Now might be a good time to say No and move to Beamish, or even Murphy’s. Two fine stouts.
€7 is the key psychological barrier. Once it’s past €7 as standard it might as well be anything – just like cigarettes with €15. #WeimarDublin
Diageo are scum
I’ll follow it to the tenner in my local and pack in the drinking then.
“6 cent per pint from February 3rd”
So that’s €1-2 in publicans eyes
Much wants more
I didn’t know a pint of Guiness could jump!
Damn poor Diageo must be really struggling…(checks their previous years profits…)…nope just greedy beyond belief.
It’s just price gouging.
Where is Islands Edge to save us now
Are we ready to admit that beamish needs to be a thing nationwide yet
Who can do the pint price to median salary graph for us, who’s good at maths lads
More popularity = more people willing to pay overinflated prices.
Guinness have always been cute hoors, wouldn’t be in their make-up to miss tjis sort of an opportunity.
Guinness are Fu*k*ng themselves in the A**!
I remember, working in a Dublin pub, when the price of a pint passed the £1 mark in, I think, 1981. Thousands of pint drinkers swore they’d never drink again. They were all back within 24 hours. In Diageo, they know what they are doing.
TBF, its a highly addictive substance some people seem to forget that, giving up can be quite difficult even more so if as it is heavily ingrained in our society and I say that as a drinker. I like a pint or few cans of beer however I think its starting to reach a point that the effort of just giving it up is worth it. Not to stick it to anyone, lets be honest, its now an expensive substance that literally does nothing for you in fact it is toxic and carcinogenic. As someone said, Diageo are playing a blinder doing the HSEs and NA groups work for them here.
Ah, to be fair I’m sure the rent for Guinness at James Gate is extreme, right? RIGHT????
I kind of want a pint of Guinness
I know this is sacrilege to say but I fucking hate Guinness.
Tastes like shit.
I prefer cider anyways.
Also, the Guinness family assisted the Brits against Irish independence. The company is now owned by a foreign brand. So in both cases, I don’t see it as Irish and they can fuck off pretending they are.
I for one welcome our new Beamish overlords.
Tell me again that it’s the Vat rate that’s killing the hospitality industry.
The size and frequency of increases are dictated by what the market can tolerate. Diageo know that consumers will moan and groan about all the incremental increases, but they also know that their consumers will continue to buy their product as long maintain the increases remain within a certain tolerable margin. It takes a lot to make the collective consumer boycott a product on priciple. Their marketing and financial teams know what they’re doing. It’s the same with every large company/ conglomerate. Grow, grow, grow. Extract value.
I go to my local for a pub quiz once a week.
This will probably kill a lot of my interest in going. Drink has gone way too expensive
Yeah, chat with the local pubs. This will wipe the last of the generational drinkers out, i think. The day of the Aul Lads at the bar will be finally put out of its long suffered misery.
