Guinness day 2012

dvck

Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this but anyone knows what are the venues where the bands will play this year (Fatboy Slim, Texas,etc)? And if it is possible to buy tickets? I can't find any details about this on the Guinness website...

Thanks

JessePinkman

Ah Guinness Day

Also known as the black movement

Dyr

the possibility of winding up in a pub where norman cook is playing is good enough reason for me to stay at home, just to be safe.

To be fair, I think the marketing team that managed to turn this gimmick into a national institution deserve to retire on a multi-million euro pension.

Though then again, I suppose the Irish don't need much coaxing to go on a massive pissup.

F*cking pain in the hole so it is.

I was watching a doco about Guinness on nat geog. Apparently Africa is their biggest growing market, especially Nigeria. I wouldn't associate Guinness with those climes.

I may go out that day but more than likely to a bar that doesn't sell Guinness

Yup. They even have a Guinness soft-drink out in Africa called Guinness Malta.

Few and far between though. Even some of the craft pubs have sneaky bottles of Guinness out the back sometimes.

Sky King

It's guiness foreign extra over there though. Like 7 or 8 % or something

You can get it here, but only faggy hipsters drink it. It's expensive too.

Don't have to drink it though. There's a few places I've been in recently and I'm sure there was none available at all. Hope I'm right.

Was thinking of trying some of that when I go to Kenya at the end of the year just to see what its like. Will that make me a faggy hipster?

For years it years it was the only drink I had but now can't keep the stuff down. Its a disgrace that our national broadcaster has live shows from the event at a cost to us. Pathetic but brilliant stunt from the marketing dept.

I'd imagine that Guinness cover most of the cost of that.

It really is an ingenious bit of marketing by Guinness/Diageo.
