they've been doing that for years - the likes of Santa Rita and Wolfblass are always on special offer, you'd be nuts to pay full price.
No, it is not the likes of Santa Rita, those big brands, they are on offer but it's usually couple of euros off. Same as any other supermarket selling them.
It is the "brands" that you can only buy in Tesco, nowhere else, which are frequently half price. If you see a bottle half price in Tesco, and nowhere else stocks it, it is one of them.
Had it in france a few months ago too and it was good. Muck the stuff they try and pawn off on us here
I bought 660ml Birra Morretti bottles in North a few months ago without realising they were UK brewed. I still had a couple of the Italian brewed bottles and it was staggering the difference drinking one bottle of the smooth Italian brewed bottles followed immediately with one of the gassy more bitter almost flavourless UK brewed bottle of the so called exact same beer
It’s crazy. Why would it not be same? Is there anywhere here we’re you can buy no UK stuff?
I can't understand what they are at, they are destroying their brands by brewing mickey mouse stuff on the cheap that tastes nothing like their home brewed stuff, I've actually blacklisted beers I'd normally have had switched over to from time to time as it's just not worth drinking the pure piss. Corona, Birra Morretti, Heineken (more recently) and probably more at it.
I guess it’s like Guinness. Brewed all over the world. Same recipe but differing qualities of water. Can be the only difference when you think of it. Or at least should be!
The Grolsh brewed Tyske is awful stuff altogether. Like drinking sand.
Must be your favourite then so 😆.
the foreign Guinness breweries are still owned by Guinness though, aren't they? These continental lagers brewed in the UK are "brewed under license", they're really just licensing the brand, the local brewers alter the recipe to cater for the local market.
It's the same with Carlsberg and Budweiser brewed here under license by Guinness (though Irish Heineken is brewed in Cork, by Heineken, and is also **** compared to the Dutch version).

Budweiser is done by C&C now
The 660 bottles are generally Italian but be careful. The rip off aldi morrretti is more drinkable than the uk brewed crap
Any decent gin offers? Also suggest some gins
Scary subject title in the weekly email from Tesco: €25 bottles of beer...
Give Alcohol Action Ireland a break, they've achieved a lot lately, they're working on this but it'll take a while. 😛
The Prague brewed Staropramen is lovely, the UK brewed is muck. As things stand the 500mL bottles come from Prague, 660mL from the UK, but it's very hard to tell without a close look at the small print on the back label. This shíte shouldn't be allowed, it's deceiving the customer.
I heard the Guinness brewery in Nigeria (which is huge) uses sorghum instead of barley. But unless you go to Africa you won't be drinking that!
All Guinness in the UK and US comes from St James's Gate, there used to be the Park Royal brewery in London but that closed and has been demolished.
You'd nearly puke watching those Madri ads. A totally fake brand brewed in an industrial estate in England but pretending to be something else entirely.
Foxes Bowe whiskey was reduced to €29 from €40 earlier this week in SuperValu- not sure if it’s still available as my local store doesn’t stock it
Alas looks like it has ended.
It is stocked in Dublin Killester and Sutton - you can pick your store for collection on Supervalu site and your search is filtered to their stock.

Seems like 20% off wines and champagne has kicked in in Dunnes for Christmas.
Personally I love Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin. Keep an eye out, it normally retails around 45-50 but every few months you will get it for as low as 30.
Just checked there and it's on offer in SuperValu, Dunnes and Tesco for 35.
Yes and it has been done so for a few years now! The tapping heads for the kegs had to be changed because the Budweiser is now coming from the UK.
It might be the only beer that could be improved on by brewing in the UK.
Nothing in my local SuperValu either 😕. Any good deals on whiskey around? It's been a while since one came up.

I'd say hold fire for a little closer to the bank holiday weekend, should be a rake of offers starting either this Thursday or Thursday week.
Supervalu from Thursday are showing Jameson crested and caskmates for €25.
Sainsburys kicks off the October Bank Holiday tomorrow with 25% off when you buy 6 or more bottles of wine.
I’d say (hope) whiskey offers before the bank holiday weekend
jameson black barrell currently €35 in tesco - but could fall to 30 nearer the bh weekend
Dunnes
Centra
Supervalu
O'Briens
It's scary how MUP and AAI have managed to make spirits better value that a can of beer.
