Galahad is a cheap beer that saw a lot of lads through college. It's popular, can't say whether it's piss or not.

Once you get most beer cold enough they are all good. The better thing is that after a few it doesn't matter if they are cold or not.

Have you tried any of these? 😀

This is very true. I mean after the first <insert your limit here> beers, you won't care.

Haha a mate told me about galahad although he refered to in as galahead the next morning.I still might give it a shot tho.

Those small Finkbrau bottles from Lidl were the job back when I was in college. 5er for 10 of them. Throw in some Rachminoff vodka and you were sound for the night.

Bit rich for my blood at the minute haha.that does bring up the discussion of cheap spirits tho

Galahad and Finkbrau are good suggestions there. I'd add in Zateky Güs (pronounced Geese), or Carling.

oh yeah I've seen zubar actually but it's usually dear I thought? Like over 2 a can ?

4 karpackie at €5.50 is enough to chill, double that to get fooked up for peanuts.

Tasty beer.

Lidl do a nice beer called Franziskanr. I can't remember how much it costs but I think it was 1.70 last time I bought it.

Beers like Lech, Karpackie and Tyskie have been mentioned, which personally, I can't tolerate.

However, for more tender stomachs like mine, there is an Aldi cider called Cullen's which is a perfectly acceptable drink. It's nothing remarkable, but it's no worse than Bulmers, and is more reasonably priced.

Yes, another vote here for Karpackie. Very,very good stuff. Was at a Polish family's BBQ recently, and that's what they had in huge quantities.
Went very well with my huge quantity intake of burgers

You need the soakage of the burgers, Karpackie is potent stuff!

Karpackie is horrible
There's better in the 1 euro range

Irish always seem to be very anti Scottish for some reason.

Not a massive fan of the country either tbh (it's like a wetter and greyer version of Ireland) but I do love both Scotch and Tennent's.:)

Bonnie Scotland.........:):)

Is the "Zateky" completely silent?

Anyway, Tyskie, Aldi Rheinbacher, Lidl Perlenbacher Pils. All good, all cheap.

McMurphy

OP needs to get himself to a Polenez.

The Polish beer on sale there is proper Polish beer. Ie it's brewed in Poland, not over in England by Miller, and imported over here under the guise of being genuine Polish.

Compare a bottle of Tyskie from Polenez with one from say Aldi, Tesco or Lidl.

You will see the Polenez one has no English language text on the bottle, a tapered neck to he it with the very distinctive crown logo on the neck, (the UK version doesn't) it'll also taste remarkably nicer, and will not give you a pounding head in the morning.


Generally you can pick up 4 x bottles of most of the beer (kastzelan, Tyskie, Zyweic, lech etc) for €7/8
Cans are about a euro cheaper.

Good clean hangover free beer.

Tom Mann Centuria

A good cheep beer? What's your budgie op?

Bavaria, its my favourite larger anyway and just a bonus that its fairly cheap. Another bonus is that it doesn't give bad hangovers. Even after 12 cans + I'd be in decent fettle the next day.

bigwillie

Tuborg, works for me, 8 for 10€ most supermarkets. very popular in Amsterdam.

rossie1977

They sell this in lidl for 1.70 euro, sometimes 4 for 5 euro https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/142/1946/

kylith

I'm quite fond of Prazsky. My local Spar also do 5 bottles of Lomza for €11, and that's very tasty.

Outlaw Pete

I like Aldi's fake Budweiser... much nicer than the real thing.

tastyt

I like that new beer with pieces of candy floating in it, skittlebrau.

Neon_Lights

Boardsies it has been confirmed have an absolutely shameful taste in beer from what I've read, it's just a thread lamenting cheap piss lager, the only ones I haven't seen being praised are Dutch gold and Orangeboom

Tbf, when people are asked 'What's the best cheap piss lager?' you're gonna get people recommending some cheap piss lager.

thee glitz

Karlskrone is a euro in Aldi, or 8 for 7. It's a bit sweet, but acceptable. Hackenberg is a fine beer, usually 4 for 5 or 5.50. The local offie is doing 12 heinocans for 14.40, which is great value.

mikeybrennan

Primus isn't too bad either

I've tried Lomza unpasteurized and unfiltered, it's the biz! Fabulous beer, but maybe not for someone who expects the typical piss taste of the industrial mainstream beers.

ciantheod

Can't beat Lidls Perlinbacker, e1.05, 4.9%, tastes a bit like Becks. Way nicer that Heineken/Carlberg.

They're also doing a new 6% IPA which is the dogs conkers.

Carling isn't too bad in cans actually.
