    what price would be become good value to you?

    10 is about as low as it ever goes. Can't recall it going for less and if it did it would have been snapped up in an instant and likely low volumes.

    If you don't like the taste then fair enough, a lot of the cheaper own brands are made with "wine" and some whiskey. That wine is typically cheaply brewed sugar water.

    I can 100% confirm Tesco have 500ml Guinness cans with widgets for €20.. just got 2 slabs, also have hop house bottles 20 for €18.

    I picked up some Guinness & Heineken - didn't see any slabs of Hop House, might pop up later and get some bottles.

    It's great value especially when I'm used to buying Brewdog 330ml 4-packs for around a tenner.

    Tesco's trick seems to be to bump the prices right up between Christmas and New Year's - they did this last year anyway. No offers on slabs.

    Yes last year once Christmas Eve was over there was zero deals up until March or April, well worth getting as much as you can now.

    is this using 10 off 50 vouchers or something? or was it really 2 for €15. If we are going to talk about vouchers then I got a bottle for €0 in tesco the other day!

    Dream on...
    I tried to order 12 bottles on the site, but they only have 6 in stock. Freight looks like €36 to the North, no RoI option, so they are cheaper here, and a lot less hassle.

    It is excise duty that takes the fun out of it.

    Yep, a v nice Rioja.

    If buying a few bottles though Tesco have 25 percent off any 6 bottles including miniatures. So you could get Cune Rioja Riserva for 7.50 a bottle.

    Did my annual stock up.

    Heinekens were best before October 2021 and all so I'm grand for beer up til then :D


    edit: I also noticed that they've put the boxes (20 x 330ml) of Hop House and Corona from 15 euro back up to 18 and 20 euro respectively. And Rockshore is now 20 per slab not 2 for 35.

    Well you have the price now, since they didn't publish it in their leaflet, knock yourself out.
    I swear I've seen them around €10 all the time.

    Aldi have 18 hop house for €24 all year, I pick up a slab every 2 weeks with the shopping.. it's rarely anywhere else in a slab, I picked up a box of 20 bottles from Tesco a few weeks ago for €15. Don't know if they still have them at that price.

    Those gins are unbelievably cheap. I love the Tanqueray Seville Orange one, it's usually €40-45! A bargain indeed at 25.

    Gunpowder is a great deal, think that's normally around €45-€50 but unsurprisingly sold out when I checked.


    How sweet is the Tanqueray ? I hate when flavoured gins taste like alcopops. I like subtle flavoured gins like Boyle's raspberry blush.

    I picked up the Beefeater 3 for 50. I like that gin so thought it was a good deal. Haven't tried the Tanqueray.

    It's not very sweet at all. The Whitney Neil ones are full of sugar but the Tanqueray is light. Was given it with ginger ale in a pop up gin cocktail bar in Newcastle and loved it. Even my beer and whiskey drinking friend has taken to it so definitely not overly sweet.
