Beers - Superbock and Sagres are the biggest brands, both reasonable.

Cocktails - cheaper generally across the Algarve than the uk, except for expensive bars overlooking marina's.

Me too Luis, love Cristal, wish i could find it on draught, even the local bars in our village only sell it in bottles , they do sell Sagres though on draught, both beers very cheap compared to resort bars. Cheers Jayjan

Hi Jayjan it is hard to find Cristal on Draught i only seen it on a few cafes and thats it,a bottle of either Sagres Cristal or Super Bock at my local is 50 cents just short of a pint glass:-)
Reply
Hi Luis its around the same price as we pay, 50 or 60 cents a bottle, big difference in price to the resort bars. Cheers Jayjan

Hi Jayjan yes you can see how much profit the resort bars make really...

In fairness to them,though,we should bear in mind the fact that a lot of these places only have a three month window of opportunity to make enough money to see them through a full year.
Don't mis-understand me - I think cheap beer is a wonderful thing :D which should be encouraged whenever possible :glynis - but I'm just trying to point out the economic realities.

The thing to remember is........it's still cheaper than in the UK.....and some may say even better beer..... am I right , Sagres?????? :rofl

Of course it's cheaper than in Rip-Off U.K. - but,there again, isn't everything ? :) ......As for quality,I'm not getting drawn into that debate !!! :lol: :glynis

Sagres or no Sagres that is the question hahaha but the monte velho should still be available as an emergency Cheers Jayjan

Can I buy Sagres or the other local beer in a supermarket in the UK? I want to get in the mood for my summer hols!

:lol: :pele
Reply
Yes, I get my bottles of Super Bock from Tescos or Asda. A lot dearer than over there but worth it.
Reply
Yep, bought Superbock in bottles at Asda last week. Pity you cant get Cristal as that's my fave. Sagres is readily available also in some supermarkets.

Neither tastes quite the same as when you are there though :cry:

Enjoy
