I've only had the rheinbacher from a can and it's a very good beer.

v good value beer.

the patronus weissbier in lidl for 1.49 a bottle is another v good one from the German discount chains imo.

Regular price of €24.95 in O'Briens- and at €19.95 online (from 8wines- similar prices from VinduFr and a few other sites).

You can pay 30-35 if you want- you don't need to).

O'Briens only starting getting regular stock in recent weeks, it was 30-35 euro pre and for most of lockdown because only select suppliers were importing it until quite recently. It was near impossible to get hold of for less than 30 after Christmas.

Reason I pointed it out is Supervalu money off vouchers are back so people can get a better bargain if they chuck it into a weekly shop.

The checkout and service counter staff used to keep unused vouchers that customers didn't use but I think since Covid-19 they don't take them anymore.

They always have a way around that. What some of them do now is keep the voucher you would receive with a purchase and use another one for your purchase, that way, you never even get to handle a voucher and the cycle continues for next customer

Cans usually get a bad rep, as people are drinking directly from them. Nowadays many small breweries are changing to cans as they feel it is superior to bottles, as it does not let light in.

Any time I have seen blind tastings done people did not find much of a difference, this was pouring the beer into glasses and then tasting.

Cans are usually plastic lined inside, but where you crack it open exposes bar metal, and I reckon this might have the "tin/aluminium foil on the teeth" effect

It is nice, but I wouldn't say its life changing either unless you're more of a white/rose drinker (I'm a red person except in hot weather). I much prefer it to the new Sarah Jessica Parker Invivo Rose.

I just get a hankering for rose every so often and have been disappointed by other bottles so prefer to get something I know I'll drink rather than risk it, unless I trust the recommendation.

Not a bargain but its 35 euro in some spots.

Thought it was a Whiskey until I looked it up, outrageous price for wine ðŸ˜€
Anyone try The Crafty Brewing Co offerings,their Lager & Stout are nice, available in Lidl.

Also seeing more and more of the 660ml beer bottles Inc Stella and Camden Hells , won't be selling much at 3.50 a pop though

It might be an outrageous price for vinegar but for a quality wine it is actual quite cheap.

Disclaimer, I’ve never drunk it And am far from an expert so I have no idea How it ranks, although I did buy 2 bottles today for the missus

The one mentioned earlier in thread. 25 bottle tops for 24 peroni.
I checked earlier in blanch, the had a box of 12 for 15 bucks or a box of 18 for 30 quid

Peroni offer is still on. Hard to find though, I was in Greystones today and they had none. On way home I popped into Liffey valley and got their last box

25-06-2020 12:27pm

Sarah Jessica Parker endorsed wine ffs - does it leave a cranky annoying after-taste like she does?

Rose is a wine type more often associated with hen parties and being gulped rather than savoured tbh

Jeremy Clarkson likes to swig 2 bottles of Leoube over lunch.

i personally would never buy a product with a "celebrity name" on it. im sure its good and all, but i'd much rather buy something else.

Supervalu.
Powers gold 20e.

Selected wines thursday friday only offer 6 for 50 inc Brancott Estate, Oyster Bay, Wolf Blass and Campo Viejo.

Bahanaman · 25-06-2020 1:54pm

12 x pint bottles of Guinness stout in Aldi. 24 euro.

Sorry but that's BS. Rosé is a perfect warm weather wine and there are some excellent wines that aren't bottles of sugar aka Zinfandel. Some of the best Rosé out there at the moment is in Lidl and Also. Lidl Pinot Grigio rosé is decent and Aldi has loads of great bottles, my favourite is Quisco.

I'm not buying into the Whispering Angel fad, trendy for the sake of trendy.

As for booze bargains O'Brien's have good offers on prosecco and some champagnes at the moment.

That Tesco Peroni works out at 1.66 a bottle if you buy the 18 bottle box and just 1.25 a bottle for the 12 bottle box.

€26 for a litre which works out €18.20 for 700ml

Anyone seen good offers on Champagne recently?

Preferably Veuve Clicquot?

rubadub · 27-06-2020 8:41pm

baileys strawberry is 15 in tesco, not listed as an offer.

Also in supervalu and is

WAS 20.00, NOW 15.00, SAVE 5.00
Valid: Jun 25th - Jul 1st

It is 22 in molloys and "nuts about wine". Must be trying to get people to try it during strawberry season.

Thanks for that one. Carling is all 440ml since this pandemic - not sure why this is so. My local off license still charging the same price for the smaller cans.

I think 440 ml is a UK size, whereas we have 330 ml or 500 ml.

Rows Grower · 28-06-2020 4:59pm

I see a lot of deals starting to mysteriously arise again just as the pubs are due to re open.

I noticed the distinct lack of deals during the lockdown when supermarkets had the market cornered.

It's not that I'm complaining, bring on those deals, just an observation.

Claude Greengrass · 28-06-2020 6:55pm

The Diageo Budweiser contract finishes on Tuesday. I'd say Bud will be 8 for 10 more often given C&C are also the distributors of Becks and Stella, think the uk Bud is stronger too

elperello · 29-06-2020 3:10pm

Dunnes

12 x Carling 440ml cans €12.50

20 x Budweiser 300ml bottles €16

Jameson Caskmates IPA or Stout €30

dubstepper · 29-06-2020 4:18pm

I'll never stop being amazed that people drink Budweiser. Any price is a rip off.

I've yet to come across any Peroni brewed in UK being sold here and i've bought and checked every box since I was made aware of it. The 24 pk i bought was brewed in Bari and is clearly identified on the box.

Got stung by the moretti though, knew there was something off about the 12pk bottles taste compared to the 660ml only for someone here to say it about the UK licensed brewing.

Carry out Clondalkin doing Moretti 500ml cans for 1.99, brewed in Italy

I had a Diageo Tech guy in my old bar cleaning the lines one day. I told him customers complained there was a funny taste from Bud. He said well there should be no ****ing taste off that, its water. Its made from rice ffs its not even beer

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

Claude Greengrass · 30-06-2020 3:09pm

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.

Claude Greengrass · 01-07-2020 8:01pm

Tesco Dun Laoghaire still have the Peroni 24s for 25 quid, bout 17 boxes left

+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.

Doubt there'll be any slab deals until August BH. Tesco 8 for 10 offer on til next week

brandonviewer · 02-07-2020 5:41pm

Offer of perlenbacher 8 for price of 6 back in Lidl from July 9th. Think it's €7.49 for 8 half litre bottles

What does Budweiser and having sex in a canoe have in common?
