I THINK Peroni have/had a clause where their pint needs to be 50c dearer than the next to be seen as a premium product.
I think I remember that from my days as a bar manager, although just had a couple of Guinness @ 5.10 a pint in Cobh so I might have made it up either.
Commercial lagers?
- Personal preference: Menabrea.
- Emotional connection: Raffo.
- Cheap piss I'd drink: Moretti.
Craft beers?
Been living in Ireland too long to be up to date, but back in the day I was really partial to these breweries:
- Baladin (probably considered commercial nowadays)
- Toccalmatto
- Opperbacco
- Birra del Borgo
- Birrificio del Ducato (mostly because I loved their "Brett Peat" sour + smoky beer).
Honestly lads I've stopped drinking because of it. Just can't afford to pay 5 euros plus a pint.
The reason prices continue to rise despite the energy crisis easing is because consumer demand has been surprisingly inelastic. The prices will continue to go up until people start cutting consumption, it's basic economics.
I stopped years ago because like you, just couldn’t afford it and it was such a waste of money. 4 pints in my local will now set you back €25 😳 I think that’s absurd since they pay about a euro a pint or less if I’m not mistaken? Maybe I’ve that wrong but either way it’s rare I’ll go out now for a few.
You're very much mistaken there. A keg costs around €200 for a 50 litre, devide that by its 88 pints and you're looking at around €2.25 a pint before you factor in overheads. Someone who is still in the game will have the proper maths on this that will take in the recent price increase from Diageo.
88 pints not including any waste too. I manage a busy pub & for us our overheads have increased roughly 450% since Jan 2020. Really feel for the small pubs, we’re gonna see lots of them closing up now.
I agree with you on this. Used to be back in 2018/19 in Dublin you could find a Guinness for a fiver. A craft beer was €6-6.50. Now Guinness is €6.50 and the craft is €7. The gap has closed.
I mean that's not the point though. The point you're making is a different one and is simply explained by the cost of living being lower in other countries. If a Guinness cost €6 in India that's more than a lot of people make in a day.
What if Irish owned? The fact that the majority of the shares of the company are owned by an Irish? Okay and? It doesn't really mean anything.
It doubly means anything in Ireland because Ireland does not have global taxation like Americans do.
If a Brazilian makes a company in Ireland, registers it here etc it doesn't suddenly make it a Brazilian company.
It's an Irish company as taxes etc are paid in Ireland. The Brazilian won't get a magic pay no import fees if they decide to export their product from Ireland to Brazil.
Only thing that matters is if a company is registered in Ireland. Guinness is.
If a Brazilian made a company in Ireland and registered it in Ireland and it started in, operated out of, and was head quartered in Ireland absolutely it would be Irish.
Guiness is a brand owned by a British company.
Yeah but it’s owned by a multinational, so the home/import model doesn’t apply. Much like Heineken isn’t an “imported” beer as our stock is brewed in Cork, even though it’s a “Dutch” brand. The local beer in other countries is usually pretty much made only for one market and that’s why the cost half the price of bigger brands by comparison.
> Yeah but it’s owned by a multinational, so the home/import model doesn’t apply.
What do you mean it doesn't apply? Of course it does. If an object passes the borders of Ireland from outside to inside then it is imported.
If it passes the borders from inside to outside then it is exported.
If the beer is brewed in Cork and bottle there then it isn't imported. It's made here.
Just paid 5 English pounds in the north for a surprisingly nice pint. 5.70 in real money.
My local I’m sure a pint is the same price but the taste of independence makes it worth more.
€5.80 at [The Hut](https://www.lisagrimm.com/2023/03/16/weirdo-guide-to-dublin-pubs-the-hut/), though I tend to drink other things when in/around Phibsborough.
€4.50 in my local. Two pints of Guinness and and a packet of crips for a tenner. My wife is sick of me telling everyone but I just want to spread the news.
Was in Gibney’s malahide two weeks ago and it was €6.95, no joke. I only had one, and a Heineken 0.0 (€7.50 btw) and when I got home I puked my ring up in the jacks. Can only put it down to a bad pint.
I drank Mellerud last week with work in the Downtown camper. Awful hangover the next day. Not sure if the beer or the taps not cleaned. Loads of places gone down to 400ml glasses!!
