Price of a pint !

Not a regular pub goer due to the ridiculous prices but on my occasional visits I never notice (and have never noticed) if my Guinness is in a Guinness glass.

This Carlsberg glass has been around since the 2000s.

You would never serve a pint of Guinness in this.

This is the pint glass that everything was served in up to the arrival of the glasses like the Carlsberg one above in the 2000s.

You'd still get away with serving anything in this.

The current Guinness glass is something like this with a Guinness logo.

You would get away with putting anything in it even with the Guinness logo on it.

As I said people don't care about what glass they get because the bar staff usually know what glasses are for what.

But you certainly would hear about it if you put Guinness, or Murphy's or any other stout in the first glass.

Guinness in a Carlsberg glass was a fairly regular order when i was serving my time in the early 00s, Only among women though, they found it easier to hold.

Serve say a Smithwicks in a Bulmers glass though and you'd be lucky if it was just the liquid thrown at you.

No one is having you on, any decent bar staff will put the drink in the corresponding branded glass.

If I order a Carlsberg, I expect a Carlsberg glass (keeps the head better due to frosted bottom). If I order a Guinness and it came in a Carlsberg glass I and I'd wager majority of others won't be buying it.

I would definitely complain and also think that they're shít at their job.

Multiple posters telling you that they do care about what glass they get their pint in. If you were actually a bar man and threw Guinness out in any old glass, you weren't a good bar man.

I hate going to a bar where they use generic "pint" glasses, gives the feel that the place is a cheap shíte student bar.

Ok so you're confirming that you weren't a half decent barman.

What pub gave you these pints of Murphy's in Guinness glasses to fool your mates?

I know. Theres is a team of you in it. You got me. You would get laughed at in a pub if you said "Hey, my Carsberg isnt in a Carlsberg glass, take it back."

You used to have to do an apprenticeship to be a bar man, it was seen very much as a skill.

The bleeding horse (bad choice for your "story" as I'm there every couple of weeks as I work around the corner) don't use generic pint glasses so not a hope they served multiple rounds of Murphy's in Guinness glasses.

Why do bar staff apologise when they run out of branded glasses if no one has an issue with it?

I've seen you've added "I'll leave it there", you don't seem to like discussion on a message board when someone doesn't agree with you. Appears that there's only one on the wind up.

As I said you used to do apprenticeships. It was seen as a skilled job, unfortunately it isn't anymore.

I work around the corner from The Bleeding Horse and have done for the past few years, I've never been given a pint in a generic glass, not once.

People do care, bar staff care, hence them apologising if they run out of a certain branded glass. No one needs to check the logo as if you're a regular drinker of a drink you'll know the glass by it's shape/style.

No nonsense going on here apart from your ramblings about getting a load of Murphys in Guinness glasses.

If you cannot have a discussion unless everyone agrees with you then maybe this site isn't for you "new" poster.

*Some* people do care what glass they drink their pint out of.

Out of curiousity, how much is a bottle of corona in a pub? The last time I had a bottle of corona in a bar it cost me €8. Cocktails that time were 2 for €15. That was about 8ish years ago now. I tend to stick to pints around €6ish (at least that was Paddy's day last year) haven't been to a pub since.

Even if I was dying of thirst I wouldn't hand over 7 bloody Euro for a bottle of any beer.

Madness.

I cant remember the last time i got a Heineken in anything other than a Heineken glass but i dont drink it too often.

I have NEVER gotten a Guinness in anything other than a tulip glass and could count on one hamd how many times that wasnt a Guinness bramded tulip.

Im in a pub on average once a week, maybe more. Mix of CC and locals.

No idea what kind of dives people drink in that its a lottery for your glass.

And ive seen a $hite in a urinal in my local.
