Booze deals [Megathread]

Picked up a couple of cases of the Budějovický Budvar from Tesco at the weekend (12 bottles for €15). Long time since I had it but it's still as good as ever. Almost too easy to drink. Czech brewed stuff as well, so it's proper.

Well worth it.

I've often seen this offer here but never availed- is it still on?

It's been in local store last few weeks, but was advertised as in-store from 14/5.

Is that based on having tasting it, or on general principles (which may be sound) about its origins

Anyone see cans of Harp lately? Seems to have been replaced by ****e shore.

Yea Diagio stopped making them temporarily. There going back into production this week. Should be back in the shops in the next fortnight

The slab is gone but I'm probably better off waiting til next weekend to see the offers

Heineken, Stella or Carlsberg

I just want to take this moment to say that Supervalu's alcohol deals are f*ckin shocking.

Their wine deals are just rolled over from month to month & their spirits deals are pathetic. End rant.

Monkey 47 50cl - 40 euros : https://www.obrienswine.ie/products/monkey-47-50cl

Is monkey 47 really that good a gin to justify its price? It seems to be the most premium of gins. Iv never tried it but curious as to whether its noticeably different.

Whats the reason behind that? I did see a thing on twitter but i thought it was just one off license.

They couldn't keep up with demand of all there brands. They had to streamline and focus on the most popular, Carlsberg, Budweiser, Guinness etc.
However good news I'm told stocks are now going back into shops since yesterday.

It’s big up north and in Kerry bizarrely enough.

Does anywhere in Ireland do those 5L beer kegs anymore? I know the Heineken ones weren't that popular and they more or less flopped but are there any others around anywhere?
