Ok i want to get hold of some genuine aussie and nz beers, now i can order a six pack of coopers pale ale online but its and extra 10 euro to get it delivered and i'll be damned if i am going to pay that.
Is there any where in the south east or tbh in Waterford in particular that stocks these beers? I have tried Superquinn online and they do not seem to do them. Tesco online same story.
Yes but is that Tesco up around Dublin tube?
If you're down this neck of the woods, O'Donovans off-licence in Ballincollig have Coopers original pale ale and coppers sparkling ale :)
Are you doing a comparision with one of your own or what?
Nah m8 its for a beer review ;D
Not wanting to derail this thread but What is the opinion on Coopers Ales?
Are they as good as the kit versions? ;)
@John, I've only tried the original pale ale. It is very hoppy, it reminded me of taking a sip of beer when I was way to young to be taking a sip of beer ;D I wasn't expecting the bitterness but it was nice. I wasn't long going through the pack ;D Its a nice golden colour with a few bits floating around it!
I have never tasted a coopers kit ipa so can't do a comparision :'( I have a very young muntons ipa which is much darker in colour and tastes much milder, more like a British ale than an american ipa. So very different to the coppers bottle.
@deadman1972, have you tried thebeerclub.ie? They only appear to charge €5 for delivery?
@ Deadman - tescos ( maybe dunmore road one)
World Wide Wines - ( out by the hospital)
SuperQuinn - (Tramore Road)
Off Licence in Lisduggan ( beside Park inn on Paddy Brownes Road )
you'll find each has a different range of Crafts
Garry m8 its 10 euro for delivery nationally so on a six pack thats 20 euro delivered. :'(
I've just tried it again and it's saying €5 delivery?
Thats strange cause on the site it quotes 10 euro flat rate.
Is it because I is black??
Nah m8 its cause youre a dirty cork hoore :o ;D
Garry m8 you are correct, i went back and although postage is quoted under the shiiping tag as being 10 euro, on the main page way down at the bottom it states shipping has now dropped to a fiver nationwide :-[ ;D
If you do order in some Aussie beers using this, see if they have any Little Creatures beers - their beers are worth trying. ;-)
Just checked beerdoh and no they don't have any. May order a six pack as a trial run tomorrow just to check total cost and delivery times etc. ;D
Keep an eye out for them next time your in a good offie - if you're into your Aussie beers they're well worth a drink.
You should go up to Dublin and stock up in one of the offies up there, (the selection on that site is good, but only as good as a decent off licence )- stop off at the Bull & Castle and/or Porterhouse too :o I remember my first time... lol
LOL Thought of that allright Beerdoh but i would be getting the bus so i doubt i would be able to get very much. Might still do it anyway, can't say i am into Aussie beers as i have never tried any, thats why i want to get hold of the Coopers and others. ;D
They have Coopers in Walsh's Spar in Dungarvan!!
I think they have the Pale Ale and Sparkling Ale, they had the last time I was there anyway.
Snap Maf was actually in there yesterday and picked up a six pack of each, tried the sparkling ale last night, not bad at all, has a sweet taste i can't quite place though ;D
AFAIK Superquin have twoyees new - its an oz beer - but its nothing fancy - think its the backpackers choice over there - so probably a cheap and nasty one - thats been lauded as a a fancy world beer
Just did a review of the coopers sparkling ale and original ale and i thought the sparkling was an excellent beer, however the original had a baby puke smell to it on the nose but not in the mouth :'(
Compared to Pineapple chunks and Treacle Syrup Stout, I think that kids puke is a great improvement, nice lactose finish ;)
Hows our Euro Lager looking, stopped bubbling?
Looking good ciderhead no bubbles with a while now ;D leave it another while eh?
Lads, they have those beers in Tesco, Poleberry, i only got the IPA last week there
What IPA? If i get time tomorrow i will call in assuming i can find the place ;D
