I like the Perlenbacher 8 as it's the only time you get the decent German version of the Perlenbacher and also 'cos buying 8 makes you feel less like a degenerate compared to if you're buying slabs of 24 cans like Guinness lol!

This particular degenerate won't need to be buying any 8 packs for a long time.

If Perlenbacher is in Lidl this week, the Polish 7.2% Argus should be in next week or the week after. Used to be €1.50/500ml, think it went up to €1.70 last year but still a great deal!

they might turn up. My place is like having an easter egg hunt, lifted a black sack of stuff and there was a 3 litres of smirnoff under it, found a couple of cases of guinness under a sideboard.

Be great if Tatra turns up in Lidl as well as Argus

Argus is a very nice beer,how do you know its in next week?

Agreed, it's incredible especially for the price! Lidl seem to have a regular "offer rotation cycle" if you will - any time the XXL deal (which for this thread means 8x500ml Perlenbacher / €7.30-€7.50) comes around, the Polish Week, which includes several varieties of Argus and the yellow cans of Tatra, usually follows within the following three weeks. It used to always be the week immediately after XXL (so could start next Monday) but last year it varied by several weeks. Always shows up within a short timeframe following the XXL though, so keep an eye out on the leaflets!

24 cans of bud for €24 in lidl they had Carlsberg and Guinness too but no prices displayed

I'm looking for Guinness at the moment if there are any bargains going please let me know

The slabs in lidl will be worth checking because all three were together so chances are they are €24

The Guinness is 24 but the Carlsberg is 32.

Feck paying that for Carlsberg, had a blast of them over the last few evenings and Carlsberg farts are terrible

Not half as bad as Guinness ones :pac:

(Maybe there's no winning)

Bulmers wins the fart test for me, herself mentioned giving up drink because the Carlsberg ones are so bad

Hmm, may have to turn the sarcasometer up to 11

According to the new Lidl leaflet... Polish Week is from Monday 14th Jan... No beer advertised in it though.

There is indeed, bottom of page 9 :cool:



No Tatra there but they often don't give a proper full reckoning in the leaflet so if anyone's looking for that I'd still give it a shot!

No Perlenbacher xxl in my local lidl (Doughiska Galway)only regular and this is not the first time :mad: They'll prob have it next week like the last time so picked up 12 cans for €12.50 to tie me over.

Message from publicans. Give up yer oul booze deals and come back to our lovely establishments.

The Vintners Federation of Ireland welcomed the indications that the government will move forward with the plans.

The organisation's CEO, Padraig Cribben says the move is needed to deal with below-cost selling.

"We have been campaigning for a decade now on minimum unit pricing, and we think it's time to move ahead and put in in place because there is no other remedy insofar as in the way the retail trade, particularly the big supermarkets, are operating," he said.

Funny how it says a 12 pack of cans will go from €12 to €20, cans of what exactly because it’s unusual to see a 12 pack of bulmers for €12

The organisation's CEO, Padraig Cribben says the move is needed to deal with below-cost selling.

if they want to stop below cost selling they should be campaigning for it, instead of this ludicrous MUP proposal which sees retailers cleaning up when the money could and should be going into tax coffers.

I would have no real issue with banning below cost selling, it is meant to be rare enough. I reckon some spirits are below cost but would just rise a little, alcohol is cheap to produce.

We have been campaigning for a decade now on minimum unit pricing

A quick google and I can find nothing about the vintners and MUP a decade ago, earliest I see is 2013. They have been against below cost, but that is a different thing. MUP still allows BCS to go on.