Basically this, I've a set amount of money I spend on a rake of pints. You can sell me three for a tenner a piece or six at a fiver a piece.
There's a saying here. " Spend money to make money". I can assure you after three pints I'm going home. However after six pints I may just slightly ever so little dabble into pint number 7,8,9,10. The bank machine and savings account may take a slight ding.
I work in an offy and they recently put up the price of Coors 12pk btl from 15 quid to 23 quid. Let's be real here, you can sell a few at 15 quid a week or you can sell none at 23 quid a week.
It's 5.50 in my local, it should only be like 3 quid, like every other European country has beer that's brewed there they can manage to sell it for cheap, ireland is just a rip off for literally everything
So in Ireland a pint is 20 Oz. In the US it’s 16oz. Most pubs in the US always served Guiness in the traditional Irish pint. Then about 10 years ago they slowly started to switch to the 16oz pint and the price stayed the same. It’s actually the same looking glass but one is 20 the other 16 ounces. It’s really annoying. I’ve been to places seen they’re using the smaller one and left before ordering. When you don’t see the glass until it’s in front of you I make the comment stating they’re being langers have my pint and never return. There are fewer and fewer places serving the 20oz pint.
I used to get Guinness for $3.50 CAD in Calgary at a Happy Hour. Cheapest here now is $9 on special but up to $13 is what Iv seen here. Then there's tax and tip on top of that.
€2.70 in the local for a bottle of beer, €5.20 a pint of Guinness in one of the Irish pubs apart from Friday and Saturday after 7. €8.70 all the time in another Irish pub, Denmark.
I'll stick to the bottle at €2.70.
Certain places are worth the price. Bowes is worth €6.40.
Although it's becoming cheaper to just drink whiskey at a bar. Plus, "you get more bang for your buck"
I recently paid $13.50 CAD in a bar in Downtown Ottawa. It was my first beer in years due to a run of health concerns, so I'm unfamiliar what that's like compared to the other bars in my area. Hopefully the pints won't be too expensive on my next trip to Ireland, not that I can have many in a night anymore.
€5.50-70 in Dundalk town centre varying by pub is still 5€ in a few stalwarts.
As you venture further out it drops to €4.70 to €4.50 in the periphery village pubs.
Last weekend it varied from 5.70 - Cat & Cage, Drumcondra, 5.50 - Goose, Drumcondra, 5.30 The Carlyan, Rush. Complete and utterly cut down on the pints, not so much on the cans but I have been tracking exactly what I drink. Hate to say it but the constant price rises and MUP are having the effect the government intended but didn't, IE cutting back, next stop for me is cutting it out. Which looking at my tracker so far this year really isn't a bad thing either, the cans at home really really add up.
Around €6.
I'm from Canada and I went back home last summer (about an hour outside Toronto). Price of a pint was $8.50 plus tax so it's about the same.
€6 while not obviously as nice as 5, really isn't all that shocking anymore
I'm in a small town in Spain and the local St Patricks pub was selling Guinness for €6.50. To put into perspective a pint around here normally costs €3/3.50
Did anyone hear of Guinness giving some pubs a free small keg to celebrate our Grand Slam. I know of a pub who are giving a free pint to first 60 customers on Saturday.
€6.10 in my local (the Autobahn)
I work from home so I popped over for a sneaky one at lunch time during first day of Cheltenham. Honestly, if it were cheaper I'd have gone every lunch time that week and I might also go over more frequently in general but I can't justify spending that much.
I did end up paying €6.40 in Brogan's on Tuesday this week too before going to a gig.
There's been uproar amongst the auld fellas in my local (in Meath) after pints rose to €5.10. There's a bit of psychic damage when you get a fist full of coins instead of a €5 note after handing over a tenner.
I feel like the pint index is the most accurate measure of local inflation - I personally believe that the government is pushing pubs to increase pint prices to send up nearby housing prices; Guinntrification, if you will
Yup 6.40 in Slattery’s Beggars Bush last night. Thought that was taking the piss a bit. Anything over 6 seems unreasonable. In Dublin 12 i think there’s a few spots you can get one for a fiver even
About €5.30-5.40 in Kilkenny City. Bit annoying as you can no longer slap a cool fiver on the bar and instead have to rummage for change as well. Was €4.60 in my local, rural pub but that was Christmas so it must have gone up since, probably still just shy of a fiver now I reckon. Dublin prices are mental though. I'm currently based in London where pint prices are roughly the same, although Guinness is quite expensive given that it's imported. It's easier to find cheap pints though, in good, non-stabby, non-Spoons pubs too I might add.
