Cobra box of 12 x 33cl bottles is back down to €13 in Dunnes. They had it at €16 after Christmas, they dropped to €14 about a fortnight ago and now it's back to €13, clearly they met serious resistance at the higher prices.

I haven't seen Cobra in any branch of O'Briens that I've been in recently, the guy in Blackrock (Newtownpark Ave.) said pressure on floor space was the reason. Not listed either on www.tesco.ie

tinner777 · 27-03-2014 05:07PM

cobra in my local telco at 15.
big bottles are 3.50 :mad:

Saw 8pk Cobra cans (500ml) in Molloys Francis St for €10.99 the other day

Seen this offer in Mace just opposite St. James's Hospital, might be of interest to people on here.

Nice one...must get out to Lidl in Limerick one of the days. Although there and back is 4 fecking quid on the bus so would want to be buying a good few...i'm only partial to one or two pints at home before I head out once a week. Such as tonight.

Have you tried the cider in Aldi - Taurus . Think its €1.15 a can (500ml). Says its brewed in south of Ireland (wouldn't surprise me if it was in Clonmel !) I think its nice and would probably struggle to tell the difference from , say ,Bulmers (brewed in Clonmel! )

Not a fan of Bulmers to be honest. Far too much of a sweet tang with an element of wateriness! Might pick up a Taurus or two when i'm there though, just to see....

Stella Cidre just made me go 'wow' from the very first sip. So clean and crisp with no lingering aftertaste like you get from other ciders. And it seems I can drink quite a few and not feel too drunk!

During the hot spell last summer it actually became difficult to find in town....big demand for it! And it was on special pretty much everywhere for 2 quid a go...five for a tenner, huge value for a 568ml bottle

If anyone can point me in the direction of a really clean cider like the Stella one, i'm all ears

Hotblack Desiato · 27-03-2014 11:53PM

Strongbow is pretty dry, Molloys do it and probably Tesco.

Next would be Linden Village

Less dry but still not sweet would be Druids or Devil's Bit, which are both about 6% and quite cheap and available in most places.

MonstaMash · 28-03-2014 02:52PM

If you like dry cider, this stuff is superb http://www.celticwhiskeyshop.com/Ballyhook_Flyer_2012_Irish_Cider-z-product-product-1749-context-search_results-page-1.htm

harry Bailey esq · 28-03-2014 03:04PM

kinda contradicting the thread title so mods feel free to remove the post,my ma doesn't touch a drop but occasionally enjoys alcohol free beers.i was visiting on Sunday and decided to pick up her favourite n/a beer in tesco phibsborough,€7.49 for four bottles of Paulaners alcohol free!!!!! in the same offo they have 3 bottles of belfast lager for €6.99 people always say most of the price at the point of sale goes on government excise,how the hell can they justify charging that much for a product containing no alcohol?

If you paid it, they don't have to.

Two reasons:-

1. Why should they charge less than people are willing to pay?
2. Non Alcohol beers sell in very low volumes. In one day Tesco might sell 20 four packs of (for example) Beer XXX which is a normal strength widely sold beer which has to be sold at a competitive price with each pack generating €1 in profit. A non alcohol beer occupying the same amount of shelf space might sell 5 packs on the same day thus motivating Tesco to seek €4 profit a pack in order to generate the same level of profit from the same shelf space that beer XXX generates.

bottles of branded soft drinks are often very expensive in supermarkets or pubs.

Yours were €3.74 per litre

In tesco A box of 12x150ml schweppes tonic is 5.55, so €3.08 per litre.

The NA beers are usually more expensive to make, they usually have to brew normally and have to process the alcohol out.

Also who says tesco were making much at all? it could be the brewer setting high prices. Pubs traditionally charge ludicrous amounts for soft drinks, non alcholic beers are one of the cheaper soft drinks in pubs. A proper pint of coke is about €8.55 in my local (to fill a pint glass takes 3 bottles, not 2 and a load of contaminated ice)

That makes sense actually.

http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/excise/duties/excise-duty-rates.html

Excise on beer is 22.55 per hectolitre per % alcohol.

That's 22.55 cent per litre, or 11.275cent per 50cl can/bottle per % alcohol.

For a 4.3% beer, the excise is 48.5 cent per 50cl

For a 4.3% pint, it's 55cent.

I'm sure you are all aware of the franzkaner wheat beer being 4 bottles for a fiver in lidl.

Patrick2010 · 29-03-2014 05:26PM

I think it was. It might not have been labeled correctly but all them charge the same. Picked 12 bottles up for 15 euro in leixlip yesterday. Never tasted it before, hope it's nice!

Patrick2010 · 29-03-2014 06:50PM

Yes, its a lovely beer alright, thats why I went to Lidl when I heard about the deal but the price was 1.89, no sign of a deal.

Did you not bring a bottle to the checkout to see what they were actually charging as opposed to what the shelf label said? :eek:

If I'd spent 5 minutes going out of my way to suss out a deal like that I wouldn't leave without checking what they were actually charging!!!

Seems to be a regular feature with this offer that some stores don't have it marked up. They should all scan at the correct price though
