Hard to beat Spaten, and it's 5 for €10 in Dunnes.

If that site is shipping into Ireland then there's the risk of your order being seized.

Private joker did you have any problems with shipping?

Just as a caveat, that website quotes the EU rules on this, referencing that products must be for personal use and be transported by the person themselves. It also claims that the latter condition is met by using (hiring) them to transport those goods.

This is contradictory and simply not true - the transporting of goods by the person themselves is ultimately taken to mean that the person themselves must accompany the goods; using or hiring someone to do this means this condition is not met and the goods are not moving in accordance with legislation.

This may mean that goods could be seized or detained for payment of additional duty (if detected when entering the country)

Rules for duty-paid alcohol and tobacco products
If you want to bring in alcohol and tobacco products (up to the indicative limits below) without paying extra duty or tax:

you must be 17 or older
you must keep receipts (to prove you have already paid duty and tax)
you must transport and accompany the goods yourself
and
the goods must be acquired by you for your own personal use and you cannot intend to sell them.

Excisable products (for example, alcohol, tobacco and oil) purchased within the EU via the internet or by mail are subject to excise duty and VAT.

Lidl today. Slabs. Finglas.
Bud - €25
Guinness - €22
Heineken - €27

Blanch centre had bud for €25

My Lidl , Sligo had the Bud but not Guinness or Heiniken.

But they did have 12 x 500ml cans of Perlenbacher at €12.49.
Noticed that unlike the bottles I bought recently it is 4.8% and does not say where it is brewed.

Supervalu two 660ml bottles of Moretti for 6 euro

Not getting at you Andrew00


Just pointing out that’s pretty poor value.

Would work out at about 1:50 per 330 ml bottle. Those 660 ml bottles should be close to 2 euro or below to represent real value I feel. That’s my take on it.

It’s a swizz dressed up as a bargain these Supermarkets have a lot to answer for when it comes to pretending to give us value.

Places doing Draft in a bottle now saw it today in Super Value. Anyone have an info on it ???

2 cans of Eight Degrees Breweries for €5 there

has anyone seen adnams bitter anywhere? Aldi used to do it some years ago and I loved it. I can't find it anywhere and Adnams don't ship to Ireland

It's grand. I'd a rake load of it on my first night in portugal last year. About 25 33cl cans. Couldn't touch it after that. LOL.

Same as anything I suppose.

Big fan of Superbock myself but have a technical question. How many cans in a rake ?

Superbock is a lovely lager.

First time having it tonight and it won't be the last.

It really is lovely.
I had 6 last night and I had a fair pain in my head in the morning. I could notice the bit extra alcohol content from the hangover. But I was ok an hour after taking a panadol.

You should look at the whiskey on that mybooze.eu site....jameson blenders dog or Cooper's Croze, 1 of them bought with the black barrel, would come in at 90 all in. The black barrel is only 29 right now, the Cooper's Croze is 44, but when you add in the delivery etc 2 bottles are 90.

Is it still good value though - VAT is already applied in another EU country so question what is the difference in Duty. Not as straight forward as ex-EU where no duty is paid or offset.

Both duty and VAT are applied if detected

Thanks for all the info here lads.

Can someone tell me what's the alcohol % in the super bock please? And also, taste wise.... I'm usually a grolsch or Stella drinker, similar in taste ?

I'll give the Cullen's cider a try too, gonna do a small BBQ.

Thanks

EDIT: Forgot to ask, is the super bock only in Lidl at various times, or is it always in stock?

Cheers
