    Had to check the label after two. Brewed in Northern Ireland. Bitter sweet? Nope. Just bitter. Sad, sad day and days to come.

    I know most Irish beer, including the beardo stuff, is bottled in Station Works in Newry. But 'brewed' is a strange one. Especially to go from here to what is basically a third world country industrially.


    .
    This says " Boucher Rd, Belfast. ". I dont knoe who brewed it, but it's vile.

    Went on a session on the large bottles of G once, different alright.

    I heaved my guts up at the urinals at the end of the night. Was just standing there taking a piss and the next thing vomit exploded out of my mouth.

    I love a bottle of Guinness and there's a few pubs in Dublin that do it - I'll have it when I'm out when it's available. It's definitely different than the draught stuff.

    I'll be down in Waterford over the Christmas break - well known for its "large bottles" of this and other drinks. Looking forward to a few.

    If you read on the label that it was brewed in Northern Ireland then how are they lying?

    I used to drink bottles of Guinness until they came up with the draught can and the widget. It was like switching from candlelight to electric light. Why would anybody want to keep on using candles?

    Most pubs have it but it's out of sight. Just ask the barman if ya don't see it. They wouldn't order as much of it in stock but it's usually ordered in for regulars.

    Norn Iron a third world country?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    You sad b@stard, Guinness drank straight from a bottle doesen't cause a hangover, it will get you drunk faster but no hangover.

    I was at a wedding in Molly Darcy's in Killarney around 9 years back, the draught was sh1te and I asked a young fella behind the bar if he had pint bottles of Guinness, he laughed at me and said they are gone out with years, I said to him with the sh1te you are serving over the counter they'd want to bring them back :)

    You're nothing but a whimp then, when I were a young fellow I could drink pint bottles till I'd drop, which was never. Shower of pussies nowadays.
