do tesco sell that bier d'or?it was like dishwater to be honest but 20 bottles for €7.99 was hard to sneeze at.an old favourite of mine was oranJeboom,a dutch pilsner.was available in almost every offo in Ireland,then suddenly disappeared with no explanation given.same thing with those bottles of rolling rock for a euro that everywhere had it on sale.

Jeez I remember Oranjeboom, 6 cans for €7 and it was 5%! Nice stuff too. Some cheap ones which are decent to try out are Bavaria, Tuborg, Prazsky (Although have found the last few packs not as good/must try again :P), even Hackenburgs alrite. Theres another nice 4 for €5 one the name escapes me, belgian I think which is good!

I've seen bottles of oranjeboom recently. I forgot all about rolling rock.

harry Bailey esq

rolling rock was a lovely smooth lager,very easy to drink when chilled proper,orangjeboom was for getting poxangled with really limited funds!do refmeister was an old favourite too which disappeared from the shelves virtually overnight.

I believe Aldi's own brand is 75c per 500ml can. So it would have the cheapest price per litre iv ever seen at 1.50.

harry Bailey esq

does anyone remember those 500millilitre bottles of anvil cider?6 bottles for 5punts,rocketfuel!well for a 14 year old yours truly they were!

Carling is going for 1euro a can in my local offie at the moment. I've developed a bit of a taste for it in recent weeks.

m.j.w

poitinstill

kaiserdom in dunnes is quality pilsner from bamberg about 6.5 for 6 x 500ml. or as was siad galahad in aldi is equal to heiniken/miller etc#
perlinbacher in lidl nice for price too...these are a good step above oranjebloom/ bier d'or etc.

I'm drinking "Brasserie" from Aldi at the moment. 10x 250ml bottles for €4.50. It's 4.8% and pretty tastey. I'd definitely agree with the OP though re: Karpackie. It's surprising how nice it is considering its price.

harry Bailey esq

Primus is the one I forgot the name of, pritty decent beer @ 4 for €5. I also had a few cans of Royal Dutch Post Horn lager last night, another 4 for €5 down in the local Spar deal and its pritty decent, 5% too . Not seen that beer in years but I think they are re introducing it

Surely you should have noticed you had bought the alcohol free version by the looks of disgust you were getting as you walked through the shop??

Tennents is 6 cans for €5.50 in my local spar atm, not a bad drink either

I'm getting cans of Carling at a euro a can in my offie, its great I've been drinking quite heavily recently and its not affecting the pocket too much.

Tyskie isn't a cheap beer as such, but is great value (6.15 for four 500ml cans in Dunnes) considering it's 5.6% and tastes as good as premium Czech beer at a much lower cost.

pa990

This week LIDL are doing
4 x 500ml bottles of Tyskie for €5

Hotblack Desiato

Great offer. Odd though how Lidl only ever have it in bottles, Dunnes have cans, Molloy's do both!

Something nicer about bottles.... And the price ain't bad either

It's funny to have Lidl only doing bottles for a beer that's usually in cans elsewhere, and matching or beating the price for cans.
Bottles have higher transport costs etc.. and often a beer that is seeking a premium image (and price) is only available in bottles here, but will be in cans in its home country! e.g. several Czech beers

You'd need to do a blind taste test on the bottle vs. can thing, something tells me it wouldn't stand up! but if you prefer bottles, fine, I find them a hassle as they have to be carted back to the bottle bank instead of just put in the green bin.

I generally drink canned beer(larger/pils) in a glass, and bottles beer straight from the bottle.
Belgians etc must be in its correct type of glass
