A pint of Guinness at the pub is set to rise by at least 7c before VAT while the non-alcoholic equivalent will increase by around 10c before VAT from February 2.
A great day in work as think ive managed find a path to a pocket ive been chasing a while. From there, i had to go into Trinity to finish off some work but finished early, 3pm.
Herself says hold on until 5/530 when she finishes and shell drive out.
Isnt often i get midweek afternoon pints solo but by god are they glorious.

Upstairs is a grand spot to disappear as well.
Ah deadly.
How much was the pint by the way? That part of town is the most expensive outside of Temple Bar I’d say.
I think it was 7.20. Itd be an expensive habit
Was in Star Bar before it as closest to where id parked. There was no one.drinking porter and didnt want to be first of the day so ordered a session IPA. It was 8 quid for a US sized pint the robbing cunts.
So €9.60 for an imperial pint - wow, steep for a session 5.0% ?
I have done them a disservice and hadnt been arsed to correct upon finding my mistake.
I had the exact same fancy pint glass at home. So i filled a native pint glass with water and filled into said suspected US pint glass. Exact same.
It reminded me why i robbed the glass the first time served it elsewhere.

Grand Cru import a lot of the better American beers and I know they went to the trouble of getting merchandised imperial pint glasses , there was a period say 2016/17 where bars were using US pint glasses but it helped with the psychology of pricing and people were still getting their heads blown drinking the smaller volumes thanks to the higher ABV
In a well known Limerick spot here. The barman offered a regular a Guinness calendar. “No, it would only remind me of what date it is”. Ah, it’s a grand auld city.
