Liked how they told people to drink Guinness, breath in swallow hold breath exhale etc.

Will you explain that process to me? I still have a few stouts left from my Christmas collection and I'd feel bad if I wasn't drinking them properly! :P

Weird place is Waherfur, laarge bottles of Smithwick's a good seller there too.

McArdles also available - that sort of replaced the Phoenix ale, a local brew also available in the large bottle. Carling and Bass also popular in pint bottles - maybe not so much now.

Not sure why the large bottle lived on in the Déise - local pubs used to bottle their own beer, but I'm sure that was the same all over the country.

That is very good value.

Tesco or Dunnes charge 2.55.

Macardles is available in a good few spots in Dublin too, if I'm in a non-craft boozer I'd look for Mac's.

and yeah, I think most pubs used to bottle their own. Even Guinness would bottled on some premises.
