Title: 24 Blue Moon Seasonal Colection, Winter Abbey Ale for €19
Post by: LordEoin on September 20, 2013, 11:28:02 PM
If you're feeling lazy or just restocking your store of homebrews (I'm both at the moment) head into the Abbott's Ale House.
As the title suggests, they're selling boxes of 24 (4X6packs) for €19.
In true Abbott's style, they're past their best before date (hence the low price)
But that's a best AFTER date in my opinion  ;D

The beer is typical of a blue moon, but with a nicer body and slight caramel finish.
It also packs a punch at 5.6% although you wouldn't notice it at all from the taste.

Beats a €20 box of miller from supervalu, that's for sure...

Best ever was when they were selling Korbinian for a yoyo a pop because it was past it's best "before" date. Now that was a real Oktoberfest beer!

Seems that Abbott ale house must have a big stockpile of blue moon beer  ;D

I remember them selling it back in july and I was glad of the cheap beer at the time.

Just finished the last bottle of a 6 pack on sunday night so might go back in the next few days if the deal is still going on.

It is also worth looking through the plastic buckets on the floor for reduced price beer too, I have come across a few gems that way  ;)

I wonder how many people go to the Abbott's for 'fresh' beer...  ;D

 I picked up 24xSeasonals for EUR20.
They still have loads.
I asked 'how out of date?'.
They looked at the floor as they said '2 months'

Yeah, the Abbot's fairly good for those alright, although they could do with getting some more Cantillon in!
