Carry out offys had it at €8 a bottle over Valentine's Day - worth a phone call to the local one as they sometimes carry offers over

None in my local but Franziskaner was back on offer at 4 for €6

Guinness specials were on offer 2 for €4 but they only had the Dublin one in stock not the West Indies porter so didn't get any

In Tesco dun laoghaire today 4pks of Francis big bangin BB Jan 18 were €4.50, probably phasing it out with the new branding being pushed atm.

I've found various random beers reduced by 50% in various Tesco stores in the past week or so. I assume it's individual stores discontinuing specific lines as they're not short-dated.

As an example, Kenmare stout & red ale reduced to €1.50 in Prussia St.

Seems odd, the large Francis bottles are still full price, not complaining anyway, 8 bottles for €9

Did you leave any on the shelf???

Good call on the 330ml Big Banging. Picked up a few packs in my local Tesco.

Not quite in the same bargain league but Dunnes (mine at least) are doing the 4x500ml Big Banging (BB Feb 18) for a tenner.

slayerking · 10-03-2017 07:50PM

Just checked local Tescos there. A few beers to be got for 1.50.

Whitewater clothworthy dobbin (1.58 for some reason)
Whitewater Belfast ale
Whitewater lager
Stone barrel boom session IPA
Munster brewery 12 towers
Kenmare Porter
Sharps white shield

Maybe a few more knocking about.

Got 3 of the Clothworthy afraid to get 4 as they were still in the 4 for €10!

The €1.58 is because it's half the regular price (which was probably €3.15).

What beers are half-price depends on the individual store. Some Tesco stores have no delisted beers.

The multi-buy offer doesn't apply if the sum of the individual beers is less. I picked up a good few in a store a few days ago and the multi-buy offer didn't kick in.

Never can be sure though I've seen food offers where a multibuy discount was dearer. They sorted it out when I said it but but I was in a rush yesterday so didn't want the hassle. Might try and pick up a few more then. Got the last 2 packs of the Francis IPA for €4.50

The Clotworthy (nice beer) is same price in my Tesco and the BB is April 17.

Johnny Drama_11 · 12-03-2017 10:00AM

O'Briens have 6 for 5 on a wide range of craft beers. Not a huge bargain but a saving none the less.

Johnny Drama_11 · 18-03-2017 02:04PM

My local Dunnes are selling O'Hara's DIPA for €3 a bottle. Might be off use to some of you.

donaghs · 21-03-2017 04:51PM

All the Aldis seem to be selling the O'Shea's Wheat Beer Belgian Style for €1.69, compared with the still decent €1.89 for the other O'Shea's.

Not the best of the O'Shea's perhaps, I prefer the Stout and Pale Ales, but decent enough.

the_barfly1 · 04-04-2017 09:21PM

Short-dated Trouble Brewing Kill Lager going 12 for €9.99 in Carry Out Tyrrelstown.

That wasnt a typo. There were about ten crates left on the floor this evening.

Johnny Drama_11 · 06-04-2017 07:09PM

Hoppy lager and Ruthless rye IPA from Sierra Nevada are 4 for €10 in Carryout Clongriffin.

Johnny Drama_11 · 06-04-2017 08:02PM

Blacks of Kinsale Mosaic 5 for €10 in Carryout Clongriffin.

andekwarhola · 13-04-2017 09:22AM

My local Tesco have a lot of nice stuff on 4 for 10 quid: Magic Rock (High Wire and West Coast IPA), Metalman (Chilli Porter and IPA), Guinness Antwerpen (8%, usually €3.25), McGargles 500ml Little Banging IPA, Founders All Day, Anchor Steam, Lagunitas IPA, Sierra Nevada Torpedo etc.

You can mix and match as well.

Recently Tesco were selling 24can slabs of Guinness, Carlsberg etc for €24. The deal seems to be gone now. Anyone know if any other supermarkets doing similar offers at the moment? thanks

These aren't good beer, or a bargain.

Those offers area pretty widespread.

Best forum for this is Bargain Requests.

Ha ha, I see what you've done there. I've a had a look for stickies etc on this topic and can't find if the thread refers to a good bargain, or "good" beer". Of course defining good beer is interesting. I prefer "craft" beer myself, but many guest to my house do not, they like Guinness. I like Guinness a bit too, but prefer other stouts too numerous to name. (there are flavour differences between Scotch and Irish Whiskey BTW...)

Not a bargain? Is it possible to buy Guinness cheaper than €1 per can? That's cheaper even than they sold any beer when I was a student 20 years ago.

Thanks for another helpful response anyway, I don't want to divert the thread any further, I'll keep an eye out then!
