Years ago that used to be regularly on sale in Tesco for a euro a bottle.

Claude Greengrass · 26-07-2020 1:46pm

Supervalu walkinstown had it, pretty sure Supervalu Dalkey too

Yellow Dog · 27-07-2020 11:19am

Claude Greengrass · 27-07-2020 7:35pm

Obriens: Carlsberg unfiltered 1euro a can.
4 x 660ml for 10euro moretti, cobra, krombacher, staropramen

The_Conductor · 28-07-2020 7:33am

Some branches of Tesco still have 4 * 660ml Peroni for a tenner.
Also cardboard boxes of 18 * 33cl bottles of Peroni reduced to 20

Man Vs ManUre · 28-07-2020 9:50pm

Is it the bigger 660ml or the 500ml bottles of straporem that are brewed in U.K. and to be avoided?? They had the 500ml in lidl today for €1.49 I think, but I couldn’t find on the bottles where it was brewed. I only say some reference to a U.K. website so didn’t buy as assumed they were there. I had the 660ml bottles once and wasn’t too crazy bout them, dunno if they were Czech or U.K.

Hotblack Desiato · 29-07-2020 1:33am

It's the 660 Staropramens which are UK brewed muck.

Both of my local Super Valu stores had Staropramen 500ml 5 bottles for 9 euro last time I was there. Not quite as good as 1.49 per bottle but still pretty decent.

Anybody think Dunnes trays of 24 cans for €28 on Carlsberg ECT will go lower at the weekend to match any €24 deals that will likely be around or will they keep it at €28 due to the €10 off vouchers .

good price for absolut. It's 40%, if it was only 37.5% like smirnoff that would be €23.44 per litre.

I'd expect 2 for €50 from Thursday for Carlsberg...I could be wrong.

Guinness is €30 in Dunnes, so €25 with the €5 off coupon. Should be €28 in Tesco this weekend but it is currently €10 for 8 in Tesco, which is equivalent to €30 for 24.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Sam. Would have hoped tesco would have initiated the 28 euro slabs from today. Doesn’t bode well. Maybe tomorrow.

BTW haven’t any Dunnes vouchers. Is there a way to get them.

Buy €25 in Dunnes, say a slab at €30 ot a bottle of whiskey for €25 - get voucher for €5 for next day. Return next day and buy another slab for €30 (€25 with coupon) and repeat daily.

Alternatively, they send them out in the post - €10 of €40. I got four each valid for one week.

I assume most vouchers go unredeemed.

This is not advertised as being on from today so I'd say Carlsberg is still €28 in Dunnes. Tesco have it for €25 but no vouchers to use.

The_Conductor · 30-07-2020 3:54pm

3 * 660ml Peroni @ EUR9 back in stock in Dunnes (Maynooth and probably elsewhere).

Tesco slabs were on offer on Tuesday. Well the Stella 24 for 25 was on anyway. Running till the 4th I think if I read the code properly.

casio4 · 30-07-2020 6:46pm

No slabs of Guinness left in Cornelscourt Dunnes and staff not sure if they are getting any in

Claude Greengrass · 30-07-2020 6:58pm

Redmonds Ranelagh:
Veltins 500ml can 4pack for 8euro
Jever pilsner 500ml bottle 4 for 10euro

Hotblack Desiato · 30-07-2020 7:20pm

Veltins is decent but not worth more than €2 a can anyway.

Spaten is nicer and always €10 for 5 in Dunnes.

Buffman · 30-07-2020 7:36pm

Tesco:
Carlsberg and Bud, 24 cans for €25
Heineken and Bulmers, 24 cans for €28.

It's actually quicker to click on the link than to reply to the thread and type out "Are they 250ml or 330ml cans?"

To keep on-topic, I may buy 6 tomorrow. Have never heard of them but for the price they are "ok"

Spaten is one of the best beers on the market in my opinion. Aldi do the 500ml bottles for 10 also.

Not if they're on a work PC and shopping sites are blocked

I spent a summer working in Munich 31 :eek: years ago - I didn't like any of the crappy lagers on the Irish market, but that stuff was like nectar. I couldn't imagine being able to buy it in my local supermarket back home

If you can find stock. Feck all in Coolmine.

Probably posted already.

White claw is 6 for €10 in Tesco. €3.50 each so it's a pretty decent deal.

I will give it a go this evening, 2 of each flavour for variety, lol.

Man Vs ManUre · 31-07-2020 7:49pm

Chinese beer Tsing Tao in lidl, 6 330cl bottles for €6.99.
Also they had kingfisher, first time I ever see this in Dublin supermarket. But it was near €2 for a 33cl bottle. They also had Vietnam beer can’t remember name, and Changi of Thailand, and Sapporo from japan, tho I prefer asahi over Sapporo. All similar price to kingfisher tho so not bargains.

Man Vs ManUre · 31-07-2020 7:51pm

I used to drink the big bottles of kingfisher on the island of Diu for equivalent of about 40cent so I just couldn’t pay €2 for a 33cl.

odyssey06 · 31-07-2020 7:53pm

Seems to be Seltzer season. As well as the White Claw Tesco also have:
* Kopparberg hard seltzer 330ml, 3 for €9
* Barefoot wine seltzer 250ml, 4 for €9

Spearmint Polo · 31-07-2020 7:57pm

Where would one find bottles of Red Stripe in the Limerick/Kerry region? Can’t find them anywhere.

My Review, drank in this order (for clarity no other alcohol was consumed prior to the test)
Lime...Pish, tastes like sparking water with a weak table spoon of lime. I was expecting this flavour to be best.
Raspberry...Like a very watered down Mr Freeze of the same flavour, better than the Lime.
Black Cherry...Nicest of them, doesn't seem as much gas in it as the others.

Overall gassy stuff, you couldn't drink it the same pace as beer. If you were on it all night I'd say you would need to be pumped out, perhaps it's more of a 2 or 3 drinks a session type of drink.
