    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.

    Pity they only have 330 ml in Corona though. And pricey at that too.

    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

    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.

    **** me, I love Portugal, it’s my favourite country in all of. Europe but Superbock, Sagres etc is horrific At €7 for a 6 pack we are being extorted.

    Euro 3.90 Portugal for 6. Also they have 330ml cans in Portugal for around 75c.

    Its a 30c a bottle beer. All those spanish and Portuguese beers taste the same. I lived in malaga for a couple months I had cruzcampo coming out my ears. Its so hot there you don't care how it tastes as long as its cold.

    30c? When did you live there? The 1950s?

    I find Portuguese beers far superior to the Spanish, with Cruzcampo being the one I avoid if possible and tend to go for Mahou. That's just me though

    Thumbs up here for moretti too . Drank it in Rome last year on holiday and been one of my go to beers since .
    Fantastic beer , great refreshing taste off it and decent value on it in Tesco now also .
    Wouldn’t go near peroni now , moretti beats it by a mile in my opinion .

    Lads, not sure about this. So tested quite a few of both last week. I still think a really chilled bottle of peroni is king. I found moretti a bit tangy at the same temp. Didn't stop me doing three of each just to make sure :pac:

    Savage deal either way as I've been caught for €3.50 a bottle else where.

    If you've got any better ideas to replicate the Portuguese experience, I'd love to hear it. :pac:

    It was 9.90 for 24 x 33cl cans. So about 40c each

    You could do worse than Portuguese wine. The general rule of thumb is drink beer from a beer country and wine from a wine country.
    The general Portuguese experience doesn’t involve **** beer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭Reputable Rog


    Euro 3.90 Portugal for 6. Also they have 330ml cans in Portugal for around 75c.

    The resort I stayed in last year had 33cl cans for 70c and that was an expensive place.
    Some of the bars in the village I stayed in had 50cl draft for 90c or bottles of Cristal for 70c.
    The Superbock stout is ok, better than Murphy’s.

    Right yeah that makes sense, thought you were on about bottles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,496 ✭✭✭bennyineire


    Moretti, Superbock it's all crap lads, there is a reason why you have a headache after 6.
    German or Czech lager can't be beat, they invented and don't but any crap in their beer

    Three solid beers there. Used to drink all three quite a bit before I got into craft beers. Must pick up a few bottles again soon.

    This would be them in order of preference for myself.

    1. Pilsner Urquell
    2. Staropramen
    3. Budvar

    Dunno, I bough them big bottles of it in dunnes one day and I didn’t like it. It seemed a bit sour or something. Not smooth and fresh lager like Heineken, grolsch and super bokk.

    They do a non-pasteurised beer too. Really good.

    And a honey beer which is...an acquired taste to say the least :D I haven't seen that anywhere in ages though.

    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)

    Re: myBooze.eu

    Just got my 48 cans with no extra tax or problems with being seized etc...

    Not saying it’d be the same for all but that two of us who haven’t had an issue now.

    Looking forward to the weekend now for a beer. Will report back on the Egerer Weizen and Schwartz that I went for.

    Cases of 8 500ml Coors for €10 in Tesco this evening, 24 for €30


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭geordi


    Stumbled across some decent deals on Nuts About Wine:

    Founders Centennial - €1.50
    Foxes Rock - €1.25
    Moretti - €1.25

    Delivery wasn't the cheapest at €9, but thought the selection at those prices was worth it.

    I think when the Perlenbacher has 8 bottles in the pack as part of XXL promo, it's from Germany and will say so on the pack - and it is a lovely pilsner.
    If 6 bottles, it's from France, and is ok but nothing special.
    (at least, that was the thread consensus last time round)

    If you search this thread, you'll see much interest in the XXL version and it usually flies off the shelves :)

    I can't say I've noticed much of a difference, but then you wouldn't when they are very cold, and that's the only way to drink a pilsner IMO.

    Staropramen in Dunnes is brewed by Molson Coors in the UK. Can you get the stuff brewed in Prague in Ireland?

    I must have got the stuff not brewed in Germany when I got it a few months ago! I wouldn't usually be too fussy on my beers but could barely finish 2 bottles of it

    Dunno, I bough them big bottles of it in dunnes one day and I didn’t like it. It seemed a bit sour or something. Not smooth and fresh lager like Heineken, grolsch and super bokk.

    That's because as has been pointed out a few times on this thread, the 660 bottles are UK brewed shyte. Disgraceful to have a great beer brand cheapened in that way by a mega brewing conglomerate. :mad:

    The 500 bottles in Dunnes are still from Prague - for now. But if people are happy to buy the UK brewed shyte while still paying a premium beer price, then we can expect them to also be replaced with UK brewed shyte.

    A super hard brexit would put an end to that nonsense :pac:

    Dunnes Beer Thursday14 May Portmarnock


    Not much to report. Slabs of Bud and Guinness 32 e less 20% if U have vouchers..25.60 a slab.


    Starpromen unpasteurised 5 for 10/8 with voucher. A lot of O'Haras at 5 for 10/8 with voucher. Lomza unfiltered/unpasteurised/export all 4 for 7/5.60 with voucher.

    Open gate non alcoholic 6@330 ml for 5/4 with voucher. Starting too early this weather so trying a few N/A. This is ,IMO, the best I have come across. Way ahead of Heineken 00 and , to my taste, slightly better than Erdinger....my usual N/A


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,343 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    12 Tiger for €15 in Tesco I'll be getting that again this weekend. The nicest of the mainstream beers.
