What do you reckon the old Source Sligo building should be?

I suppose what you have with the big well known chain places is that they are in a better to afford the lease/rent and rates on a building such as the source building and if you had say for example something like a McDonalds or Supermacs or Burger King or similar these places never get this kind of "will it work, will it fail?" because nearly everyone knows them, they know what kind of food they sell , the taste, the quality of the food because its all consistent accross the country/world (well apart from Supermacs that is) - and it would be an odd day when say something like a McDonalds restuarant closes down because its not making enough money/business (sorry to 4 lights I know this would be too much close competition right on your doorstep) but the thing is as in every retail business if every time someone wanted to start up a business and was frightened of 'stepping on someones toes' then half of these business would ever go ahead or get off the ground. I mean if it was a Marks & Spencers food and clothes store wanted to open up in the source building then most probably Tesco and Penneys would kick up a fuss , but then even if they done that it shouldnt mean that M&S should be turned down for that building.

PARAGRAPHS.

In fairness, Beamish is muck compared to other stouts.

I strongly disagree.

"Muck" is a very strong statement.


It gets a score of 86/87 on Beer Advocate:

On Rate Beer, it scores 80-87:

Not world-class, but not "muck".

Well I was in Cork, and drinking Murphys afterwards, and there was a world of difference.

Staropramen, Tuborg, Carlsberg, Stella Artois, San Miguel - I would call these well-known.

In the bottles/cans, okay, the SixPoint US imports are not well known, fair enough.

But the 8 degrees and especially the O'Hara's Irish beers would be reasonably well-known, they are around 10 years +.

Erdinger weiss beer is around for 10yr+, well known.

I had a can of Kilkenny recently,really liked it,similar to John Smiths Extra Smooth! Is it available on draught in the pubs around Sligo?

I suppose I meant the usual suspects like Heiniken, Carlsberg (was not aware they served), Bud, Krononberg, Guinness, Smithwicks, and their extra cold versions, etc.

Of the above I drink, I would usally drink Guinness, Krononberg, or Tiger where served. Or a local brew such as Ale or Bitter.

No.

worlds goodest teecher

Walking past the Source building today I thought that a Nandos might work. It's something that isn't on the edge of the town (Supermacs, McD's, KFC, etc) so would probably bring a few people/families back into the town as well.
