It's good to be a beer snob but in truth, as standard draught lager goes in Ireland, Heineken is the best by a distance.

£3.00 is the standard price in locals pubs in Newry but some have moved up to £3.20 in past few months. Entertainment bars on the town are around £3.60.

Banbridge tends to be around 10/20p cheaper for a pint than Newry. How bars are staying open and paying wages with the margin at £2.80 a pint I've no idea.

Can't stand Heineken. Hop House is way better as a larger.

Nothing like a good Heineken.

You started off so well.

Clonmel beats heineken hands down. (I really like heineken too)

Belfast lager is actually one of the better lagers about in my view.

I'm not a beer snob by any stretch (only a whiskey one) as I pretty much drink pints of nothing other than Guinness these days but Heineken is one I absolutely try to avoid. Think there are plenty of better lagers

f**king rocket fuel!!!

Smithwicks seems to be having a renaissance at the minute as well!

All prices are for Guinness/ Smithwicks.
Post work drinks in Dublin are now €5.10 a pint. Then on the walk home Northside I get one for €4.50.
A great spot at the top of Camden St area is O'Connells who have pints for €4.50 last time I was there. Everywhere else around them is 50-60c more.

In the locals at home in Kildare you are looking at €4.30-€4.50.

Never get a hangover with  Heineken, not in the Budweiser or miller category of sore heads😗
you've only had enough to drink when you cant hold onto the ground

£4 the norm on the Down side of the Ormeau road, although  £4.40 i believe in one of the locals.

Lager drinkers can't tell the difference between big brands in blind taste tests:

Budweiser tastes very bland and that's what makes it very identifiable. Heineken I could tell just by how violently rotten I find it. The rest I probably wouldn't have a clue blind.

Cider tastes better than larger. Stout tastes better than larger. It's at the bottom of the foot chain.

All pints are £3 in club with exception of Heverlee which is £3.20. Guinness in our club is pure quality BTW.

Pint of Guinness is $8.25 in Johnny Foley's, San Francisco.

And it's not great.
