Got one for my sons birthday party. Should be enough for Ten 5 year old kids shouldn't it???

Great stuff that, not called warstarter in my house for no reason :wink:
where is it please ?

Hi all. Busy drinking now but I'm a bit worried. Says on side of keg - after opening the seal, immediate consumption is recommended. Starting to get a bit fighty . . .

Get rid of the Mrs. and drink as much as you want :wink:

Forgot about to say - 4.8%

Great stuff that, not called warstarter in my house for no reason :wink:

Just seen :smiley:

Great stuff this!!! Absolute bargain. Heat

mmmm wobbly :-)

Pound a Pint!

keg of who ye lookin it :laughing:

Keg can be refilled if your a homebrewer

called wobbly in my house, for obvious reasons!!!

Wasted off 5 pints on draught of this stuff, not much of a beer drinker to start, pretty sure it was stronger too when I had it years ago

How long does it last when it's opened? My wife 'encourages' me to drink in moderation

My favourite pilsner for pennies! Hot! Will be paying a trip to my local home bargains with crossed fingers.

8.8 pints

However those purity laws aren't very reassuring

Can confirm a sighting of this in the Home Bargains in Preston (Cheapside); kind of wish I'd picked one up myself, now!

Had these at Xmas beer was flat and difficult to pour good price though.

Cold, can't find a glass big enough!
Nah, hot really.
Shame that there is no HB in Lestah - I thought that there was one - maybe closed down since I moved?
Envious of this hot deal (and thirsty)!

hot...I love this stuff but the only place I could ever find it was in a little garage up in Rawtenstall (only 60 miles from where I live) and it was £15... :confused:

Comment

Here here

Incase anyone cant find it in a home bargains costco at the metro centre had it on offer.

Cant remember what price it was exactly but im pretty sure it was 8.99 or there abouts (not sure if that was with or without the tax)

I would have bought some but having recently been to dusseldorf for a weekend i dont think i want to drink it ever again.

Picked up 2, just need to find a "beer hat" big enough to strap them to.

had one of these within the last 3 weeks from tescos, seen in edenthorpe and scunthorpe,however was £15.worth every penny

My fav beer, been to the brewery in Werl several times, and 'vommed' all the way back to camp :smiley:

Any in the 2large ones in bury seen ??? Tnxs

decent price compared to other mini kegs, but still compares poorly to can/bottle deals for value.

nice enough beer though

Nice' heat added

Any in Loughborough?

used to be the beer of choice when I was in the army in Germany. Didn't call it wobbly for nothing!

Interesting, do you have a source for that data and do you know how the data compares to beers from other countries?

This is on special at £11.98 at costco and I was going to buy about 4, so thanks for this. I can now buy an extra one.

was definately in scunny - i got 1
must of sold out

£11.25 in Tesco now too!

​Haha was going to say the same, but it's £1.136 per pint if we're being picky lol. Cheers!

50p a can basically, not bad value at all.

If my maths is right!!

Same deal available at Costco for £9.94 inc VAT !!!

I rounded up, i knew id regret doing so :laughing:

Agreed.

£10 / 5ltrs = 66p / 330ml.

No £9.99 + VAT according to the flyer on my desk.

I know it is pedantic , but it is not beer, it is Lager .
Good price for those who like drinking P water , though!
I prefer real ale or cider.

Lager is a type of beer.

Had this when in Germany the other week, pretty good stuff. However my favorite was called Brinkenhoff.

Have you tried it? Probably not. I prefer real ales but German Lager is a different league to what we get in this country.

These can be reused for home brew :wink:

Anyone know if any in filton bristol

So 9 pints roughly for £10
You would be better off getting a 20 pack of Carling or something

Agreed. German beers are brilliant. Lager in this country is an embarrassment.

I've just been watching a YouTube video about this. Glad I bought 4 kegs now!

Yeah, never bought a keg b4, how long once first opened do they need to be used?

At the top of the keg is the little air tap, it simply pops off if pulled up, then poke the piece of plastic underneath it into the keg. Pull out the rubber bung and tip upside down for the plastic piece.
Refilling them and sealing you either put the bung/air tap pieces together again then pop into the top of the keg. Or you can buy proper bungs for them.
HOT as empty mini kegs are around £6 each alone.

Depends how long you can resist................... Which usually isn't very long with me.

Litre - not pint.

Half litre actually.

Hope you drink on your own then. I'm a nice drunk, more likely to kiss you then punch you after finishing a keg in one sitting.

Being a gamer I thought it said Wolfenstein

Quantity over quality then for you?

Carling is poor, no, very poor in comparison to Warsteiner, and most german beers for that matter.

They are brilliant, I've 3 Hobgoblin kegs and 2 mini kegs (same thing)I re-use time and time again. Pours a great pint and spares are cheap as chips. Much handier than sterilising 10 bottles.

The beer will keep fresh for about a week in these. Just remember to turn the airlock back to close after you use them (not always easy after 5 or so pints :o)

I tried bottles once instead of a big keg, never again because it's such a hassle.

When you say keeps fresh, do you mean it keeps it's fizz (doesn't go flat)?