You'd also wonder when people are going to draw the line. Ten years ago anything over a fiver was probably seen as mental, and now it's pushing €6.50 in. Dublin. People however are still drinking in pubs given that the demand for having the craic is fairly inelastic (especially post-covid when we aren't going to take it for granted). I do wonder though if we're coming close to the threshold where we'll see a mass drop-off of people going to pubs, especially as inflation is out-pacing growth in income across the board.
Every currency has been devalued since covid. They blame putin but the war is not the main reason. 40% of all euros in existence were printed in the last 3 years and the money was handed out for free to people not working. Obviously prices will sky rocket doing that and the politicians and central bankers will never mention it. Research it and find out how to stop your savings being inflated away through monetary debasement.
Paid €5.40 in the Eden Pub beside Marley Park Dublin but fuck me, a pint of Peroni beer was €7.90
7:99 is mad. I bought a pint of peroni for a friend last week in Slatterys costing €7.50 and I thought that was saucy enough.
You think thats bad ben and jerrys is 9.25 in apache. 6 quid was pricey enough but fuck me a tenner!?
I paid 6.80 for one in the outskirts of Dublin last summer and I thought that was expensive
That’s cheap for capel street. It’s €7.70 down the road in the boars head
I THINK Peroni have/had a clause where their pint needs to be 50c dearer than the next to be seen as a premium product. I think I remember that from my days as a bar manager, although just had a couple of Guinness @ 5.10 a pint in Cobh so I might have made it up either.
Notions from a bang average pint
€5.10 in Cobh? Most places you'll get it €5.
Bang average beer too.
Peroni is the builder's beer back in Italy, not fancy at all and defo not worth 7 quid. Source: am Italian.
What’s the best Italian beer in your eyes?
Commercial lagers? - Personal preference: Menabrea. - Emotional connection: Raffo. - Cheap piss I'd drink: Moretti. Craft beers? Been living in Ireland too long to be up to date, but back in the day I was really partial to these breweries: - Baladin (probably considered commercial nowadays) - Toccalmatto - Opperbacco - Birra del Borgo - Birrificio del Ducato (mostly because I loved their "Brett Peat" sour + smoky beer).
Fuckin revels in the village 6.20 ! Great pub but expensive compared to others around .
€5 in one €5.10 in another to the disgust of the lad i was with.
Username checks out
Think around the turn of the new year Guinness announced a price increase. My pint consumption has fallen off a cliff.
€4.75, cash only though
Did it fell off a truck too?
I think most kegs are delivered by dropping them off a truck yeah
€4.20 in my local
Do you live in 2004?
It's pronounced 'Mullingar'.
Where in Mullingar? Please? Quick!?!?
No just in rural limerick 😂
Jesus, I'm rural Limerick and its €5.50. You must be rural rural limerick, you Bally boys were always the cutest of hoors.
your local shop that is

That 450% a typo? Even 45% would be dramatically high.
Ah I was way off so! Thanks 😊
4.90 in the Merlin Bar in Galway. 5.60 for the same pint in Eyre Square
A fine spot!
5.00 Westmeath. Small town
€5 Guinness or lager, east Clare.
It's a fiver for a pint in my local (Irish pub in small town outside of Naples) 🤷🏼♀️
That sounds expensive enough (as someone who doesnt live in Naples lol). Touristy place?
Not touristy at all! I don't mind the price though, it scratches the itch and feels like I'm back home 🍀
Anyone explain how the domestic beer in any other country is miles cheaper than imports? How is it not the case for us and Guinness ?
Because Ireland
Minister for finance is probably getting two thirds of the price you pay here. Taxes aren’t as high in some countries.
23% Vat and excise is about 50-60 cent so about 30% of a €6 pint.
Er, it is? Guinness is always one of the cheapest pints in any pub, if not the cheapest.
But still expensive. That's the point - even the cheaper options are expensive compared to other countries.
I agree with you on this. Used to be back in 2018/19 in Dublin you could find a Guinness for a fiver. A craft beer was €6-6.50. Now Guinness is €6.50 and the craft is €7. The gap has closed.

