Hoegaarden

    Really liking this stuff as of late but it's pretty pricey at my local shops - €8.50 for 4 330ml bottles.

    Is it only available in bottles?

    Has anyone seen better value around? I'd buy a few crates.

    Thanks

    It appears on draught in the odd place. Lidl and Tesco up North have the big bottles going cheap all the time. Dunno bout the South though.

    it used to be on offer quite a bit in tesco, have not noticed it in ages. I wondered if they had properly tried to market it here and then gave up.

    Dunnes have it for 6.75 for 4. If U have a voucher(10 off 50 or 5 off 25) it comes out at 5.40 or 1.35 for 330 ml. I like it! :D...I think its most shops but Portmarnock is where I get it.

    Hoegaarden is one of my favourite beers and if on tap nothing else will get a look in. I know some find the taste a little strange but I love it.
    A couple of years back you'd find it at least a few pubs but now it seems to be replaced by other beers. I find the price can vary a lot in supermarkets and off licences, about 6 months ago Lidl had 4 packs really cheap but then in true Lidl fashion you might not see it again for months.

    +1 for NI Tesco - saw 8 x 330ml for £9 which is probably cheap as chips. Used to drink a decent bit of it in London 20 years ago. Only problem was you couldn’t have 10 pints of it or I’d find that it was icky bowels time. I wonder if there was surplus yeast in it.

    Was only €6 until recently, much to the disappointment of my OH

    It crops up here occasionally in the big bottles in LIDL although I haven't seen it for quite a while. Seems to be widely enough available in big supermarkets. It's always in my local Dunnes in 4x330ml packs for around 6+ quid so look around.
