The beer, spirits & wine forum is cheap sh*te

Doesn’t matter. Ablelocks is spot on. Too many opinions that are clogging up the thread. 1 post of a deal followed by 10 posts relating to the merits of something..... normally an “....acher”. It’s a pain in the hole in fairness.

Man Vs ManUre

Buck Whaley’s in 2008, €100 for a bottle of pi$s wine. What a bargain!!

It was an ironic joke!

I completely agree- the debate about people’s preferences is tiresome.

It can helpful if someone asks for a recommendation based on a bargain posted- but the pointless attempts at oneupmanship on your ‘taste’ is unnecessarily smug - we get it, there are some ultra refined pallets out there when it comes to drinking beer.

Agreed, but if you are buying in those quantities you are going to need a thread to yourself

Lidl have Coors Light 8x 500ml cans €10.

Yellow Dog

Not particularly a bargain but Dunnes have 5 Ltr. Kegs of Krombacher 4.8% for €25.

When I was in there yesterday I picked a few cans of Germania Pilsner 4.8% for €1.15 a can which is quite nice.

Insert joke here about my taste being 'a bit wooden'!

Sainsburys 100% definitely don't have it either.

Sainsburys offer until Tuesday - 1 litre Absolut Vodka @ £20

Had a look in Newry today- didn't see anything of any particular interest- there just wasn't any value in anything.

Tesco have 12 cans of punk IPA for 12 stg. Asda have dead man's fingers for 18 and red leg for 15. 1L of Smirnoff or Bacardi is 17stg in Asda and Sainsbury.

Picked up a couple of those a few weeks back and it was nice enough but was a shocker to see its brewed for Aldi!

The o'sheas beers (made by o'haras) in Aldi are tasty, and all under 2 quid

Its applied at the till.
Think they're cutting back on awarding Nectar points on products- their recent offerings have been pretty miserable.

I see Tesco have same offer on but up to 36 bottles

Have a look in both- Tesco tends to be a bit cheaper, but Sainsburys generally have a better range (and they're 'Taste-the-difference' own brand is really really good). Shop around though.

You're right, 5 euro a litre for a basic pilsner is nuts. Same shop sells Spaten 5x500mL for €10 which is one of the best pilsners around. So 5 litres would be €20. You don't get the 'lad points' of having a massive 'can' in your fridge though

mooseknunkle

Not sure if its a bargain but first time i see them,i got a box of 12 Asahi 330ml for €17 in Tesco earlier and at 5.2% its a very nice beer!
