A good cheep beer ?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Primus isn't too bad either

Strong, cheap and generally very tasty.

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.

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.

That's a recommendation of an actually good beer, that is cheap. Well played sir

Richard Hillman

Carling in my experience is the best for not getting hungover. My current drink is Tennants, which is decent on occasions.

B*stard. Those were the days. The first 10-pack of staropramen I bought when I was abroad was about 4 quid, and about 3.60 once I took the bottles back.

No wonder I get so annoyed when people talk about so called "cheap alcohol" in Ireland.

Tuborg may just be the worst beer in history, septic stuff.

Stella is good,see it regularly for like 1 euro a bottle,great crisp taste when cold.I like it alot more than Heineken. Seems to be on tap in Europe more so than Ireland,love getting it in the fancy goblets they serve.

Percentage multiplied by volume of container, then divided by price per unit is a good way of calculating the best quality cooking lager.

Tyskie

Usually about €1.65 in Dunnes or Lidl for a 500ml bottle. Decent strength (over 5%). Not too gassy either so you don't end up belching the night away.

Elmer Blooker

Nothing wrong with Vratislav, a good quality Czech beer at €1.49 a 500ml bottle in Tesco, never did me any harm!!!
