This week Lidl are selling Turkish and Greek products. Borek,Pide, Baclava, Kofta, ect and draught Efes at £1.49 per bottle. ;)

The sucuk wraps are fab

Draught Efes in a bottle???? :)

Bottled and canned draught beers are very popular Steve.

Thank you for the post. I have never seen cans of Efes in the Uk. Will bob in and give a review if any left :)

I know it's popular KKOB but my point was that as soon as you put it in a bottle it can not be called draught beer.
Wikipedia - Draught beer, also spelt draft, is beer served from a cask or keg rather than from a bottle or can.
Collins Dictionary - Draught beer (noun) beer which is stored in bulk, esp in a cask, as opposed to being bottled.
Oxford English - Draught Beer (noun) beer that is stored in and served from a large container, usually a barrel. Many people who know a lot about beer think draught beer is better than beer sold in bottles or tins.
The Beer, Wine & Spirits Association - When you see this term plastered on beer cans, then it should be called Canned Draught as the can contains a "widget" (invented by Guinness) to artificially carbonate the beer to make it taste like a draught beer.
Advertising it as such is like selling unsliced ham in slices. :)

Thanks for taking the time to post an explanation Steve. Having worked for Boddington's in the early 90's it was a bit wasted on me though. ;)
-
Bloody Hell KKOB - is there an industry that you haven't working in? ;)
-
You can learn a heck of a lot in the distribution business. ;)

Why would I want to pay £1.29 for a bottle of Efes over here. Can't stand the stuff over in Turkey. Much prefer Tuborg Malt,a much nicer drink. Don't suppose you can get this anywhere. ;D ;D

Can't stand the stuff over in Turkey.
I'm with you. You'd have to pay me a lot more than £1.49 to drink it.
The other thing that gets me is the fact it's sold everywhere in 500ml bottles. Hot summers day... unless you neck it at a rate of knots the latter part of the bottle (or glass) ends up warm.
The Spanish caña measure is perfect for hot days. A bit less than a half pint so cold from start to finish - thirsty? No problem, just order more.

What's needed is a "CONDOM", "Don't Titter Madam". It's a polystyrene sleeve or container that goes over the bottle and keeps the beer cold. They have them in Thailand and they work extremely well.
-
Yeah, they do work - but that would take away one of my reason to moan about Efes :)

Hoping to get a few Diggers (80/- Heavy) and some Deuchars in come September - DVLA permitting.
-
If you're that fond of Deuchars, why don't you get over to The Somerset House in Clifton ? :)

;D Nay lad. Efes would still taste s##t but Tuborg would improve considerably. :D

And just to add to the Turkey fix Lidl are selling Turkish Apple Tea, got some yesterday. 8)

No, it's a fake. I wrote to Lidl's head office before this shop opened to ask if they were opening a branch in Oludeniz. They wrote back to say that this shop is not one of their branches. It is a fake.
-
WHAT. !!! Fake.!!!!! :o
-
What about Sports direct ? Is that a genuine outlet? ;)
-
Yep. Just as genuine as McDowell's.
-
I firmly believe that Marks & Spengler is the real deal and so is Azda.
-
Delboy's shop is genuine, I went there to buy some holiday luggage. He didn't have any in the shop so he got the suitcase from the van.
-
Lidl chicken shish pizzas all round tonight, getting in the mood
