Where's the best place to buy brand label beer?

[laserblazer]

We usually get the small bottles of French bier from Aldi but our son in law is visiting and it has to be the pukka Guinness, Stella etc. Our options are Waitrose (probably expensive), Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco Express or Off-Licence.

 

Where would you recommend?

Asda do some pretty good deals to be honest

[CSNM-Carl]

Any supermarket really, they are always running different offers.

[box_l]

Dont Aldi do Murphys? I think Lidl do.

 

Nicer than Guinness IMHO

 

BoX

Asda are doing 6 bottles of stella 2 for £6

Hasn't Tesco got some deals on at the moment or is that just spirits?

[sidewinder]

Just go to any supermarket/offy

 

If you want to compare who has what special offer - Compare Supermarket Prices | Supermarket Shopping - mySupermarket

If it's good beer you're looking for rather than a particular brand, a lot of supermarkets run various offers on single bottles of real ales and such. Can't go wrong with a few bottles of Wychwood.

I'd agree with most people, the supermarket is generaly better value (expecialy if there's an offer on).

WHAT............ I have sampled many a guiness, some great some poor and some inbetween and have to say its still better than the varioys Murphys i have tried.... Might have to embark on another long "testing" process round many bars just to confirm this me thinks..... lol..

I do love the odd bottle of Foreign Extra. It's also very apt for Saint Patrick's day, since he's also the patron saint of Nigeria, the country where Foreign Extra was first brewed.

 

EDIT: I just have to find a Guiness hat with the Nigerian flag on it.

Tell the ungrateful g!t to bring his own if he's going to be fussy? That said, I do prefer real beer to lager (it is OK on a hot summer day) and I buy mine in Sainsbury.

I agree but finding dead pigs is a bit of a pig's ear.

[MYK-IT]

Morrisons are doing 3 (mix and match) crates of beer for £18

[cbeeching]

Yeah supermarkets are the way... usually can get devilishly cheap deals on cans of lager, though I usually go for the pick n' mix deals they have on bottled ales (usually the same at most supermarkets... like 3 for £4 etc).

 

Mmm beer...

 

Gah, it's only 1:25pm, and it's Monday!!

Please, not another round of boaring puns
