RRP from tesco is €2.99 a bottle in Limerick. No 5 for €10 offer. Is it 5 for €10 where you are. One of my fav beers at the moment.

I like the Smithwicks pale ale, usually €2 in Dunnes or Lidl.
Grafenwalder in Lidl.  I prefer the Hefe but they do a pils aswell. I think they're €1.89 when on offer or €2.09 full price.

Last time I was in Dunnes it was 4 for €9.

Tesco have a Czech lager at €1.29, use to be 89cent when I started to drink if first.

Corkcrew in Lucan have 4 selected beers for 10, last time, got big bangin ipa, dirtwolf from victory, a cleverman stout from wexford, and centennial ipa form founders, was delighted with myself! Would just get 4 dirtwolf if it was there again, but was good to see big bangin ipa live up to the hype!

I still find Pratzy at 4 cans for five euro impossible to beat.

I'll second the Crafty Brewing Co range in Lidl. The pale ale and IPA are great. The IPA is a touch over 5 for €10 but really is outstanding at that price.

Tried them there recently and would have to agree, great improvement on what they used to be.
