How long would beer keep after the best before date?

so hope the guy ordering the 40 boxes is having a party,,,and soon,,,,,,,,,,,,:D

To be honest i hope he crashes the car on the way home, nothing too serious, just enough to make the beer non-consumable

Prefect_1998

got 4 in city west. small cans but well worth a 5, they are brewed in UK.

Dont worry about these going out of date to much. Its not like beer ever really goes out of date. I doubt you would notice much of a differance drinking this in a years time

Jasus they only started selling it today, you expect people to have bought it and started drinking it before 5!

Just picked up 60 cans in bray for 30 quid. They had a whole stack of them left. Lad in the shop said they were going fast though!

Alkers

Went to Stillorgan which didn't have any left, they checked in Sandyford and Blackrock on their computer saying Blackrock had 130 cases left and Sandyford had 40 remaining. Didn't risk Sandyford, headed down to Blackrock where they had about half a pallet left with a sign limiting four to a customer. Had only been planning on getting two packs but got four in the end, a steal for €20.

Got 100 cans for €50 in Athlone this morning at 10.30. A good few left. No limit on purchase. Tasting fine 5%. Unless air gets at beer takes a long time to go off. So don't be put off by self by date. They come in a very handy fridge pack.

adamski8

got mine in glasnevin. plenty left but only got 2 packs myself.
10euro for 8 guinness there so i got some of that too

gnolan

Can someone confirm what the price is supposed to be again? 5 Euro for 10 cans or 5 Euro for the 20 cans? Cos i walked out of O'Briens today with 80 cans that i paid 20 Euro for.

Told the guy i wanted 4 boxes, paid and then picked them up at the back of the shop. When i got home i realised that each box had 20 cans and not 10 in them.

Sounds like you caught them. Its €5 for 10 cans,but they are wrapped in two 10 packs. Well done! If you are honest you could return them!

Picked up a couple in rathmines at about 7, they had 50 left. Tried rathgar first and guy said they had sold out in about 20 minutes

Just picked a couple up in Glasnevin branch at 9-ish (beside Botanic Gardens)... seem to have a good few boxes left, apart from what might be out the back.
The missus wants to go out tonight, but I'd rather.... hic.... stay in and.... hic... do some tasting research for ..... hic.... my fellow boardsies....

HAHAHA you sly dog you!

Taste wise it may not be the best but not the worst either. Great value

Well after 16 cans of this I've grown a 6th toe on my left foot thats not quite right - I call it Pinky and it has proven to be harmless enough while improving my balance on the way to the fridge.....

- Jehovah bless Boards.ie Bargain Alerts - Shalom!!!!

Grolsch is sound. If you can get some of this you won't be dissappointed.

Alkers

Found it very gassy but didn't taste too bad at all, especial after the first few, roll on tomorrow!

My local O'Briens didn't have ANY liquor of ANY kind!
Just boxes and boxes of chocolates and Chocolate Easter eggs!
The lady in the shop told me it was prob the "other" O'Briens up the street, so Off Gucky goes to the next O'Briens.........
No beer there either! Sandwhiches only!

Are you sure it's O'Briens doing this?

tippguy

Lol, yeah Tippguy course Im messing.
I did manage to get my hands on 20 cans yesterday for a tenner.
Not bad, loads of better beers out there, but for fifty cent a can you'll hardly complain!

If anyones interested, I still swear by the 6 x Pint bottles of Frankfurter (aldi) or Perlenbacher (lidl) for just over 6euro!

Davexirl

About to go to the Citywest one hopefully they have a good few cans left

sioda

Got 4 boxes in citywest around 4:30. Didn't pay too much attention to how many more boxes they had but I'd say it was less than 20 anyway.

blackalicious

good work boards, got 4 boxes in cabra there, wouldn't of known cause they weren't advertising it in the shop, it still had the sign for 10 yoyos... anyway happy days have a dutch alcoholic friend visiting me for the weekend so this will work nicely

Funny I found it very flat.. maybe got a bad batch!

Raiser

I found that it had a perma-head, thick and bubbly down to the end of the glass like tenacious river-froth.

- Was otherwise about drinkable, definitely not one to write songs and poems about.

Small can fit perfectly into the back pocket to create a magic pint in the club though

Wasn't available in the Galway outlet.
