    I think the Mickey Martin ( Augustinian Lane, Thomas St. ) has some in stocks , ( at least it had some a couple of days ago ).

    Try Foxys on Bedford Row, they often have/had promotions with it there and back in the Still House. Decent taste I must say.

    They do.

    I has a slab of it a few months ago and gave away 22 bottles.

    Each to their own but i thought the stuff was rank.

    Tried this after drinking a few pints of Heineken one night and thought it was a huge improvement.

    What's the Aldi version called?

    I like one or two Desperados on a night out before drinking 'real' beer. It's too sweet to be drinking all night.

    Years ago, a friend of mine was a very fussy drinker, wouldn't touch beer and could only drink Cider. On a holiday in Valencia and with no Cider to be got he was getting wasted most nights because he was drinking vodka with a mixer. Someone recommended Desperados and that got him past his fear of the beer.

    I think it's one step above alcohopops and not a real beer.

    Actually i think Lidl stock their own version at the moment too.

    I think it's called something like Tequinto

    4 bottles for a fiver IIRC:)

    Tescos and Fine Wines stock it but why you'd want to drink it is beyond me! Each to their own though I suppose!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭Vanolder


    Terrible , terrible beer..... But most of the fine wines stores should have it


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,206 ✭✭✭dave 27
