    Similar for me. I only use Parcel Wizard. Package showed up long after I had given up on it. It seems my package was wrongly delivered to Parcel Motel not Parcel Wizard. They are on the same street in Belfast apparently. Eventually someone somewhere figured it out and it was delivered to me

    Craft Central have Eight Degrees Citra 440ml in their 4 for 10, which is pretty decent, so a crates worth works out at 60 quid. Saving of 20 quid if you were buying direct from Eight Degrees.

    Parcel Motel is gone to sh*t alright.

    Every box I get from them now is ripped open and left in an awful state which is infuriating if you’re ordering a gift for someone and I’ve heard on a number of occasions of things going missing or showing up broken.

    I’m not just referring to alcohol in the above by the way- it’s everything that seems to pass through parcel motel these days

    Is there a reason they are checking everything?

    Their is an active thread for Parcel motel/wizard etc in the couriers forum for issues with their service. This thread is big enough without that, not to mention any issues with importing.

    Back on topic please

    I was keeping an eye on the Guinness too.
    Have a screenshot of it saying it's meant to be on from today until July sometime.. but it seems they have moved the goalposts yet again.

    Usually they end an offer early but this is the first time I noticed them promising an offer and not even starting it then

    Just left Lidl Bray (third lidl store in a hunt of hammock on a stand) and thought the Carlsberg was good value.
    20 x 300ml bottles for 17.99

    Heineken was 20 x 300ml bottles for 21

    Edited to say I must have read the boxes wrong, I don't think they come in 300ml bottles, must be 330ml bottles

    The Heineken are 330ml.
    Recently lidl had a lot of Heineken x24 of 365ml for €25. That was very nice deal.

    It's worth noting that the case of 20 x 330ml gives you 20 x 30 ml = 600ml extra or the equivalent of 2 extra bottles compared to the case of 20 x 300ml.

    Ultimately though it's down to taste and you should buy the beer you prefer to drink.

    Luckily for me I like both :).

    these were 355ml and presumable intended to be sold in pubs so sold to the supermarkets instead of letting them go out of date. Aldi had them to but were more expensive.

    I dont know if it will or wont come within the allowable weight/dimensions but in any case it will likely be on the limit of those restrictions. I was just curious as to what the overweight/oversize charges were in the event that I would have to pay.

    Fingers crossed they'll be within the limits though

    How did you get on? Any charges?

    It's all relative tbh, at the price point it's decent and well above a lot of the more expensive whiskey from new suppliers.

    The powers offer above may be better for a more seasoned whiskey drinker.

    And going back to the bargains, Powers three swallow is 33 in SuperValu at the moment, fantastic stuff and nothing would beat it at the price.

    Powers 3 Swallow is an absolutely superb whiskey. And at €33 is an absolute steal.

    Very very underrated whiskey.

    Honestly there is no reason for the snobbery. If they think Jameson is mediocre they should try entry level scotch or bourbon. Jemmy is decent for the price point (even more so at €20).

    Just been in Dunne’s and got the Powers at €20. They have some decent bargains. Redbreast 12 for 57, Powers Johns lane at €61 and a fiver off others including Green and Yellow spot. I picked up The Irishman founders reserve for €30. Will be back tomorrow with my €10 voucher for the Redbreast!

    Last time I had the Rheinbacher I found it a bit rough and really fizzy, but that was a really long time ago as well. The Perlenbacher, even the normal every day 6-pack x 500ml they do, is actually surprisingly decent.

    Aldi Rheinbacher is better than Lidl Perlenbacher imo, even prefer it over the brewed-in-Germany XXL Perlenbacher

    The Rheinbacher even tastes decent from the cans.

    Has more of a pilsner malt taste than the Perlenbacher which is a wheat taste.

    Perlenbacher I find to be just too sweet. Maybe to do with the wheat you mention above.

    Rheinbacher on the other hand definitely more bitter. Feels like a more true reflection of what a pils is supposed to be and it’s sooo cheap.

    Would love one right about now tbh

    it's not really a true Pilsner but it's decent stuff for sure and especially for the price.

    If anyone is in a border area- you might be pleased to note that Sainsburys have a plethora of Jack Daniels 70cl bottles on special from Wednesday
    • Jack Daniel's Tennessee Apple Liqueur 70cl
    • Jack Daniels' Tennessee Fire Cinnamon Whiskey 70cl
    • Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey Whiskey 70cl
    • Jack Daniel's Whiskey 70cl

    All @ £16 a bottle from Wednesday- quota of any 3 bottles per customer.

    Sterling is back up at 90p- so its remarkably good value.
