Supporting craft breweries

No, that's not the case. Something being available on MyFitnessPal requires someone to have put the data in, accurately, in the first place. Someone can only do that if a producer has published the data.

If there's proper labelling for beer, the correct amounts can be added, and scanned, so you don't have to say '**** it' and enter "Beer" and get

(what even is 12 fl oz?!) and instead you just scan the barcode and it'll give you

(which is what I'm seeing for Smithwicks on MFP right now, and Diageo already publish the nutritional info for their beers on labels).

Likewise, I should be able to just scan my cans of Galway Bay, White Hag, Stiegl or Beavertown and have accurate info, rather than taking the generic "Beer" entry that some dude entered, doing some mental maths to work out what 12 fl oz is in ml (and did they mean UK or US fluid ounces?) so I can come up with a conversion for my 330, 440 or 500 ml can...

Seriously - knowing the nutritional info and ingredients of something I'm imbibing is not a big ask!

This legislation will not compell producers to put the ingredients on the label.

It's like you only read your own posts.

And claiming that

wanting labels, in all EU countries to have ingredients and place of manafacture on them,

is the same as

labels , in Ireland only, having nutritional info (no need for ingredients) and health warnings

Really?

Are you OK?

They are entirety different things. Why would you claim that they are the same?

What?

How does what you just typed, supposedly in response to my post, have anything to do with what I said?

It's like you've proved my point. Despite quoting people, it appears that you either don't read or you fail to comprehend what people are saying and you just post random stuff!

The argument being made by some here is that this law, by only being applied in Ireland, may well limit the choice of less mainstream, imported products in Ireland.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of our discussion. I fail to grasp any meaning from your posts. Perhaps I'm a little slow off the mark.

Don't think GBB are involved, think Andy is flying Solo.

That's the rumour. Beer market lasted nearly a decade there so hopefully it doesn't return to it's spot of death reputation.

Black sheep were still macro less last time I was in, maybe against the grain as well.

Will check out the Christchurch Inn.

Any news on Underdog opening date on Bolton St?

I think the Legal Eagle is also reopening soon.

I was always happy to have macro on tap. Use those lads to pay the bills and give you the GP to keep the craft stuff cheap, especially when you want to get an imperial stout or something in.

The place I was talking about above was almost identical in size, clientele and beer range to Mother Macs.

Against the grain is selling guinness now.

I’ve mates who will only drink Guinness. Having it on tap in craft places makes it easier for me to convince them to drink in that kind of pub. Makes sense.

In my local, not having Guinness/Coors/Bulmers etc acts as a great filter, removing customers that the little bar neither needs or wants.

It's really funny how puzzled and/or cross people get because a pub doesn't serve their favoured brand of alcohol.
