4.30 is VAT, and they get €18.69, which will cover the excise.

    It would seem to me it would have to be sold below €19.63 per litre (€13.74 per 700ml), to be below the excise & VAT amounts.

    They could well be selling below cost but that is not what you were saying.

    Spirits are very cheap to produce, and when I see deals like this I presume it is the distilleries & breweries who are taking the hit, and not just tesco deciding to decimate their own profits.

    Ozujsko is a fairly decent Croatian beer, they use less preservatives on their locally sold beer, not sure if the export has the same recipe. These bottles cost about 50cent retail in Croatia so a decent markup !!

    Unaged spirits like vodka, rum, gin are. Anything that has to be aged in wood (whiskey, brandy) isn't! especially if there are rules as to grain/grape content

    For the last week or so my local Dunnes has had a litre of Powers at €32. Dropped into South Great Georges' St (Dublin :) ) outlet today (Thurs) and they had them for €30! So with a €10 Dunnes voucher that's €50 for 2 litres and a €10 voucher back. I wouldn't be surprised if this offer didn't last into the weekend though.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Lots of local offlicences are holding gin events recently- I know Kenny's in Lucan have a special on gun-shot gin (I'm not vouching for it- I don't drink gin- a nice single malt whiskey is more my thing).

    70 cl of Malibu is 16 euro in Supervalue,
    Normally 22-25 (which is a rip off!!)

    Problem is, you can drink two bottles before realising you have.. :P

    Boyles Gin from Aldi is about €26 all the time. It is made by Blackwater Distillery and really good.

    O'Briens have a spirit sale and have decent prices on craft gin

    Can anyone who has been to Indonesia recommend a pils like Bintang that can be bought in Ireland?

    Largers don't suit my stomach because of how carbonated and bitter they are, but I found I could drink a lot of Bintang when i was over there.

    Cheers.

    Normally this offer is followed fairly quickly by "Polish Week", where you can get Argus beer for €1.50/can - anyone know if there's one of these coming up?

    I'm on Lidl's email thingy but still not on the inside track on upcoming offers :(

    It's only a couple of months since they had the Argus beer in last, not bad but I prefer the Tatra beer. On a bang per buck basis however the Argus Strong can't be beat.

    the only decent non-alcoholic that I've tasted is is erdinger or paulaner - anything else that i've tasted is muck...
