To be fair, you can get the Metalman cans for 4 for €10, which brings the price down to about €7.50 a litre. Still quite high but I won't mind paying it the odd time for the handiness of cans. If I was having a bit of a session in the house though I'd probably stick to the better value 500mls.

I have a can of this in the fridge chilling and it cost me near 4 euro in World Of Wines near WRH,a right fooking rip off but i love the beer,have had it on tap,so said sure why not.To each their own guys but you simply cannot justify that kind of pricing for any beer that is shall we say"not special"(figure of speech there).

If i am near a tap serving it i will get a pint but i won't ever be buying it again off the shelf as long as they price it like that,the brewery has a huge part to play in setting the RRP and to say i am disappointed in how this is being marketed is an understatement. :'(

IrishGoat outside of Dublin so where are these cans of metalman for 2.50 euro becaause i have looked around here and can't find them ? :o

I just thought Goat was referring to Dublin is all since they seem to be 3 euro plus everywhere else. ;D

Martins in Fairview is doing 4 for a tenner.
Drinkstore is about €2.52 with Beoir discount.

However Martins also has these 4 for a tenner and can mix them all

€4 is taking the piss although if people pay that price the shop would have no reason to lower the price.

Ferrybank Beer Club and Ardkeen Food store are doing it 4 for a tenner. It's also apparently €2.40 in Carry Out, Tyrellstown

Had an appt in WRH was the only reason i stopped in and  yes i agree however it was a once off for me in this case seeing as it is a local brewery,plus i can't often get to Waterford unless i have an appt so i never see most of these beers anyway,i was in Ardkeen shopping centre but can't say i saw any in there but good to know for next time thank you. ;D

Anyway feck it. Sure we can all make our own beer for about $0.50 a pint or less.
