Beer....

£5.95 for a bottle of McGrath's in The Cloth Ear in Belfast. Has the world gone mad?! 

This needs an active campaign of naming and shaming.

Don't even know what McGrath's is but at 6 quid a bottle it would need to be good. I have no shame in saying I'll be paying slightly over €4 a pint for the best Guinness in Ireland in West Kerry over the next week or so.....money well spent.

It's an obscene amount of money anywhere for a 330ml bottle, but in Belfast for a beer brewed less than 30 mins from the pub it's an absolute disgrace. If it was in The Temple Bar you'd be complaining about it.

Was it nice?

Some of their stuff is nice. Their #5 is nice but the #2 was so-so. A number 2 in more ways than one!

That and Berts bar are poor in all regards, considering all the new bars that have sprung up in that area, Duke of York is hard to bate!

Was in burts a couple of years back (the last night I was out) and ordered three beers. They came in wine glasses. I left immediately.

Seeing it's Christmas, I decided to treat myself to a couple of beers last night. Since I don't drink anymore, I thought I'd do better than the Bud or Tennant stuff.

Had a couple of Brewdog Brixton Porter. A lovely wee craft beer from Scotland.

Dogs piss in an old Wellington boot would be better than Bud or Tennants.

Bud was always heavily advertised but it's very watery.

"According to a fascinating report by our friends at The Wall Street Journal's Marketplace section. Bud's fall has been so dramatic that it is devising a radical new marketing strategy aimed at winning over the young and discerning, the newspaper said.
For an American of my vintage, the report contained one particularly staggering statistic. It said 44 per cent of US drinkers aged 21 to 27 have never even tried Budweiser. When I was 21 to 27 years of age, which was in the 1980s, I can safely say that I didn't realise that such an option existed in this country.
Of course, I was something of a work in progress in those days of Reagan, Thatcher and Duran Duran. The words "pinot" and "noir" remained unpaired in my consciousness. Beer was the great lubricant of my social life and I became a bona fide Bud man more or less by accident. The beverage was simply ubiquitous at US taverns, nightclubs and ball parks.
As a matter of social history, my tendency to down Buds without thinking about the alternatives is a reminder of just how easy it was to make bad choices in the 1980s. I never cut my hair into a mullet during the decade, sported a yellow tie or slapped a Rick Astley record on my turntable; I always walked away from the Peruvian Marching Powder on offer amid the bright lights of the big city. Yet I bellied up to bars hither and yon and ordered thousands upon thousands of Budweisers (based on my estimate of a couple per night, which, I'm afraid, is probably conservative).
The funny thing is that I don't remember any of those Buds tasting particularly good."