God help me "Great stuff this" gnats **** is better than this!

how do you pour from these? had one the other week. first half of the keg pint had very "european" heads, the second half was getting flat is there a particular skill for these or was it because i had just got it out the boot of my car getting it home and couldn't resist so it didn't have time to settle?

Depends on how much is drank out of it but it will keep some CO2.

If your using these for home brew, bungs for the top of these are 50p each plus delivery, buy several as their cheap as chips and can be useful. It can be a pain getting the original bung out, brute force is usually required.

Do not follow instructions (at least on the Hobgoblin kegs that I use)!

Open the valve at the top first and let the CO2 escape before you have your first pint. The beer will flow normally and not gush out if it were under pressure.

If you like a head on your beer hold your glass further away from the tap.

You've tried both Warsteiner and gnats pi $$ ?

None in my local homebargains in filton,Bristol. But even better they do have 8 X 440ml Guiness Draught cans for £3.99 ...

yeah sorry bro, me and a few others cleared it out just after lunch. Woman there said they may be getting re-delivery during the week

Sold out soon after lunch today. May be restocked during the week though

great beer, although these kegs are a nightmare to use- got one recently from tescos at easter.. the flow was either blowing out at a rate of knots, producing just a load of froth or just dribbling out... total PIA to use, which is a pity as the beer has been a favourite for years :smiley:

Haven't had any experience with these small kegs but having spent years in the pub trade full size kegs typically needed to be finished within a week of opening so shouldn't be different here.

£12 at Costco this week..

<3This is probably the best deal I have ever seen on here!

Read my post above.

Better suited for five 10 year old kids tbh

Yes I got the data from here

[url=sustainablepulse.com/2016/02/25/german-beer-industry-in-shock-over-probable-carcinogen-glyphosate-contamination/]link[/url]

But the story was reported on more "reputable" sites like Reuters too, just without the raw data, instead it featured dismissive comments from the brewers.

I don't know how this compares to other countries unfortunately. I guess they don't even bother to test.

Oh ok,the girl who was putting out alcohol said she never seen it before.

They sell this at Trades Club Hebden Bridge at about £4 a pint

Be a little more carefull what you display?

No Home Bargains in Leicester. A decent sized one with an alcohol section in Loughborough Town Centre though.

Worth a check for sure.

home bargains doncaster town centre got some in fathers day area, today 2 5 16............i got 1
hiccy day today

Saw one on the shelf in Kettering branch, today. Far left corner top shelf - whoever wants it.

Thanks, have Bentley Bridge Wednesfield.

I've checked their website and there's nothing on it. Wouldn't mind being able to take advantage of this........-)

Don't understand how so many people find this hot. At £1.00 per half litre, this is a very average price for what at 4.8% ABV and accompanying taste/reputation is a very ordinary beer AT BEST. Maybe it's because it comes in what is a very large tinnie and gives the impression that it is more than it really is? Cold, very cold.

Exactly how you should serve it then :smiley:

It's actually a v nice beer and one that isn't available in many places. Obviously not as cheap as carling or fosters but I don't drink that for the same reason as I don't eat asda smart price bread.

Picked up a load this morning ready for summer bbqs. With hubby being in the forces and having a few postings in Germany it's the only beer we have in this house. Fantastic bargain been as we were paying 3 for fiver when on offer. Just need the sun to make a appearance now X

I was in Costco today and this was £11.98, so £10 is a good deal.

Heretic! Why would anyone ever buy that ****?

None in rutherglen or parkhead stores (Glasgow)

However did see it at Costco for £11.98 if this helps anyone

ya should have drunk it straight away instead of waiting years to drink it :stuck_out_tongue:

My maths was wrong, more like a quid a can.

Cheaper off buying a 12pk of beer but still HOT for this price for one of these and the fact there cool to have for a BBQ or so :stuck_out_tongue:

The question should be if its none of this "British brewed rubbish" what the hell is it doing in a cheap and nasty British discount store at a much reduced price...Ask yourself that!!!!

Where have you been for the last 3 days Mars!!
Been lovely for days now, no pleasing some!

Anyone seen any at the Swansea branches? Need to get one before Pete!

The blame for my 4th worst hangover ever lies at the door of Warsteiner. 2nd worst from beer alone. Hence, this is an excellent deal.

I rank my hangovers.

Thats all the chemicals in it, the more chemicals a beer contains the worse the hangover will be!

Love this beer - Got on the other day thanks OP

Ha ha. Yep it certainly is nice now so will be having a bbq tommorow X

Must be ex service calling it that lol

More to do with the alcohol content and dehydration......The whole "chemicals thing" is massively overplayed. Besides this complies with the purity law, Germany sets a good example here it WILL only have water, hops, yeast and malted barley or wheat. They cannot even Americanise it with rice or sugar.

Man up, learn to love your hangovers!

Loads available in Parc Tawe Swansea

got 3, great stuff!!!

lovely beer

Gotta love an offer on wobbly. Favourite of BFG servce personnel for many a year.

Agreed. Good old days :smile:

is this still on shelves?

I guess there might be scraps of it around in some branches still, if you're lucky; no sign of it in the Preston branch for me when I looked the other day though, unfortunately.

Non in Sheffield

is it still going

Ha ha, you've served

Oh dear, just had a keg?
This thread is over a year old. Why dig it up!!
