I got mugged off this evening. That pint was drank in the Lady Gregory Hotel whilst the kids were swimming. I swung by Kinvara on the way home and pulled 6 cans of Guinness from the fridge⌠Never looked at them. Landed home and they are this nitro shite⌠Apparently I need some device to drink them?
I drank one anyway out of pure ignorance, twas grand.

Does straight head or Phillips make a difference?

Has to be a straight head, a Phillips would have the head on the bottom of the glass

Weâre probably not allowed call it a straight head anymore. Thats the way its gone now i suppose
Probably cos itâs always been called a flat head?

A week ago I had a pint in the same pub and it was middling.
Itâs al to do with the point in the keg for me.

Few of these stories around. Is there any chance this would become more commonplace? Pubs ditching the big international brands and going local. I know Lazarus was saying fellas are tied to their Heineken etc but surely supporting local business if it was around the same price is win win. What would be the price comparison between the likes of white hag in a pub and Heineken/bud?
Funny that its usually the biggest drinkers too are most wedded to their international brand.
I knew a diehard local soccer, united footix, anti gah head, functioning alcoholic who gave up his favourite tipples of Guinness and carlsberg and moved to Budweiser because of the sponsorship deals they signed though so it can be done.
the majority of lads that keep a pub going will drink the cheapest available shite in the pub, ie, alcoholics. Theyâll drink fosters or tuborg or whatever the house has, they wonât be drinking craft ales at 6 or 7 euro a pop.

Yeah thatâs true. Thatâs what I was wondering though what is the actual price difference between heino/carlsberg and an Irish âcraftâ lager in a pub? The tuborgs and labbatts of this world are a different category altogether. They actually show how wedded people are to the big 3 lagers as even when they are available cheaper Iâd say most people still choose carlsberg, bud or heineken.
youâd pay 6 euro for a moretti out of the tap in cloyne. 5 euro for a plain and 5.50 for a heineken. I just found out moretti is heinken, just right now.
I donât drink in places that have craft beer in them it seems.
Youâd be surprised the amount of pubs getting in large amounts of Heineken at the moment before it goes up in price . Getting in their Christmas stock at the going price and whack the 50 odd cent in December.
Very few pubs have anything craft on tap. The likes of Heineken just keep squeezing them out.
Heineken have a near monopoly or have cornered most of the Irish market. They also brew Murphys and Beamish so unless its Guinness or Coors light youre having, there are not many other draft options available. 2 or 3 good places just north of the Lee there in Cork between Shandon and Sundays well. Bierhaus is a good spot for different beers. Quite strong mind. Franciscan Well is close by as well. Another one opened there too recently.
