    With everyone switching to the smaller guinness multipacks, how long before supplies of the normal widget run out altogether?

    Diageo Ireland is no longer the distributor for Bud here and stopped brewing it earlier in the year. It's now part of the C&C portfolio.

    Im really liking the Murphys now, have had a few of them lately.
    Got 4 Beamish at the weekend and its probably more "tastful" than the other two.





    I find the beamish more bitter then the Guinness maybe it was just the can, haven't had a Murphy's in a can yet I know you can but a single can of kilkenny drought in supervalu cant see it anywhere else[/QUOTE]

    Beamish is a bitter drink but has a taste unlike Guinness which I find terribly bland especially out of a can. Speaking of which are Beamish cans ever on offer? Always seems to be €2 per can

    Beamish are 8 for €10 in Lidl from time to time, including right now as it happens, but I think that probably runs out this evening so you'll need to be quick!

    Tesco crate deals were finishing today, unsure if they will just refresh the dates on the offer for another few weeks.

    No, the EU Single Market consists of four fundamental freedoms; people, goods, capital and services. But there are exceptions like with excisable goods.

    The question is what's gonna happen with regards bringing alcohol across the border come January 1st.

    If you bring it over yourself it is OK up to quite a high amount. Send it by courier and it is subject to duty and VAT even if the UK are still in the UK which they are not. However, during the transition period that ends on Dec 31st, it is as if they were still in the EU.

    I have news for you pal.
    The UK will forever remain in the UK until such time as they may decide to disband the Kingdom.

    Noticed a fair few unusual Gins in Musgraves today all marked down by 25%. Not a Gin drinker so couldn't tell you much more than they looked more craft type than the mass market stuff

    Technically, you are correct. But, minimal effort is required

    still 10 as said but offies are closing earlier these days (i.e. non supermarket offies like o briens, this is their current hours
    Store Opening Hours

    Mon-Wed; 12-8pm

    Thur-Sat: 12-9pm

    Sunday: 12.30-7pm )

    It starts selling at 10.30am in the morning, I had 10 in my head and had to wait around 5mins one morning until I could buy it, I was hitting the shop early to avoid queues in the first lockdown.

    Lucky that brilliant law had me wait 5mins, otherwise I would have been swigging vodka by the neck and kicking off fights in the carpark outside at 10.25.
