The heartbreaking search for Sagres

SqueakyKneecap

Hi folks,

Been trying to search far and wide for Sagres that can be bought or shipped to our lovely island. Unfortunately it seems a lot of online sellers are either UK-based and unable to deliver post-Brexit or using very dodgy couriers.

Has anybody had any luck or seen a few bottles in an offie around Ireland? I've no issue travelling a fair aul drive but spots like Egans in Portlaoise have no stock.

I see Amazon sell a few bottles from Berlin but I think An Post are strict enough about beer deliveries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've definintely seen it in the last year in Molloy's on Francis Street in Dublin but I don't know if anyone is distributing it on the regular.

It won't taste as good as it did in Portugal though.

They sell it in Nandos if you're desperate for a bottle of it (when they're back open).

Just returned from Faro. 6 pack of 330ml in the local supermarket €4.99. Even better in the larger supermarket, €9.99 for 16 x 300ml. Had a quick look here and found 4 x 330ml Sagres XL for €9.99. Not sure what difference XL makes and don't care. The cost here is disgraceful.

The prices are not directly comparable. For fairness, you also need to compare Irish versus Portuguese prices across a basket of goods like bike shelters and children's hospitals.

Call Joe Duffy. It's a disgrace!

you should have been buying the 1 Litre bottles for €1.69, you’d save even more money. Personally not a great fan of Sagres. Bohemia or Superbock would be better or the San Miguel which is often sold alongside it.
