Just drove across Limerick City to get this (Childers Road), only to be told that the stock hadn't arrived . . . very frustrating!

Same here in Cork - no stock out yet. Wasted trip :mad:

To answer my own question, loads in Ballyvolane.

But as pointed out by the other poster(s), brewed in France so they can keep it.

Not sure if we have much in common if you're a Rockshore drinker (sorry), but if you happen to be on Keto/low carb, Smithwicks red ale is only 8.5g of carbs per 500ml - and tasty as f*ck too.

Supervalu

Really good Italian wine sale in supervalu. Chianti riserva down from €20 to €9 would be biggest recommendation for people to avail of.

Maybe Bud light if you can find it. O'Briens used to stock cans.
Also there is a stuff called Skinny beer
I think Rockshore may be the lowest cal one.

On a side note - Rockshore bottle 330ml is 9gram alc.
So next year it will be 90c per bottle minimum, box of 20 = 18e
I thick ill be drinking a lot more of this next year

elperello

Lidl

Molson

24xhalf litre cans €24.

Swingtop bottles in Tesco for 2.50. Think its the 4% stuff though https://m.tesco.ie/mt/www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=308861619

ablelocks

special offer on this wine - 6 bottles for 50 (instead of RRP of 89) in Supervalu

anyone tasted it before - i like ripasso, but haven't seen this brand before i think

there's also a 3lt box of Italian wine @ €28 in our local store - Barone Montalto Passivento Rosso (it's not on the website), but it's equivalent to €7 a bottle - std 75cl bottle is on sale @ €10

Barone Montalto Pass i vento Google translates as "Barone Montalto passed the wind". I think I'll skip this one.

Almost all of those Supervalu offers were very short lived and the ones still on offer aren't great. Blackbush @ €26 is probably the pick of what's left.
