I much preferred this thread when it focussed on booze bargain alerts....

Anyone else notice that about 25% of cans in a Heineken slab are dead when poured

I made the same decision when they came out, I refuse to support the sneaky humps for pulling a stunt like this.

I see in the ads above that Aldi haven't detailed the size of the cans which is even more sneaky, at least the others have put it in the small print.

To be honest at 20 for 24 cans I'll probably yield and pick up a few Bulmers if they are in front of me, but hell will freeze over before I support Guinness with this hungry move.

I see they were selling glasses in Lidl yesterday, 7 euro for two and they had some other tat as well they were trying to charge premium prices for when they should be giving it away and be thankful if anyone would want it.

The Covid 19 is after landing them on their arse big time, I'm delighted, they have taken their customer base for granted for far too long.

Guinness pint glasses €1 in Tesco.

4 * 660ml bottles of Peroni @ EUR10
18 * 330ml bottles of Peroni @ EUR20

Plenty of stock of each (in Liffey Valley this morning)- I picked up 2 of the 18 packs.

Also- 70cl bottles of Hennessy @ EUR25 and the 1litre bottles of Powers Gold Label- is still EUR25

All in Tesco.

Not certain, in local store, had Guinness & Rockshore in storeroom, employee said Rockshore wasn't scanning, probably not set up on system, brought out box of Guinness glasses. Another store someone posted had Guinness & Hop House.

I noticed that last year with a few crates.

Is it the flat one like most bars or the ones with the indentations on it?.

I got the latter free with a multi pack purchase about a month ago in Dunnes.

Yeah same ones.

Bit cheeky they're selling them and not giving them with purchases.

These glasses are exactly 500ml to the brim.

Why is it cheeky for them to sell a glass?

Why should they give it away for free with a purchase?

Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice thing to get from them or any other brewery on the odd occasion that they do it but I wouldn’t feel like I should expect them to do so.

Got Dunnes vouchers in the post today several €10 off a €40 shop plus one €25 off a €100 shop. Got a bottle Hennessy and 1Lt of Baracdi €25 each but just €20 after the voucher. May as well stock up now as this is all outlawed for alcohol come early January.

the ones linked are 20 uk fluid oz, aka a pint, 568ml. Did you get a 500ml glass in the supermarket? if so where? did you test it or why do you think its 500ml?

I believe they are all 568ml, my friend got one this week and its 568ml which is apparent as the can poured in it looks like shite.

I think this might be a reference to the MUP law including provisions to restrict points/vouchers being used for alcohol.

Anyone else find them a little small when pouring a 500ml guiness can

also I note in local tesco none out on the shelves asked and younglad went off and found them in the very back of the store. staff holding for themselves crossed my mind.
BYTW notice that on the box of each glass it says that they are free with multipack purchases

Will look on box after work, didn't see it previously, unlike the Moretti glass €5 or free with box of bottles, that has free glass printed on box.

500ml of guinness with the expanded head will not fit in a 500ml glass. I wondered if the 470ml would suit it.

Guinness sell 520ml surger cans for 568ml glasses, but the head is also too big, I reckon it needs to be about 530-540ml to fit a 568ml glass properly

Peroni 18 330ml bottles for 20 quid in Tesco