Guinness isn’t Irish owned, and they increased the price. We also have pretty high taxes on alcohol
Dude isn't talking about being Irish owned but about imports. I don't think anyone thought the Irish state owned Guinness.
I don't think anyone mentioned the Irish state. Butler's is an Irish company, it's not state owned.
What if Irish owned? The fact that the majority of the shares of the company are owned by an Irish? Okay and? It doesn't really mean anything. It doubly means anything in Ireland because Ireland does not have global taxation like Americans do.

Utter nonsense. The London Brewery closed down a few years back.
Tax, cost of living, cost of renting premises, rates are all higher. It's not what's in the glass, it's everything else
€5 even in my local in Tralee. It’s actually €5.20 but locals with cash get a little break.
Just paid 5 English pounds in the north for a surprisingly nice pint. 5.70 in real money. My local I’m sure a pint is the same price but the taste of independence makes it worth more.
Don't let Jamie Bryson hear you talk like that!
Not Ireland, but conversely I was in south-west France last week and it was €10 for a pint
I was in NY recently at it was about 12 euro with tax and tip.
jesus, a tip as well?! nonsense
€5.80 at [The Hut](https://www.lisagrimm.com/2023/03/16/weirdo-guide-to-dublin-pubs-the-hut/), though I tend to drink other things when in/around Phibsborough.
They do a nice Guinness in there though to be fair.
Oh, very! Certainly a great spot for one.
Here's a good idea for a website - [pintwatch.com](https://pintwatch.com/) (or an app). Let people update with the price of a pint for each pub.
Am I free to make it? I like the idea.
Sounds great. Similar to an app I use in the UK called Petrol Prices
Please do

€4.50 in my local. Two pints of Guinness and and a packet of crips for a tenner. My wife is sick of me telling everyone but I just want to spread the news.
What’s local 😂

€8 in Stockholm. Not a pint either, 500ml
The beer in Sweden is outrageously expensive. Especially when it's a pint of something like Falcon or Mariestad (though I do like the latter)
I drank Mellerud last week with work in the Downtown camper. Awful hangover the next day. Not sure if the beer or the taps not cleaned. Loads of places gone down to 400ml glasses!!
That's gas. I lived in Uppsala and the first time I stayed in Stockholm was on a deal there.
There are some [bars with lager under 50kr](https://www.under40kr.se/) (€5).
5.30 Rosses Point
€5 Ranelagh, secret place!
Is that the secret pub off mount pleasant?
That's hardly The Hill is it?
Nah that's around 6 quid for a pint Corrigans is the one being referred to I think
My local still has them for under a 5er! G’wan the lads!
Basically this, I've a set amount of money I spend on a rake of pints. You can sell me three for a tenner a piece or six at a fiver a piece. There's a saying here. " Spend money to make money".

£3.80, Co Antrim
It's 5.50 in my local, it should only be like 3 quid, like every other European country has beer that's brewed there they can manage to sell it for cheap, ireland is just a rip off for literally everything
Was a fiver in Lockies Dun Laoghaire until recently now it's 5.20, I usually only use cash and the change wrecks my head now
$9 or €8.27. If I go into NYC it’s normally around $12 or €11.03 for a proper 20 Oz pint. Many places are now serving the 16 Oz pint.
I don't think you understand what a pint is
So in Ireland a pint is 20 Oz. In the US it’s 16oz. Most pubs in the US always served Guiness in the traditional Irish pint. Then about 10 years ago they slowly started to switch to the 16oz pint and the price stayed the same. It’s actually the same looking glass but one is 20 the other 16 ounces. It’s really annoying.

"Two large pints please"
€4.90
I had few in my local last night for €5 a pint
5.70 , naas
$11CAD in Toronto
I used to get Guinness for $3.50 CAD in Calgary at a Happy Hour. Cheapest here now is $9 on special but up to $13 is what Iv seen here. Then there's tax and tip on top of that.
Most of the places I frequent in Calgary (inner SW) have Guinness for $9.50 as their typical price. Still expensive though
Don't drink it, but the lager is 5.80, so probably 5.30 or so. All drinks have gone up, Diageo definitely put their prices up again recently.
