Auld lads whinging about having a few pints

lads would say you can’t get a bad pint of it and no hangover

Bollocks & Bollocks…

I was a Budweiser man in my formative years.

When kids arrived and Covid arrived, I was alarmed to see it had disappeared as an option in draught the odd time I was out since.

Corrs is okay if you get a decent pint.

[Massive_Attack]

Can’t put up with stout anymore. It’s shocking shite in the main.

@farmerinthecity

It’s massively popular but it tastes like piss.

Ah it doesn’t

It tastes like nothing, it’s beer for people who don’t like beer and want a cold drink

[StoneCold]

Bottles of Miller were a big thing about 20 years ago when I was in college; one of the first mainstream ones you’d get cheap in an off licence. You’d hardly see one nowadays

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Box of 20 for 20 was the usual deal wasn’t it? Twas popular in my post college years (the glory days of 2003-07 before I met my wife )

I had a few pints of Smithwicks last week. First time in a long time. Went down well. Usually I’d be shook after a few pints of Guinness.
Does anyone drink “BudWHYzer” anymore, as the auld lads used to call it in my local.

Coors is after getting unreal popular on draught. I wouldn’t be a lager fan but lads would say you can’t get a bad pint of it and no hangover

I feel like it replaced Budweiser on tap in most spots. A lot of lads I knew that were Bud diehards are now mainly Coors or in rarer cases Moretti.

Diageo lost the rights to distribute Budweiser a few years back and replaced it with Coors. Shite replacing shite

[StoneCold]

Informative. Always thought Coors was distributed by Heineken Ireland

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

It certainly used to be anyway. The aunt’s husband was an engineer with Heineken and the back in the day cheap slab offers we’d get were Heineken, Coors or Murphys. I don’t remember that changing

[Copper_pipe]

I was in the Castle Inn (Cork) last weekend and could see the bottles of miller in the fridge. First time seeing them in years.

[PhattPike]

I can’t believe there were fellas out there drinking Budweiser. I suppose it was the only lager option in some spots for a long time.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

I’d have a good few pints of it back around 1998 a good bit. In my defence, I was 16

[StoneCold]

It was my first drink too; in fariness it was ahead of most when it came to marketing at the time

[farmerinthecity]

They were a lovely drink I always thought.

[StoneCold]

At first they were and then you were always likely to get a few flat bottles in every case; it seemed like the quality declined.

The twisty cap was fierce convenient too.

[farmerinthecity]

Nasty hangover off them.

I remember drinking a heap of then one Saturday night after my Leaving Cert and I was introduced to ‘dying’ the next day.

[Batigol]

When I was 18-25 a hangover meant being a bit sluggish for the first 15 mins in a football match.

[padjo]

looks like my fact may be wrong

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Hangovers were grand back then. The pain and regret was usually gone long before the Friday Mary I lunch of curry chips and burgers with onions and about three heavy handed spoons of burger sauce.
