    And here comes the craft beer drinkers! Thinking everything is piss except craft beer!

    Imagine getting triggered by somebody simply stating they like a particular brand of beer. That said, those posts won't like themselves.

    So good he ordered it twice. You couldn't be that parched unless you leapt out from behind a sand dune.

    Twice is better than once.

    Dunnes had a slab of Guinness for 25 euro. Then you get the tenner off voucher if you spend 50. Run it through twice, and you got 92 cans for 80 quid.



    Retrospective Top Tip.

    23 in a slab? Tipping the cashier or sampling the savings?

    It's not just for the pint it's to get out of the house for a reason other than walking/shopping

    No definite the pubs will be open on the 19/20 april either. 2 weeks ago during the first phase of closures we were expecting them to be open this weekend

    Cans/bottles just dont have that pub taste but all we have atm I guess

    JustEat here has loads. I don’t think I could do it though. Have avoided deli’s for the last few weeks too.

    I know it’s mad because someone somewhere has touched all your food at some stage but can’t get my head around those.

    Is it going to be as simple as just reopening the pubs?

    Kegs have a limited shelf life, every pub in the country will have stale Guinness, I wonder how quick can Guinness get fresh Guinness delivered to each pub across the country?

    Are they still brewing Guinness? Or have they stopped and will have to restart a lengthy process when the restrictions are up? Thus causing further shortages!

    We might have no pints until Christmas!

    Diageo are replacing all kegs and continuing to clean lines (at least they were up to tonight's announcement). Delivery days are staggered so as long as pubs have some notice, it shouldn't be a problem.

    So...

    You have dragged yourself across the sunbaked dunes, endured the searing thirst, endlessly dreaming of that perfect pint; the vision that carried you through the weeks of parched throat and craic starvation.....

    As you crawl ever closer to the crest of the final hill....

    Which pub will it be, where does the Holy Grail reside? :P

    For me, even though I live in Louth, it will be Eamonn Coughlans in Moate.

    Finest pint of Guinness you will get anywhere. Every time. Without fail.

    (I'll drive there, but not home again obviously; before the PC brigade get the pitchforks out :D )

    Yip. Just opened a can of draft Guineas here myself. Trick is they need to be chilled for at least 3-4 hours. Then they are 90% as good as a really good pub pulled pint. €8 for a 4 pack ain’t the worst either.

    How much would it cost and how much effort would be involved in getting a pint of cold, pub-standard guinness in my hands? I know I could buy a keg but what about the plumbing and refrigeration? I have the time and I'm spending feck all these days and I'd love a proper pint.

    Well they should be as good as any pub pints, it's the same beer....

    Ordering pints from there is certainly safer than going there in person unless it's changed drastically in the last few years.
