Posting Shakespeare,Christ this is TFK .This should be in the things that are wrong thread but Iâm too lazy to post this twice
When we are born, we cry that we have come to this stage of fools
Iâm shocked that post wasnât bombarded with likes bud
People. Where would you even start?
Weâll have a shortage of Guinness cans within a few weeks apparently lads. From a lad in Diageo.
Just think of all the out of date barrells they are currently pouring into the Liffey
They canât source cans I assume?
Iâve 4, Iâll Dpd them to you
Leave them in malahide castle beside the playground and Iâll pick them up. Ta.
Theyâll be atop the high tower
Thatâll be the straw that breaks the camels back. Social unrest is imminent
Do beer barrels have a use by date?
Will we be drinking dregs when the bars reopen?
Cc your mate in St. Jamesâs Gate.
I donât think anyone knows. Kegs have never reached their best before date in Ireland till nowâŚ
Also lads, HB ice cream are experiencing big difficulties in their supply chains. Theyâve sold more this month than in the entire summer of 2018 apparently. Time to get some family packs of icebergers, a few slabs of guinness and lock yourself in the shed* with a shotgun.
Ice cream may melt depending on the shed.
Guinness have a mar dhea date on kegs, is it something like four or six months? Theyâre doing a run this week to bring back everything in pubs but itâs more of a PR thing than anything else.
Link?
No link. Conversation with a lad I know who works in distribution for HB. Said their excess stock had been all sold during the Surge(of people sitting at home eating ice cream) and that a few factories have cases of covid so they are way down staff.
Shorter date on guinness than lager. It should ideally be tapped and drank within 6 weeks and is better for not travelling too far. Lager can last months before tapping. Cider can last for a year.
Diageo have been collecting kegs for weeks now. Storing in Limerick until they can dispose of the contents. Donât have space at SJG for all the empties.
Heineken doing similar.
Donât know what c&c are doing.
Guinness is canned in Belfast from double strength concentrate tanked from SJG. They should not be short of raw materials so either short of cans or pulling production
