Price of a pint in your local

£3.40 a pint.
Less for those ales that get hand pumped at room temperature. They're generally awful, unless you're into that sort of thing.

€4.30 for a pint Of Guinness in a country pub in south Tipperary

£2.10 (say €2.40) but I am unlikely to come out alive.

During Happy Hour (4-6, Mon-Fri) $3.75 for a beer with a second one free

No.

Actually, it is!

You can even test it yourself with the following test.
Steps

1. Take one standard issue pub pint glass.
2. Take one standard issue 500ml bottle of beer (e.g. Budvar)
3. Carefully* pour contents from said bottle of beer in to aforementioned pint glass.

Results:
A pint glass full to the brim with a 1cm head.

When you order a pint in a pub from the tap, you are typically getting ~500ml of beer and ~1cm of head. When on the continent (where everything is the metric system), you will still get the same sized glass as here, it is just that they refer to it as a half-liter.

If you even take your standard issue Mass Glass for Oktoberfest. While it is described as a liter of beer, it fits 1 liter of beer and approx 3cm of head. In the following photo, the line where the beer currently resides is actually the 1 liter mark and the head is gone (either drunk or left gone flat)




*Pour too fast and you will gt too big a head, thus not enough room in the pint glass for the entire contents.

Anyone heading out for a few gargles this evening

Here's a better test.

1. Take two pint glasses. (Actually standard pint glasses you'd find in a pub in Ireland. Not some bin glass from Europe.
2. Buy two bottles of Guinness. One 500ml, one pint (568ml)
3. Pour both into each glass.
4. One glass will contain a pint and the other will contain 500ml. You will also note they are not at the same level.

OK, to begin with, Guinness is a whole world onto itself!

But, the following should be noted: Here is a video from Guiness about how to pour a 500ml bottle in to a (pint) glass. Notice how it fills the pint glass completely, the very same way as if you had purchased a pint from a bar.



It's not rocket science. A pint glass holds 568 ml in volume. A 500 ml bottle of anything being sold contains 500 ml of liquid. With beer, gas is released that creates a "head" that fills the last ~68 ml of that glass.

By the way, do pint bottles of Guinness even exist? I thought they died out in the 90's. Did people pour them into a glass or drink them straight from the bottle?

€4.50 for the likes of Bud/Heineken etc.
€4.20 for Guinness.
€3.20 for Carling.

This is fairly standard pricing around Enniscorthy. Go to the likes of The Riverside Park and you pay Dublin prices.

Pint bottles of Guinness were always poured into a half pint glass.

Guinness’ ad slogan was that you could get three glasses from a pint bottle.
