    Guinness deals anywhere?

    €12.50 for 8 in SuperValu is the cheapest I can see.

    Dunnes have 15 x 500ml cans of Guinness and Carlsberg for €18 until the 6th of july.
    €1.20 per can.

    Apologies for being slight off topic but can anyone recommend a cider that is not sickly sweet or over fizzy (as I find those two & Bulmers)?

    The best "non-sweet" cider that I can find is Cullens in Aldi but it is still quite sweet.

    I love Longeville cider but at €4.50 a bottle, it's not for your normal Friday night out the back brew!!

    Anything a bit drier out there at a booze deal price?

    Thanks!!

    Every now and again Lidl have a French Normandy cider, 700ml I think, 3 euro. Worth keeping an eye out for it.

    I find the Old Mout cider to be a lot less sweet than Kopperberg and Bulmers, see it occasionally in Tesco and Lidl, if you're near the north can get 4 bottles for £6.

    8 cans for €10 in Tesco seems to be best right now. They are selling slabs for €40.

    Try "WOODGATE" in Lidl - its cheap and a decent Cider.
    I buy it regularly.
    Can't comment on the sweetness of it for you - Cider is Cider in my book I guess but definitely worth a try.
    A lot of people I know have tried it and stayed with it.

    I drink it the odd time and it's definitely better than most mainstream ciders, but still quite sweet. Rosies dew in tesco is another one try to see if it suits. Or inches in supervalu.

    I like woodgate, but pefer Aldis cheap one, they are cheapest in the 2L bottles. The aldi one has been mentioned/recommended several times before.

    I would prefer either over bulmers, and I am not bad mouthing bulmers, or "anti mainstream brands", I drink it no bother when its on offer.

    Savannah, South African cider is drier than Bulmers, I love Longeville as well and I'd quite happily drink Savannah, normally get it in O Briens

    Slabs of Coors (4%) in supervalu for €30. Oddly enough they seem to be that price a long time in there but only ever in one of the supervalus in Waterford. The other one never has them for some reason and it's not because they are selling out. Law of averages says if that was the case they would have been there at least once when I popped in.

    Darn. I didn't the Bitterol, only the Bitterol Spritz & the branded Aperol for €17.

    The Bitterol Spritz is handy as pre-mixed, but bottle really needs to be 1 litre... disappears very quickly!

    Got a few of these last time, and while it isn't as nice as it used to be, it still isn't a bad beer at that price.

    For those missing the German Perlenbacher there is now an alternative in Lidl.

    Oettinger 500ml can €1.09.

    It's brewed in Germany in accordance with the Purity Law and it's 4.7%.

    It's sold in single units so not a fortune to try a couple.

    All in I think it's all it's a bit of a booze deal.

    Interesting. Oettinger is decent stuff but used to only be available occasionally, and in 330mLx6 packs.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    They only had the Spritz and the Aperol in the first Lidl I went to ( Dundalk) so I went to the next one and there was loads of the Bitterol!
