Lidl doing multibuys on the can of spirits and mixers, 12 for €15, normally €1.47 each.
Passion Fruit Martini, Gun and Tonic, Gin and Diet tonic, may be other ones.

I'm not convinced the offer prices on that are updated in real time.

They had the powers 700ml @ €18 yesterday evening, so it's possible that the 1litre is @ €25

That two slabs offer is good value, Guinness must be near giving those 470ml cans away at that price. Bring back the 500ml cans and we'll talk...

69 cent a can is just incredibly cheap to be fair. To cheap to pass up to be honest.

I’ll have a can tomorrow evening and let ye know my thoughts.

I just don’t see how it can be THAT bad. I’ll know tomorrow though.

My guess is I’ve probably drank a lot worse for more.

Oh you probably have, look its perfectly drinkable. I just noticed a big difference between these and the regular ones. If it's really cold it would probably be better

Can I just confirm:

Tesco had 2x24 cases of Guinness cans 470ml for 35 euro - that in itself is an unreal low price.

And now, for three days only, Lidl have the same for 33 euro

68.75 cent per 470ml, or 73 cent for 500ml.

That is serious price deflation.

The advocates of MUP will be going mad.

Bought 2 crates of Guinness in LIDL earlier for €33, couldn't resist at that price, probably won't touch any until St Patricks Day. I'm going to frame the receipt and put it in the Museum Of Modern Drinking. Being the same physical size of normal 500ml cans makes bulk storage easier :pac:

Do these ones have the widgets? Or is that a silly question at this price?

2 slabs of Carlsberg for €33 is an outright steal.
Far nicer lager since they tweaked the recipe IMO.

Agreed, it used to be garbage, since they've changed it it's actually lovely.

So just to offer a little bit in the way of comparison I have now tried the Guinness 470 ml.

Taste wise I honestly don’t know what people are talking about.

Ive drank a lot of Guinness in the pub over the years and now all the cans from Guinness to beamish to murphys.

I don’t think many people would tell the difference between the 470 and 500ml in terms of flavour.

The head (and less liquid) is the main change. It’s probably three fifths the size of a regular on but honestly that’s not the end of the world.

Bottom line 69 cent a can is stupidly cheap for a drink that is 99% the same as it’s far more expensive 500ml counterpart.

I’d have zero issue buying more of these. Tbh the less other people buy them the cheaper the price so eh yeah terrible stuff. Lol
