    Anyone know any places where the likes of VB, Tooheys New, Carlton Cold, Cascade etc can be bought for carry out in Dublin or online? (not the Woolshed at €5.20 a bottle!)

    I've looked in a few places and can't see anywhere. O'Brien's seemed to have had them a few years ago but no more.

    Thanks

    Only Aussie beer you might find easily enough is Coopers, I know Molloy's used to stock it. I haven't noticed it there for a while, but I wouldn't have been looking for it either. Drinkstore and Martin's in Fairview both have it on their websites. O'Brien's used to stock VB, not sure if they still sell it though, it's a long time since I saw it there. After that I'd say your chances are pretty slim I'm afraid.

    Why do you want them? Any generic macro lager will plug those gaps for you.

    It's a nostalgia thing rather than taste :p

    You can say that again, cobbler.

    Try down the Abbeycreek or https://mitchellandson.com/collections/australian

    Thanks but never really drank Coopers when over there. And I see O'Briens have it listed.
    Seems to be the only Aussie beer available in off licences in Ireland unfortunately

    Martin's in Fairview definitely used to have more than just Coppers. Worth a try.

    Instead of down the road he could try up the road in the 6 counties.

    None of the Aussie beers mentioned are imported to ROI currently apart from Cooper's, Danzys suggestion of looking up North is your best bet atm. UK market is bigger and shops up there have better access to it.
