    Why doesn't it sell well in England and Wales (**** Scotland it'll cost £10 a pint)?

    We all go to Dublin and drink all sorts and some of the IPA's and blonde beers as well as the Guinness are superb but over here you get Guinness and now Hop House 13 but that's it.

    Plenty of English IPAs, so I guess lack of a market for Irish ones

    Yes there's some nice English ales I always drink when I'm out.
    When at home it's Belgian or Trappust beer.

    And most are bang average, the Irish seem to take an interest in what they are doing and are proud of the product. The English stuff is generally mass produced and not great.

    Some are but I noticed when in Dublin how there are so many really good beers and people go there to drink them but it's not exported, is it so that people still travel there?

    It sold by the gallon when I was on the piss <ok>


    Sort of expected shares in Guiness to take a tumble when I sobered up. All the other stuff is gnats anyway.


    Glad I could help.

    Is it true you guys drink beer warm? I always thought that was a meme.

    Irish beer is the best beer in the world.

    That's almost Matth-ish in its brevity, simplicity and precision <whistle>
