If you're going to insist on branded beers, how in the hell is a few streams of piss in the toilets going to annoy you...??

I'd drink it out of the Urinal. No better man.

I blame the weather.
It's a surefire sign of cabin fever when folk start insulting each others beers.
Slainte.

Aren’t all beers branded anyway? I’ve never seen a blank tap or bottle in a pub. Even the ones us abnormals drink.

Ah but you want to be drinking something that isn’t going to be giving you a “yeast” infection.

What do you prefer?

I'm currently sitting at home alone. Mrs Rock is in her family home and I'm having pizza chips and a few cans of Beamish.

I choose what's on the telly.

I won't lose my seat when I go to the jack's.

No noise.

Less than €2 a can and a plate of chips from the deep fat fryer for less than a euro.

Pubs can go to hell.

You loose your seat when you go to the pump-room ! ???. What kind of a fukin kip did you drink in ?.

Nice to see other homebrewers, heh. What type of brew if I may ask?

I have as well though, while drinkable, the vast majority of it is horrendous.

Or trying to get a taxi/ lift home.
All you have to do is walk to your bedroom . Or even just fall asleep where you are. Just way easier

Much prefer going to the pub in the city center bumping into a few mates or just out for a few with a close friend, relaxing and chilled leave about 11:30 get home for 12 couple of pints of water some paracetamol and off to bed.

Reading some of the comment's here, I can safely say I am damn glad I don't live in a big city anymore. Can't beat a good local pub out in a small town/village. Where the pint's go down like milk, the craic is had no matter if you know the person beside you or not. And all at a decent price to. 50 euro in my local get's me 12 of the finest pint's of Carlsberg that you can imagine.

Small villages and towns where everyone knows everyone.

You can't beat it. City pubs are just ****e in comparison.

You can get that in cities too, depends on the pub.
Getting home from a country pub can be extra awkward too if you don’t have a designated driver

Disagree about them being depressing kips.

Although no doubt that some are better than others. The one in Blackrock (Dublin) seemed quite good when I was in it, but I've not liked one or two that I've been in, in England.

Given the cost saving, I'll certainly manage to get used to them, that's for sure. Absolutely crazy paying €6 and above for a pint...

I’m buying a house and it will have a bar including beer taps.

I’ll be putting a bar in my house too but the reality is that it’s not practical to have a keg of Guinness tapped except for a party or something. The shelf life is fairly limited and it won’t be nice if it’s not being used a lot.

It would need to be stored in a cold area too as well as having a constant flow otherwise it would be maulky.

JohnnyFlash · 01-03-2020 09:13PM

I don’t mind a few of those pale ales if they are low in alcohol (Galway Hooker is a tasty drop), but some of them are so high in ABV that you’re about as much use as a handbrake on a canoe after 8 or 10 of them.

It's a bit of an overstatement to say they are depressing kips. There are good ones and bad ones.

A lot of Wetherspoons in the UK are in converted heritage buildings and they are very pleasant places to enjoy a few drinks.

I’ll just have to use it a lot then ;-)
Anyone wanna help?

How do you actually go about getting a keg?

Off the local bar man?

There's a few companies who sell single kegs at a markup for marquees/bbqs and whatever. A few pubs even use them if they don't sell enough guinness to warrant dealing with diageo.

Not sure you can get them off the barman with returns and what not, unless you're going to plow through it in an afternoon.

Some of the bigger off licences sell them, you pay a deposit on the first one and then return the empty when you want a new one.

elperello · 01-03-2020 10:05PM

You can get kegs in some Carry Out Off Licences.

By the way I can't vote in the poll because there is no option that suits my opinion.

Home drinking is not nicer if you fancy a trip to the pub and conversely having to go to the pub when you prefer a quiet night in is not much fun.

There should be an option for those of us who enjoy our drinks in either venue.

Very disappointing behaviour should not be happening to anyone in there workplace

No doubt the perpetrator will get off scott free cause 'they were in an drunken emotional state and didn't realise there actions'
