    Budvar cans have been accepted since day 1 at Re-Turn machines, even with no logo on the cans (and no deposit was charged for a while, either - in Dunnes)

    yeah, I still have some to bring back without the logo. They have been missing from tesco for a while now. They vanished, came back with the logo and now vanished again. I wondered if a shipment of old cans came in or something. They can still legally sell ones without the logos for now, but Tesco have been making a definite point of trying not to. I still see random old stock appearing in the discounted section, well in date but no logos. The budvar longnecks also disappeared for a good while but are back a few weeks so it does not seem to be an issue with the importer/distributor.

    I wonder if we will see many discounted stock when the time approaches where it will be illegal, e.g. more specialist foreign beers with no intention of getting the logo.

    Have to drive up to Newry shortly for something. Tend to drink IPA's so perhaps not too much difference in value up there?

    Tempted to just get a slab of something generic (Heineken/Carlsberg) anyway.

    Heineken is currently 2 15x440ml for £22 in Sainsburys, no Nectar card required. Not really in to the IPA's myself so never really noticed any good deals on these but I am sure they will be cheaper than here.

    Tesco and Asda offered no value on IPA, that I could see. Brew dog/Beaverton etc were pricey.

    Spirits where so so value. If you shop wisely in the south you can do better.

    Wine was way better value when coupled with 25% off discounts.

    But just like here, prices one week can change dramatically the next.

    Regular beers and wine are where the savings are to be made up north.

    Craft beers were relatively expensive here even before MUP

    Would that be 5% Heineken?

    Yes it's the only one they sell. I think it basically equals drinking a can of our 500ml 4.3%.
