    highly recommended,did you try it yet?.

    Not yet.

    Trying to slim down a bit after plumping up during the lockdown.
    Will definitely try it at some stage though. Fed up of waiting for the XXL Perlinbacher to come back in.

    I would say that Rheinbacher from a bottle or can beats the Germany-brewed XXL Perlenbacher.

    obviously when I say from a can I mean drinking from a glass!

    possibly a tiny bit crisper from a bottle but that could be just a mind trick :)

    recommend to try both can and bottle - both good

    I've heard beer is fresher from a can as no light gets in to harm the hops and also air can get in under a bottle cap.

    +1 on this. Rheinbacher for some reason gets less attention than Perlenbacher.

    Probably a bit of a personal choice but I like the more bitter flavour in Rheinbacher. Perlenbacher is that bit sweet for my liking.

    Unlike you though Glasso I prefer the cans of Rheinbacher. Maybe I’m losing it but it think it’s a different recipe. The bottles taste sweeter to me.

    Must do a blind taste test can v bottle.

    Any decent deals on Guinness?

    There was a report on RTE that they are resuming brewing since stopping in March. No wonder there is a shortage of offers.

    Bought into the hype and tried Invivo Sauvingnon Blanc (Sarah Jessica Parker's wine) and have to say was very impressed. Currently on offer at €15 a bottle in Supervalu. Bought 2 and had a 6 off 30 voucher so worked out at €12 a bottle. Would definitely buy again.

    I dont really get what is going on here?

    Is the wine in Aldi nice or are you just trying to wind up the previous poster?

    I'm speaking primarily about their reds, but Aldi wine is noticeably head and shoulders above Lidl, Tesco, and so on.

    My regular ones were/are:

    Tesco 660 ml bottles of Heineken sold out everywhere. It’s over 5% and tastes much nicer than the regular stuff.
    Only place I could get them, anyone know of any other place to get these?

    Agreed that's a nice red for €10. Seems to come and go quickly. Haven't given up hope it'll eventually come back in stock.

    Red stuff is 5%vol as opposed to 4.3% for the regular.

    Still a bit of a con though!!!

    I'd check the sell by date too. That stuff was ready to go on the shelves before Stevie Gerrard fell on his ass.
