Lidl Beer?

pancake_tuesday

Whats the best beer to buy in Lidl thats relativly cheap? Bottle or cans.

rubadub

Perlenbacher is 500ml bottles, 6 for €7. Tyskie is on offer at the moment, 500ml polish beer, think €1.69 a bottle. Cans of grafenwalder are €1.13 I think, and are nice too.

Bottom of the barrel is excelsior, 4 cans for €3.45 I think. Has unusual side effects

pancake_tuesday

Thanks Perlenbacher seems like a good one. Be sure to stay well away from excelsior!:D

I was in Lidl Friday night getting a few Tyskie (€1.79 a bottle and worth every penny)

They had Staropramen alright, didn't see the price tag on them tho

Even better! Spotted Franziskaner for sale on Sunday €1.99 a bottle.
Best by a mile

Cool! About time Lidl got some proper German beer in.Aldi always have a good selection and are
still selling Spaten Helles at €1.99.

pa990

Staropramen is €1.99

fobster

Tyskie beats Staropramen by a country mile imo.

This is often 5 for €10 in O'Briens these days, as is budvar.

Just noticed this thread and I have happened to get some Franziskaner weissbier in Lidl today. And yes it is €1.99 ... All stocked up for the match tomorrow


Edit ... had to try it tonight just in case it would not do for tomorrow night

Not bad ... has a touch of that clove taste that I love in certain Wheat beers. Nice initial taste but it seems a bit light in the finish i.e. it does not seem to last as long as I thought it should but I am no beer expert.

ENjoyable though and I am not dissappointed

Yeah, I'd agree with that assessment. Schneider Weisse is the next step up, IMO. I can get it for just 61c more in Superquinn and I reckon it's worth it.

PWEI

I actually find that taste of Schneider Weisse very disappointing.
Just my opinion but I find it lacks the flavour of other typical hefe beers.
It instantly loses it's head and I also find it more carbonated than other weissbeers.Its very smooth and drinkable but I don't think it's a step up from Franziskaner. Different strokes for different folks I suppose!

Is Franziskaner still for sale in Lidl? I stopped into buy some earlier - no sign.

Seems to be gone from my local Lidl for the past week and a half it's one of the only beers I like too.

Jordan Berbatov

cannot emphasise this enough STAY AWAY FROM EXCELSIOR. Stupidly bought 48 cans for oxegen last year, never ever again.

pa990

seems to a shortage of Franzikaner in both lidl and aldi.
No sign of it in aldi, and i picked up the last 10bottles in lidl., at a bargain 1.69 per bottle

Controversial!

PWEI

Franzikaner was only sold in Lidl not Aldi,Aldi sell Spaten.
Most good off licences sell Franzikaner,saw it in Sweeney's in Glasnevin on Friday for €9.99 for five bottles. The Lord Mayor's Pub in Swords have an off licence and they were selling it for €8.65 for five bottles which is the cheapest I've seen it anywhere.

Redmonds have this deal on Fransiskaner, Staropramen, Warsteiner, 1791 and a few other 500ml bottles, pick any 5 for €10
