    But that's not really what anyone's saying, if you've only a few euro to spare rattling around in your pocket, and you want to get drunk, there's still some great beers for your money. Didn't someone mention a pack of Leffe for 4.99 in Lidl? Silly cheap for a decent Belgian beer, not quite my thing but you get my point, and I do seem to remember getting Spitfire in Lidl for 1.50.

    Nobody is saying buy a crazy expensive tenner a pop beer to show off how refined they are, but it's being taken that way.

    Oh sure look, I know well that people have some kind of chip on their shoulder over "beer snobbery", I've been called one myself, and there has been a bit of over-reaction, but the second reply to the OP was "Life's too short to drink crap beer" with no helpful suggestions. I'd hazard a guess that it might be the tone of some of the posts that are getting people so annoyed, but people have also been suggesting beers that cost upwards of €2 or recommending drinking one nice beer rather than three cheap ones or spending the extra euro. It's just not very helpful and it doesn't come across well.

    That said, there have been some great suggestions, and as far as I see the OP has thanked them all.

    I'm going to warn people off hackenberg as well, think I saw it recommended earlier, blech, yuck, rotten stuff and terrible hangover

    The one I'm drinking right now, local microbrew at $1.32 a pint...I just invested the $52 upfront...:D

    I'd drink that Leffe if I only had a fiver.

    If I only had a euro to spend on beer...I'd probably not bother with a beer or get my ass to the Czech Republic.

    One dollar 32 cent is worth one euro,i accept your answer. :cool:

    Funny you should mention it, but I'm planning to brew my own soon, nothing fancy but it'll be a fun thing to do and I'd get a good few beers out of it. I think you get something like 40 pints out of your standard homebrew kit

    so really, brewing your own IS a really cheap way to get beer, you just have to put in a little effort and patience ;)

    Try it. Let us know how you get on...

    It's the taste of beer not the price. That said, would you eat a steak I sold you for €1.05...?

    I quite like Dutch Gold. Tastes like nostalgia and, let's be honest, is no worse than all the other generic lagers (Heineken, Bud, Carlsberg etc) that you get in your average pub and club.

    I'm not a huge fan of the craft beer\ale market. I mean, they taste alright like, but not enough to be paying large amounts for them.

    Aye I know, I'm just saying Mads, for some reason you can tend to rub sensitive people up the wrong way :P some people probably came here specifically to whinge about beer snobbery and that didn't help


    (please don't argue at me)

    4 packs (bottles) of Leffe or Hoegaarden in Lidl for €4.99.

    They never have the Hoegarden in stock!

    Also Prazsly is the numero uno cheap beer!

    Prazsky is always a safe bet. Very cheap most of the time. Its €1 a can in o'briens in donnybrook at the moment. Not the worst out there either(although it is close).

    Its really rewarding.

    I have a batch of 12% cider aging since May. Its potent stuff and tastes better than any cider i have ever drank.

    Equipment and ingredients cost me about €70, bottles i had already, crates i liberated from a pub. The next batch will cost me €20 as i only need the apple juice.

    I'm far from a beer snob, and would drink stout from a farmer's welly. But the O'Hara's Pale Ale in Aldi is lovely tack. It's about €1.80 per bottle. It costs about the same as a 6-pack of Heineken, but I much prefer the taste of it. Galway Hooker is nice as well. I'm developing a taste for beers not produced by the big breweries. Just because they are Irish, and produced by a man with a beard in a shed in Outer Leitrim doesn't automatically make them good. I'm still happy to go to a pub with good company and the usual beers over a place where I've to make the epicness of the beer I'm drinking the central point of conversation.

    I like Weissbier, and I thought the Grafenwalder Hefe Weissbier from Lidl was solid at around €1.15 a can IIRC. Fruity, needs to be served as cold as possible, I thought. The Pils is around €1 a can, too, and both are German "Purity Law" beers.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Why would you even consider buying that ****e when you can buy 20 bottles of Heineken for €20 in Aldi?

    Its for bums and wino's only. Have a bit of self respect man!

    The German 'Purity Laws' are up there with Denny's 'Irish Style Ham'.

    Agreed. Are you sure it was pulled? I thought Anheuser–Busch/InBev bought it

    Was that in reply to my post? Heineken's a Lager, and I'm bored of Lagers.

    Heineken!!!

    F*ck that Sh!t - Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!

    Seen it for sale in the O'Donovans on Summerhill North, here in Cork
    Yet to try it, but it's bound to be dirt cheap


    Another supporter of Praztky here
    Either that or Carling if I need something cheap and easy to drink at a party

    Showed up to a party before with that Germania stuff and got a fair few weird looks

    Only bought the stuff as cool things end in Mania
    like.... Wrestlemania..... Pyromania... Nymphomania and so on

    Grolsch is a grand lager and often found in bargain baskets in offy's for some reason.

    Rolling Rock was a godsend back in the day

    I'm actually drinking tuborg from a can right now. It's not that bad. A little watery perhaps.

    I find fosters the nicest cheap beer
