    full price i'm afraid. although guinness members have all recieved vouchers by post at this stage to get themselves a free pint at 17.59 on thursday. for everyone else it's €4.30 or whatever your local is. unless of course a pub decides to take matters into their own hands and reduce the price but guinness wont be discounting anything

    Think I just might go for a pint of Beamish on Thursday at 6.

    Pubs in Cork that don't sell draught Guinness :

    Callanans, Georges Quay
    The Abbott's Ale House, Devonshire Street.
    The Harbour Bar, Scilly, Kinsale

    Anyone have any more to add to the list?

    Alas Callanan's probably wont be open in time for the celebration!

    I'm fairly sure it's house beers only on draught.

    2.50 a pint from 17:59 to 20:09 here in Linz :) Usually something like 4.60 against 3.30 for a local beer. Personally I think it's be rude not to have a few at that price!

    If it's all day it's not happy hour, but I think it is against the lay to discount for a short amount of time. Encouraging binge drinking and all that.

    Obviously it's a marketing thing. They're not 'making' anyone do anything.

    No!!:eek:
    Surely, it's a celebration of all things Irish and traditional!
    It's not like the brand is owned by a multinational company or that the beer is so industrialised that it bears little or no resemblance to the original product. And it's not like, over the years the company systematically wiped out regional brewing and cask dispensing in Ireland.
    Is it??

    Yer only man!

    Yesterday on the radio I heard that 11 pubs in Dublin are doin pints for the same price as 250 years ago.

    That means 1 cent pints. :eek:

    They didnt name the pubs.... :(

    Pints of what, though? There was no Guinness stout until about 220 years ago.

    Actually, there wasn't even a Guinness brewery 250 years ago: AFAIK the lease was signed in December 1759.

    Apparently it was New Years Eve 1759 but they hardly need a marketing ploy to boost sales that night, do they;)

    It would "steal focus" as one of the soulless marketing executives who came up with "Arthur's Day" probably said.

    I suspect they will form a focus group to look into that very issue; it will consist of three guys with goatees, two girls (also with goatees) who wear pink tights, a housewife to maintain social balance and some guy in a shirt and tie with the top buttons undone to take rainchecks and write cliches on a flip chart; none of whom who have ever drank the stuff :)
