    Since when are Grolsch gone? I bought Grolsch in the off-licence in Lucan Village after Christmas. If they're gone- its a recent development.

    I see 12x330ml bira moretti bottles in tesco Maynooth. No price up yet though. Peroni is 18 for 12 so presume it'll be much the same.

    Leave the two gulden draak until the end. Otherwise you'll be disappointed with all the rest :D excellent value for 15 euro.

    I’ve never drank any beer stronger than 5% so which bottle in the Belgian beer box should I start off with?

    I noticed also in lidl there was another selection box of ales I think? Did anyone pick that box up?

    If you want an instant bang bang feeling start with golden draak or whatever in the box is around 10-11%

    Go hard and then wind down to the lower percents

    That would be the golden beers package. 8 330 bottles for a tenner. I was gonna buy it earlier but got the 6 bottle belgian beer for 15 snots. I tried the white bottle gulden draak just now. Defo feeling a buzz off it but taste isnt my thing.

    Apparently they stopped a brewing contract last November in UK and Ireland. Their owner Asahi has withdrawn Grolsch from these 2 markets. Very disappointing news to discover.

    Has anyone bought this box in Lidl?

    What are the beers like?

    The Bornhems are great, Pirratt ok, Guilden draak is sickly sweet.
    With all of them caution is advised, very strong.

    Nice when in Italia. You'll pay for a bottle in Ireland.

    Moretti has been in my local O Briens (Carlow) for a good few weeks now (i'd say 6-8) on offer, 12 for €15. I've been drinking practically nothing else other than it and Brewdog Punk IPA which is 12 for €12 in the same place.

    Is there any consensus on best place to buy good value wine?

    I'd normally get that Tesco deal for 6 bottles but seems to be rate these days or has reduced selection.

    Thinking there might be some better place online. Or maybe some group collective buying deal.

    Wine Lab is great. 55 for 6 bottles, with free delivery. https://www.winelab.ie/shop/everydayheroes

    Failing that, Aldi wines are the best price to quality of all the supermarkets. Check out the vino veritas thread on boards for recommendations.

    Some Tesco wine prices have dropped. I was able to get Yellow Tail for €8 during the week, first time it's been that cheap in a very long time. I'd been buying it for €9 on offer in SuperValu as it's normally €12/14

    Lidl are the best, followed by Aldi. The estevez Carmanere for €6.50 in Aldi is outstanding value.
    M&S have new range ‘This is’ from €7.30-7.80, good value.

    Tesco 6 for €40 and 6 for €50 selections start again this Monday morning and are available throughout the May bank holiday weekend. 😉

    Tesco are doing Gordon's, Captain Morgan and Smirrnoff 25 euro for a litre also slabs of Bud and Carlsberg for 25 euro.

    Hopefully this will trigger a reaction from the other supermarkets.
