Sick after market beer?

sunshine22

Just wondering if im the only one who has been violently sick after drinking beer in the Eyre Square beer tent. I was there last night, had one 0.5 litre beer and ended up going home about an hour later due to feeling REALLY sick. Before that, I had only had 1 other drink before that so I know it wasnt due to drinking too much!!! I was up all night long getting sick...literally, all night:eek: I still feel sick almost 24 hours later although im able to hold down water now:D
I was there a week ago and experienced one of the worst hangovers of my life the next day. I had drank a lot after the beer so I attributed it to the amount I drank but looking back now, its the same feeling as last night and I never get sick after drinking my usual drinks!!

So...has anyone else experienced this?

Sounds more like food poisoning to me?? You had a hangover last week so i wouldnt be putting them in the same category. And no i wasn't ill after drinking in there, just badly hungover too.

biko

Had beer there no problems. Sounds more like some dodgy food or winter vomiting bug*?



*I'm not a doctor but I'll take a look.

Sampled a few there last xmas was pretty good beer looking forward to a few more down there this xmas. Are they still charging a fiver deposit on the glass?

Panthro

I'd a litre in there last night and it did me no harm.
Now the scatter a pints and the hot whiskey, they are a different story altogether.
I had to beat them to death with their own shoes..

cooperguy

Had a litre or 2 on Thursday and was fine

jenno86

What time does they tent stay open until?

Panthro

they stop serving at 10pm, couldn't tell you what time the actual tent closes its doors though.

sunshine22

Ya maybe it was food poisoning!!! Im still sick...poor me:(

kinetic

Maybe it was the price of the beer?

You might want to change the name of this thread OP, or at least add a question mark. A thread title like that would put people off going there for no good reason if they don't read the thread. It would be a pity for the retailer.

Agreed.

Could have been any number of things. Could be ruining a reputation for no reason.

biko

Title change, not sure if it's for the better. Whaddaya think OP?

scholar007

Well thats what you get for bringing your tent and beer up to Eyre square......... - I thought there was a sign outside tent city saying no alcohol allowed.

No, I want it changed back!!! Maybe worded differently with a question mark.

2 of my friends have the vomiting bug in Galway yesterday and today and they were never near the tent or drinking at all. There is definitely a bug doing the rounds at the moment.

Hope you feelin' better OP:)

Berty

The tent does not have any process different from any bar in town in the way the beer is served. Keg - Gas - Tap - Glass - Mouth

Glasses are washed in standard pub dishwashers and the lines are cleaned by the same professionals who would clean a pub line.

Maybe the wheat beer just doesn't agree with your body.

How about this link to cheer you up. 16 seconds in it begins.

Or keep the glass. €4 for the glass is worth it though.

I was in the tent on Sat night........had one big stein and then a half one....over a couple of hours, also had the ribs and sauteed potatoes......was awake half the night sick........tummy is still not right today....not saying it had anything to do with the tent food/beer....but............................

Sponge Bob

What about the other 10 pints you chased that lot down with ????

Kazooie

Was there Fri and Sat nights. Had 2 litres each night. Me no sickie. Did you eat anything dodgy from the food stalls maybe?

They were ten pints of Guinness from O'Connells tho, so I know they weren't the cause.......

squonk

Was in for a 1L Stein 2 weeks ago and for a 0.5L glass on Saturday and no problems at all. Regarding hangovers, I do remember reading a review of Paulaner v. Erdinger and the basic gist was that Paulaner is Heineken's answer to Erdinger and isn't all that good and results in a roaring hangover/headache moreso than Erdinger. I would actually prefer if they were serving pints of Erdinger. Having said that, I greatly enjoyed my pint there on Saturday.

Absolutely, it musta been the other lot.

Paulaner make a very good Lager and Erdinger make a very good Weissbier but I would never drink a Paulaner Weiss or an Erdinger Helles ( Lager)

The only company whose entire range of beers is scumptious is Weihenstephan . Schneider is the only imported beer they drink in Munich and they only make Weiss....it comes from out near Ingolstadt I think.

Good man! Glad somebody knows their beers Weihenstephan rocks!

Schneider Weisse is brewed in Kehlheim close to Regensburg and also close to Kloster Weltenburg (a monastery) where they also brew some awesome beer...


(having a minor attack of homesickness right now)

the keen edge

Yeah Weihenstephan has no rivals, five for a tenner in the spar across from the dew drop!.

I'd be much more inclined to think it was the food than the beer.

I will go down Friday without eating anything all day.
Then have 2-3 or more pints of each brand.
If I feel sick the next day we know it's the beer...

Always going above and beyond for other people. You're quite the hero! :P

ellsbell

Friend of mine was down there last nite and she was violently sick the rest of the night. She had to get a doc out as she was so ill and couldnt stop puking. it could well be a coincidence as there is that winter vomiting bug around but i saw her yesterday and am not sick...yet!!

Sponge Bob

Beer doesn't do that, not even crap beer.

Lets just wait for Biko to report shall we???

Sponge Bob ain't heading down there to scoff second rate beers and dodge the womiting wirus ( as they say in Carraroe) when he can always get some primo tack in the warmth of the Bierhaus and the Oz when the moods strikes.....OH!!! .......and then drive home afterwards coz the lads in the Liosbaun have no overtime budget this christmas

Hee hee I was in Munich the day Germany beat Costa Rica in the opening match of World Cup 2006. Next morning I was in a supermarket and there was a very funny scene with a couple of distraught natives staring in disbelief at at a beer shelf where all that was left was a few bottles of Erdinger. The horror of the situation (drinking erdinger) was etched into their facial expressions. They werent tearing their hair out but you knew they wanted to.

I used to be partial to Alpirsbacher kristall meself but you have to go further west to the dark forests to find that

Sponge Bob

Kristall is a bit wussy, nothing like a nice cloud of yeast suffusing me Weiss but the trick is NOT to put ALL the yeast in in one go.

Once you go outside Bavaria the beer is generally called Weizen(=Wheat) not Weiss(= White) and there are some really nice Weizens and Dunkel Weizens in Hesse as well, particularly in the Untermain region where Hesse/Bavaria/Baden Wurtemburg meet in south central Germany.

Couple of tasty Belgian wheat beers too I must add. Other than Southern Germany and Belgium nobody else makes Weiss/Weiz.

topcat77

I know about a number of people (me included) that became sick after the hog roast! Only found out about it when i mentioned sickness to others.

Hefe Weiz has the same effect on me as Guinness. I like Guinness but if I drink it nobody wants to work with me the next day for some reason.

Halt es maul und sauf!

Host tass net schon g'sauft oder?

Don't put all the yeast in....like I said! And read the echte wiki!

Berty

What you folks need is a bottle of Erdinger Pikantus. Unfortunately it is no longer imported in Ireland.(Maybe a pallet in 2012 for the whole country). The duty on it is massive because it is 6.8% ABV so trying to sell it would be hard on the shelf with others already at 5 for €10.

I had 2 litres of it in Munich during the year. Hardy stuff I tell you.

Anyway, I doubt people are getting sick from the beer in the tent. The setup is the same as last year more or less. Lines are cleaned, glasses are washed and kegs are sealed till opening and the same gas is used. It would have to be the food because it is the only thing that is not as consistent.
