I see Dia sell 473mml cans of it as well for 900 pesos!! Crazy pricing.
Indeed! it was about 400-450 the can and 1000 the bottle when we first saw that new brand. Then next week the can was $900 and the bottle stayed at $1000. Maybe the tin costs more than plastic? Definitely looks more elegant than brown plastic.
Oh sorry.....Osaliva.
Still reminds me of saliva! 
I used to buy 1890 and thought it was okay. I shall have to buy myself a bottle of Saliva to see.
Saliva? Like in the water in our mouth? Good lord! You are really committed to the booze cause, UK Man !!
I saw that one - taste?
To me, it tastes like the cheapest Quilmes (1890). No harm trying!
Indeed, ideal for the hot weather when you just want to quench a thirst. Pretty tasteless otherwise..
Due to austerity measures (not so austere to eliminate beer from our diet), we are drinking Dia's beer Oslava which costs $1000 per liter bottle. It comes in a plastic bottle. That said, I feel pretty cool to be able to stand two bottles of beers in a row. How British of me!
Just had a can of Quilmes Classic. Well seen I got it cheap at 400 pesos. It's tasteless.
From pisswater to plain water
I too can’t stand the quilmes stout, lately. It used to be one of my favorite! Very heavy to digest and too sweet.
Another great meeting with the pipe club lads tonight The chat,baccy and booze was very much enjoyed by all. David the doctor even forced me to have a large JW Black.
I think David is a doctor in gynecology
Where was this offer UK Man ?
you came late to the party, GlasgowJohn ! UK Man ordered all of it.
I know I've said it was pisswater but couldn't resist this offer at Vea.
I bought it on offer at Dia last week for 500 ARS per can and I thought it was a steal. No different from the Dia's own beer. Pisswater!
We buy apple cider and pear cider for Xmas - new eve in Argentina with my husband family. It is sold all year long, tough.
I am not particularly fond of it. Too sweet and bubbly for so little alcohol in exchange. 😂
In October 2023 I bought a bottle of La Mandinga gin (500 ml) in a specialty coffee place where I get my coffee before class. The price was $4000 which was cheap compared to other local brands.
Yesterday, I stopped for my coffee, spotted the bottle, asked for the price and I was told $5400 after checking a spreadsheet on the computer.
"I'll take it!", I said. But the guy then said "Wait, let me check the price again with the owner".
He whatsapped the owner and a few minutes later it was quote 12,000.
"I'll leave it!", I said. And left.
I didn't particularly like this gin, but it was the cheapest artesanal gin I found when I bought it in 2023.
Now, the relationship between coffee price and gin price in 2023 was not 1:9 like yesterday.
I would say 1:4 or 1:5.
Collected my beer order in Vea. The girl said she thought it was me when she had collected it earlier given my ''strange name''.
Shall try it tomorrow once it's chilled to see what it's like. I see it has a 5.5% alc so it's got a bit of oomph.
it was a safe assumption that a large order of beer matched a British surname. 😂
Our Vea used to have lovely girls working the tills. All very chatty and smiley. However they now have a lot of new ones that are okay but not so chatty. Something must have happened.
You're looking in the wrong place, mate! 
I'll give it a try but can't see it becoming a habit.
I hear ya but currently a can of craft beer costs around 2500-2800 per can, and this is 1000 for one liter. Not remotely the same product, but still offers some relaxation after a hard day!
Besides, it is also sold in cans. On Monday, they were $500. Yesterday they had already jumped to $900. The bottle was still priced at $1000, though.
It is a 4.5% lager by Dia, made in Argentina. If you like Quilmes lager, it tastes the same.
I am more of an IPA enthusiast.
Both! That it doesn’t give me headaches, so I can make it work!
$1000 (1 USD) at Dia. Not horrible for the price. Very light, though!
I don't....are you supposed to?
Ask Splinter ... he knows
Why don't you carry cash? Do you carry a wallet with cards and ID? What if you get stranded, alone?
One more sign that UK Man is indeed the King of Chivilcoy. I bet he doesn't even carry his ID with him.
Harry's spare what?
Back on topic I've had another cold Quilmes Doble tonight....could have downed more but the missus was watching!!
Prince Harry’s book is called Spare, as in “I was always told to be the spare in case something happens to William”. Sounds like you haven’t read much of the Daily Mail, lately.
It was my trusted companion during lunch break when I was working in an office in Italy! Nothing better than UK tabloids to make you feel better about your life. 😂
