No offies in France so it'll just be supermarkets or corner shops to buy beer. Beer is generally a lot cheaper to buy in shops than it in Ireland. It can range widely depending on where you go (heading to hypermarches on the outskirts of town is the cheapest option by far) but you can as a rule expect to buy a sixpack of Heineken, Kronenbourg, Pelforth, Stella, 1664 or other standard lager for 3 to 4 euros and a case for less than 15 (most bottled beer in France is 25cl though you will find 33cl and 75 cl too, while most cans are 50cl).

You can get cold cans in supermarkets and corner shops but it's usually a very small proportion of stock and, given they'll be likely be turning over a lot during the Euros, no beer will be left in the fridge very long. In some arrondissements, including the 11th and the 18th (where the Harp is), it is illegal for shops to sell take-away booze after 10pm. They are very strict about this so get your orders in before 10 if you want to have drink for the night.

Do they sell cider over there?

Is there any pub in Paris that serves Harp Lager?

Magner's, Strongbow, Bulmer's (the English sort) you'll usually only be able to find in pubs (mostly Irish or other Anglophone ones). In the shops, you'll find mostly Breton or Norman cider, such as Ecusson, Loic Raison, Kerisac and Lebrun. It usually comes in 75cl champagne-style bottles though Loic Raison do a 1.5 litre flagon for about 2 euros. There are two types, Doux, which is 2.5 pc and Brut, which is around 6pc. It's drier than the Irish and British varieties and, in my opinion, nicer. Won't be too expensive to try it out.

I've never tried it or heard of it but it sounds good. At €2 for a 1.5 litre bottle at 6pc that sounds like the job.

Did you drink the cider over in Poland or in Warsaw last October? Thought that was very nice myself.

In fourteen years living here I've never seen it.
