Not in a mood for stout/porter tonight, I do love a Guinness or six when the occasion demands but feel like something lighter tonight. Couple of IPA's & a couple of weissbiers will set me up nicely, pints of Guinness tomorrow night when watching the Champions League instead. Although maybe I should save the weissbiers for tomorrow in honour of the Germans playing.... Tough call...

That's the plan anyhow, I probably won't be there before 8 myself as we've 2 different family events to be at tomorrow afternoon/early evening. Should be good craic, Sky or Simons for some decent beers once the game is finished, there'll be no craft beers in Kellys I'm sure!!

Colonel Sanders l think this is your type of bet.

both teams to score in champions league final 6/4 with boyles €26 max tho
both teams not to score is 11/10.
not great but money for nothing is rare.

Tried back Bayern to win to nil earlier, was offered 6 quid so didn't bother. Getting pretty pissed off with bookies lately, becoming almost impossible to have a bet online

Just got this off one the lads. Knows his onions when it comes to Athletics:

Alright lads, Ladbrokes have priced this race up wrongly,
they have the field at 7/2 to beat Assefa in the womens 3k steeplechase

http://sports.ladbrokes.com/en-ie/Athletics-c110000016

Chepkirui beat her easily 2 weeks ago and reopposes here, plus you get
the stragglers as well with this bet.

Should be 4/6 at best I'd say

Just landed up to the apartment and found there was no toilet roll after I shat. Had to use a fairy citrus scented wipe. At least my ass smells nice but it's starting to burn

carmanard · 24-05-2013 09:25PM

Galway Hooker is good tack alright. I'm hoping the fact the offie sold out of it will encourage them to buy more in. At €3.42 a bottle it ain't cheap & cheerful, but it's got a definite thumbs up from me...

Nice beer, and a nice low abv if you want more than 2 or 3. €3.42 is scandalous though, €3 quid in some of the more expensive off licences in Dublin

A lot of places in Dublin seem to have it on tap as their token effort at non macro

I'm sipping a wheat beer here, not a huge fan of them. If venturing to the Fatherland or its wares I'd rather a pilsner & if at home stout/porter or IPAs are the way I roll usually

It's called Weihenstephaner I think, got very bored in the middle of texting so may have got the last few letters wrong

That is a quality brew, certainly in my personal top 3 weissbiers. Tesco had it as part of the five for €10 a while back, it's top notch... Paid €3.42 for the bottles of Galway Hooker in Super Valu, they have a very decent selection, but their prices are normally woeful...

One of the lads said Pettits in St Aidan's have a serious selection. No idea about prices though.

Tbh I'm just not a massive Wheat Beer man.

Colonel Sanders · 24-05-2013 09:43PM

Has anyone tried Molson Canadian? Reading over on the beer forum that its simply another pissy watered down lager ala Bud/Coors Light. Needless to say its supposedly proving very popular with the masses! I remember when I worked with a German company, on trips to Munich the lads would always comment how do Irish people drink so much when the beer they drink in the main is so crap. Never a truer word spoken

It's criminal Molson have bought Franciscan Wells & are spending their marketing budget on that piss.

Bwin betting 1.95 each of 2 in a match bet between Assefa & Chepkirui

Ladbrokes pricing it 1/6 Assefa v 7/2 the field looks Ferns Report wrong

Ladbrokes and skybet even money +5 and -3 respectively on the ulster vs leinster match tomorrow.

Skybet max bet was 118.71 at evs which is absolutely pathetic.

Now we just need Leinster to win by 4!

Overthelast · 25-05-2013 07:52AM

Heineken have the Coors franchise for this part of the world. The owners of molson produce Coors. They have brought in that Canadian tap water to compete with Heineken here. It is similar to Coors ie rubbish.

Borissa Dortmund look rather big at 7/2 in a two horse race and have an excellent record against Bayern.

Federer is 2.72 to back, 3.4 to lay to reach the French Open Final. Last matched at 2.7 but liquidity is awful. Bwin are the only bookie I see betting on it, they're 2.65

Happy enough with the 9/1 so! Best Price 12/1 to win it. it was the obscenely big place price that made me place the bet however. Even if he'd either of the big 2 waiting in the semi 9/1 would be too big

4/11 Assefa, 2/1 the field with Ladbrokes now

I'm not going in again but the 2/1 is probably still too big if anyone wants it
