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
