    Tesco have the Midleton Single Pot Still Whiskey set for €30, if you fancy sampling the €250 euro a bottle Barry Crockett Legacy.

    Also includes Green Spot, Redbreast 12 and Powers 12 John Lane.

    Makes a great stocking filler :)

    Confusingly, they name it as Jameson, but there's no Jameson!

    Just picked up 4 33cl rebel red ale in Lidl for €5.69. Usually they only reduce the 4 packs to 8 or 9. So can be a bit random.

    Got a 4pk myself too, dated end of Feb which explains the extra reduction.



  • Registered Users Posts: 759 ✭✭✭fmul9798


    Dunnes have dropped prices on several Irish whiskeys.

    Jameson Black barrel 30

    Jameson caskmates 25

    Jameson Crested 25

    A few others also, but black barrel and crested are decent "Christmas" prices...



  • Registered Users Posts: 727 ✭✭✭Debub




  • Registered Users Posts: 439 ✭✭mrm


    Saw today in my local Tesco, Jameson Blackbarrel @ €30 and Redbreast 12yr @ €50 (I have not seen this reduced before). Check yer local.

    MUP killed the drinks Bargain alerts



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 6,620 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sheep Shagger


    Yup....thanks to the nanny state. Wont stop alcoholics getting their fix.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 716 ✭✭✭macvin


    No it won't stop those who sadly have a dependency on alcohol.


    It will however stop many people becoming like those who are dependent on alcohol and that will be seen in a few years.


    It also has already seen a drop in anti social behaviour in many areas.


    What you do see now is better quality beers, wines and spirits being sold at very attractive prices.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,849 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Bollox.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    What? How?

    It's almost doubled the price of some drinks and it's not as if the new pricing has meant that other, better quality brewers and distillers have entered the market? What's new that wasn't being sold before and is better than the previous offering?

    This is the wrong thread for that, - maybe head over to this thread as I would love to see a link to the stats for the two points that you have made

    "It will however stop many people becoming like those who are dependent on alcohol and that will be seen in a few years.

  • Registered Users Posts: 759 ✭✭✭fmul9798


    Writer's Tears is 35 euro in Tesco at the moment, for what I think is a very enjoyable drop - certainly one I like to come back to regularly.



  • Registered Users Posts: 759 ✭✭✭fmul9798


    Eagle Rare 10 is down to 42 euro in O'Briens for any fans..



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 6,620 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sheep Shagger


    These deals look good under MUP?





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,244 ✭✭✭✭the beer revolu


    I'd be pretty confident that Tesco aren't selling below MUP.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,254 ✭✭✭Mav11


    I'm not sure about that.

    Heineken: The 15 x 500ml cans @ 4.7% content for €26 = €1.73 per can.

    MUP 500ml x .047 x .789 = 18.5415 grams @ .10c per gramme = €1.854 per can.?

    If my maths are correct??

    Don't tell anybody😎



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,421 ✭✭✭Frank Grimes


    Heineken is 4.3%, that works out at 1.69635 per can so if I'm doing it correctly so they aren't selling below MUP.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,254 ✭✭✭Mav11


    If 4.3% then you are correct. Looking at the picture above it looks like it says 4.7% on the side of the pack!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,421 ✭✭✭Frank Grimes


    I thought that too when I looked at the photo but the cans they are selling are definitely 4.3%.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 168 ✭✭9320


    Lots of good deals in O'Briens - saw it in shop in Rathmines on Saturday - decent range with a decent discount




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭donaghs


    I don’t know how long deal has been going for or when it’s going to end, was in a Molloy’s Liquor store today and they had Sierra Nevada 4 packs for €5.50 and 12 packs for €15. There was only a few Hazy IPA and California IPA packs left. Staff said it had been going and selling well for over a week(?), but not sure when it was ending.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭toffeeshel


    It’s short dated stock that the distributor is clearing out. Great value

    6 Belgian beers for €10 in Lidl

    A selection of different brands. Careful, this stuff is deceptively strong as I found out about 5 years ago on my maiden discovery voyage on Belgian beer. Drank the 6 in an evening without paying any attention to alcohol content. I still remember the hangover.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭perrier


    Jameson Coopers Croze €42 in Tesco now, thinks it was €70.

    Any sightings of this deal around dublin? The deal seems to be gone from their website so thinking I missed the boat on this...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,833 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    Yesterday I got Green Spot whiskey reduced from €60 to €36 - this was in Tesco Oranmore (none left unless they restocked today)

    checked the limerick stores today, but all at €60, so this may not be nationwide (yet?)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,805 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    That's the kind of discount you see in Tesco on a discontinued line. Hard to say if it's just dropped in that store or all Tescos. Online it still shows at €60.

    I see this Teeling miniature set as reduced to clear online

    In Lidl today I found some St-Feuillien Blonde beer (7.5%) at €8.99 for 4x33cl. I’m halfway through one and I think it’s better than Leffe.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,541 ✭✭✭✭Krusty_Clown


    Reminds me, LIDL were also selling Leute Bockbier (which rates pretty well) for €3.99 for 4 bottles, which at 7.5% must be on the wrong side of legal, but right side of bargain!

    Lidl also selling Gulden Draak triple at the moment, 4 pack for €10.99. You'll pay at least €4 a bottle for this in an off license.

    Eagle rare 10 back at 40 euro in O'Briens

    25% off champagne in Dunnes.

    Jameson Coopers Crozer - reduced to clear from €70 to €28 in tesco

    saw a label in Roxboro Limerick for it, but none on shelf and none in the other limerick stores either. Might be store specific, but may be available in other stores around the country.

    the other versions, Blenders Dog and Distillers safe, are still marked and scanning at €70, but in a couple of the stores weren't on the shelf now - it could be that this range is not going to be sold anymore so these may also go on clearance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭flended12


    I'll revive this thread as i recently put an order in with https://craftcentral.ie/collections/wheeler-dealer and in particualr their wheeler dealer section. Delighted with the purchases, especially the price on some.

    Great service too from staff there as my online purchase effort wasnt working but a quick email and a phone call received.....beer on the way!!



  • Registered Users Posts: 759 ✭✭✭fmul9798


    Extremely limited audience, but who knows, may suit someone on here.

    Joyce's knocknacarra (Galway) have about 50 percent off spirits as they are emptying the stock for tesco switchover. Be aware what is left is very, very limited, but if you want Irish craft gins for 25ish euro etc, maybe you'll want something they have.

    I confess to purchasing the last of their Eagle Rare 10 at 29 euro, so I left very happy. No other bourbon or "mid to top shelf" stuff. For whiskey that was left, a few, not many. Johnnie walker white 25 euro (loads on shelf, I didn't bother with it after reading reviews). Sailors journey was 25, so grabbed that to try it. Loads of tipperary NAS at 30 euro which isn't different to Aldi reduction way back, didn't bother with it.

    They had copperhead gin for 23 or 24 euro (500ml of course), so picked that up too.
