Thanks Iāll have a lash off it
How bad
Did farmer used to work for Kerry group or something. I hear they a right shower of bastards to work for so maybe thatās it
Apparently they are notoriously hard to work for.
Heineken and Carlsberg Zero are both decent. I was never that gone on the Erdinger/Paulaner 0.0%. Have had a few bottles of Stiegl before as well and was daycent but mightnāt be to everyoneās taste.
The microbreweries have started doing the alcohol-free stuff now as well, but Iād only drink it if I was in the pub and driving, so the choice is limited. Two or three is the max youād ever drink.
They get their ounce of flesh and then some by all accounts. Mate of mine used to work there and said they were awful bastards. Youād be working till 8 at night as standard and no thanks for it

Itās paying the same price for them as a normal pint I find wrong. Iād rather drink a sparking water if I was driving

Thing is, youāll end up drinking a sparkling water as well anyways if youāre there for a couple hours. A Heineken Zero is grand for one or two for the taste of a beer. After that youāll definitely want something else. It aināt like your normal beer where youād drink a box of them regardless.
Bottled beers in general are ridiculously expensive in pubs in this country.
Ya but most of the price of a pint is tax on the alcohol, I donāt like the way they just charge the same because they can. Apparently it costs a lot more to make a non alcoholic beer, and it probably does, but thereās no way itās the same as a normal beer plus tax
Well the tax is alcohol % based isnāt it? I know thereās some alcohol in most non-alcohol beers, but Iām guessing itās under the limit for the special tax. So yeah, thereās something amiss there.
Theyāve to brew it and then extract the alcohol I think?*
*Think I heard this somewhere but I may have been drinking unextracted alchol booze at the timeā¦
So the story goes. But they must be churning out Heineken for cents on the litre. Even with supermarkets taking a loss on selling it, they must be able to manufacture it all in for say a euro a litre. Even if it costs ā¬2 a litre for the non alcoholic stuff then with the alcohol tax differential it should still be a lot cheaper. Iāve no clue really only guessing but Iād think pubs are treating it like soft drinks and charging a major mark up.
Just shooting themselves in the foot imo. But thatās pubs. Theyāll complain drink driving laws have killed the game, but theyāll make it as expensive as possible for the designated driver

Yep. I know the Toners lad passed today but I hadnāt set foot in the place until recently for about 10 years because the cunts charged me 2 euro for a pint of blackcurrant.*
*I was also buying pints.
