    Galahad is a cheap beer that saw a lot of lads through college. It's popular, can't say whether it's piss or not.

    Once you get most beer cold enough they are all good. The better thing is that after a few it doesn't matter if they are cold or not.

    This is very true. I mean after the first <insert your limit here> beers, you won't care.

    Those small Finkbrau bottles from Lidl were the job back when I was in college. 5er for 10 of them. Throw in some Rachminoff vodka and you were sound for the night.

    Fosters.

    Six cans for 7e (same as Tennants) in the local.

    I mean... it depends if you want a headache, or a full blown migraine in the morning. :pac:

    Bit rich for my blood at the minute haha.that does bring up the discussion of cheap spirits tho

    Galahad and Finkbrau are good suggestions there. I'd add in Zateky Güs (pronounced Geese), or Carling.

    Oooh! I'm intrigued! Where would one pick up this "Geese"?

    What would you compare it to (if you had to!).

    Lomza, Lech, Tyskie, Zubar ...any polish beers.

    Strong, cheap and generally very tasty.
    oh yeah I've seen zubar actually but it's usually dear I thought? Like over 2 a can ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    4 karpackie at €5.50 is enough to chill, double that to get fooked up for peanuts.

    Tasty beer.

    Lidl do a nice beer called Franziskanr. I can't remember how much it costs but I think it was 1.70 last time I bought it.

    Beers like Lech, Karpackie and Tyskie have been mentioned, which personally, I can't tolerate.

    However, for more tender stomachs like mine, there is an Aldi cider called Cullen's which is a perfectly acceptable drink. It's nothing remarkable, but it's no worse than Bulmers, and is more reasonably priced.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,967 ✭✭✭buried


    Yes, another vote here for Karpackie. Very,very good stuff. Was at a Polish family's BBQ recently, and that's what they had in huge quantities.
    Went very well with my huge quantity intake of burgers

    You need the soakage of the burgers, Karpackie is potent stuff!

    Karpackie is horrible
    There's better in the 1 euro range

    Irish always seem to be very anti Scottish for some reason.

    Not a massive fan of the country either tbh (it's like a wetter and greyer version of Ireland) but I do love both Scotch and Tennent's.:)

    Bonnie Scotland.........:):)

    ??????

    Is the "Zateky" completely silent?

    Anyway, Tyskie, Aldi Rheinbacher, Lidl Perlenbacher Pils. All good, all cheap.
