Good old beer snobbery.

I smoke silk cut, by the way.

They'll have to drink it quickly as it'll only last a few months.

Then they'll be locked for weeks and then when they get caught, they'll get locked up for a couple of months.

Then this thread will be locked...

I noticed it and you beat me to it.

The last pint I bought in Dublin was over a year ago and cost me €5.50.

Enter the upsurge in Discobars and Winebars where cocktails and.. well.. wine is served.

The pub scene will never die, it will just shift around and settle back to its normal place.

no gard, i havent seen any suspicious activity around here...
Those tyre marks leading to my shed with a keg outside? oh thats nothing to see.... Why don't you come inside for a pint? We have our own private line of guiness, Carlsberg and of course Budweiser.

**gard forgets everything and leaves the man alone..**

^^^^^^
How can i actually see that happening?

Also, honestly,(just for say) If your neighbour had been part of the robbery and offered you a few kegs (change what beer to what you like) and a tap. Would you honestly go to the gards? or happily accept that you're now stocked for xmas?

/me remembers the day when you could get 4 pints and a packer of tayto, and still get change from a tenner...:eek:

Hope I get invited to the robbery-afters party!

My first tax paying job was as a lounge boy.
It was £1.70 for a pint of lager at the time.

A keg of stout only lasts two months and a keg of larger only lasts three months.
Actually, that could be the other way around but it's 3 months max.

They also did the pensioner deal.

Beer can spillage closes motorway

A brewery wagon crashed on the M6 in Cumbria, leaving cans of beer strewn across the carriageway.
The "curtain-sided" HGV, which was carrying 40 tonnes of cans, flipped onto its side after mounting an embankment early on Saturday.
The Scottish driver, from Livingston in West Lothian, was rescued uninjured after being trapped in the vehicle.
Two northbound lanes of the motorway near Shap have re-opened after the cans were cleared and the wagon recovered. A Cumbria Police spokesman said: "It's not clear quite how much beer spilled onto the carriageway, but as the vehicle was curtain-sided, it probably lost a good deal of its load." The Highways Agency assisted police with the clear-up of the M6 northbound, which fully re-opened at about 1400 GMT.

Man charged over Guinness kegs theft

A man has been charged in connection with the theft of 450 kegs of beer from the Guinness Brewery, Victoria Quay, Dublin 8 on November 28th.

Gardaí from Kevin Street station had carried out a search in Co Meath last Monday and recovered a quantity of property.
