Aldi used to have a good Black beer, but not sure if they still have it.

Thanks, I'll have a look.  Don't need a lot.  I'm happy with Estrella but I've got a mate coming over for a few days who prefers a darker beer.

at Carrefour.  Why go any further?   The finest real ale in London and not bad here.  Also....think about this.....it is about 1.50 euros for half a litre !!    All my business chums in the City are livid as they have to pay GBP 3.50 to 3.80 a pijnt !! 

Where to find it?    Should I tell you ?    Well it's in the UK/International section along with awful jams, chutneys and all the crap I left the UK for cos I couldn't stand the expensive rubbish any more.      But the lack of real ale hurts, neven with a decent Rioja at 1.50/1.80 euros.  You'll frind Guiness and Mackays there too but the Irish rubbish isn;t fit to clean the drains  with unle3ss, of course, your throat is a drain  (discuss?) Cheesy

Thanks for the tip Colin.  That works out at just over a third of the City price (unless my conversions are up the creek).  Mind, with their wages it shouldn't bother them too much ?  Undecided
I never liked Guiness the few times I tried it in England but in Eire it's a different matter altogether.  Something to do with the water I'm told as the stuff you buy in England is brewed in London.

Colin,  Which branch of Carrefour are you referring to ?  Just been to the Amposta one and couldn't see it.
Thanks.
