    Doesn’t matter. Ablelocks is spot on. Too many opinions that are clogging up the thread. 1 post of a deal followed by 10 posts relating to the merits of something..... normally an “....acher”. It’s a pain in the hole in fairness.

    It was an ironic joke!

    I completely agree- the debate about people’s preferences is tiresome.

    It can helpful if someone asks for a recommendation based on a bargain posted- but the pointless attempts at oneupmanship on your ‘taste’ is unnecessarily smug - we get it, there are some ultra refined pallets out there when it comes to drinking beer.

    Agreed, but if you are buying in those quantities you are going to need a thread to yourself :)

    Lidl have Coors Light 8x 500ml cans €10.

    Not particularly a bargain but Dunnes have 5 Ltr. Kegs of Krombacher 4.8% for €25.

    When I was in there yesterday I picked a few cans of Germania Pilsner 4.8% for €1.15 a can which is quite nice.

    Insert joke here about my taste being 'a bit wooden'!

    Sainsburys 100% definitely don't have it either.

    Sainsburys offer until Tuesday - 1 litre Absolut Vodka @ £20

    Had a look in Newry today- didn't see anything of any particular interest- there just wasn't any value in anything.

    Tesco have 12 cans of punk IPA for 12 stg. Asda have dead man's fingers for 18 and red leg for 15. 1L of Smirnoff or Bacardi is 17stg in Asda and Sainsbury.

    Picked up a couple of those a few weeks back and it was nice enough but was a shocker to see its brewed for Aldi!

    On the ball, the stout is class.

    Its applied at the till.
    Think they're cutting back on awarding Nectar points on products- their recent offerings have been pretty miserable.

    Have a look in both- Tesco tends to be a bit cheaper, but Sainsburys generally have a better range (and they're 'Taste-the-difference' own brand is really really good). Shop around though.

    You're right, 5 euro a litre for a basic pilsner is nuts. Same shop sells Spaten 5x500mL for €10 which is one of the best pilsners around. So 5 litres would be €20. You don't get the 'lad points' of having a massive 'can' in your fridge though :p

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    8am...(not sure that time below is correct for Sundays, thought that was circa 1pm)
    Off-licences may sell alcohol:
    • from 08:00 to 23:00 (except on Sundays, Christmas Day and Easter Day)
    • on Sundays from 10:00 to 22:00