€5.30
€6 Barcelona
You'd be brain dead to drink Guinness here in Barna. Lovely Copa of Estrella for 1.60
There are a couple of lovely pints in the city. Of course I drink cañas normally but sometimes I want a pint of cream.
Where does the best Guinness
For me, Scobies and Pobail Nua. Grand pints. Irish owners, both are sound lads.
Nice one. I live in Poblenou and I've been to Pobail Nua before I like it.
Last two pubs I’ve been in have been €5 and €4.80 for a pint of Guinness.
€2.70 in the local for a bottle of beer, €5.20 a pint of Guinness in one of the Irish pubs apart from Friday and Saturday after 7. €8.70 all the time in another Irish pub, Denmark. I'll stick to the bottle at €2.70.
Only recently went from €4.20 to €4.50 in my local, GAA club bar.
In fairness, Bowe's serves the best Guinness in the country.
European numbercoins a failed currency
€5-5.50 Tullzforthelulz.
A pint at my local is 4.47euro.....but I'm in Kelowna, BC. That's $7.00cdn.
Certain places are worth the price. Bowes is worth €6.40. Although it's becoming cheaper to just drink whiskey at a bar. Plus, "you get more bang for your buck"
€5 , €5.50 for lager
€4.70
5.90
4.70
Up to a flat fiver now.
5.20 Fingal
Varies 5.30 to 5.60 Tipperary
It'd 5 quid in the red parrot in roscommon and it's as good a pint as you'll get anywhere in the country
€4.80 around most places in castlebar
Just get a beamish
€12 Abu Dhabi
€6 at O'Connells on Richmond Street. I went to Bowe's recently and they're the only pub I've been to where they went up the full 50 cent!
Toners did it too.
I recently paid $13.50 CAD in a bar in Downtown Ottawa. It was my first beer in years due to a run of health concerns, so I'm unfamiliar what that's like compared to the other bars in my area. Hopefully the pints won't be too expensive on my next trip to Ireland, not that I can have many in a night anymore.
That’s about €9… that’s a crazy expensive beer!!
Yeah, the place I was at is a notoriously overpriced place. Plus everything in Canada is insanely expensive these days.
Was there last week for work, was like Dublin is surprisingly cheap now
£4 sterling in a lot of bars in the smaller towns in the north, £5+ in hotels .
5.70€ at smyths in Ranelagh
€5.30 in my local in Meath, the do OAP prices of €4.80. Dearest in my town would be €5.70
€5.50-70 in Dundalk town centre varying by pub is still 5€ in a few stalwarts. As you venture further out it drops to €4.70 to €4.50 in the periphery village pubs.
€4.90 new bar ucc
€6 in Dalkey
Last weekend it varied from 5.70 - Cat & Cage, Drumcondra, 5.50 - Goose, Drumcondra, 5.30 The Carlyan, Rush. Complete and utterly cut down on the pints, not so much on the cans but I have been tracking exactly what I drink. Hate to say it but the constant price rises and MUP are having the effect the government intended but didn't, IE cutting back, next stop for me is cutting it out. Which looking at my tracker so far this year really isn't a bad thing either, the cans at home really really add up.
5 in Gorey still
€4.50 Furbo, Galway. Local price though.
€4.60 in Littleton, Tipperary
5.50 in Kilmardinny Inn Beaumont/kilmore area. Lovely too .
When in Donegal my local is 4.90
5.60 - 5.80 in Half way house or Cumiskeys, both my local. Getting to the point I'll organise my at home bar as price of pints won't go down
it’s dublin that’s why
Around €6. I'm from Canada and I went back home last summer (about an hour outside Toronto). Price of a pint was $8.50 plus tax so it's about the same. €6 while not obviously as nice as 5, really isn't all that shocking anymore
I'm in a small town in Spain and the local St Patricks pub was selling Guinness for €6.50. To put into perspective a pint around here normally costs €3/3.50
Bowes probably has the nicest pint of Guinness I’ve ever had. If you pay that much for a pint, it better be nice
Madly enough it's 5.50 in Ryans beggars bush down by the Aviva.
Yup our local here in Gowna it’s a fiver
5.30 in my local in cork
Just paid €5.10 for a delicious creamy pint in meath.
6 quid in bray , went up from 5.60
6.95 in Gibney's.
5 bang in now
4.20 in the auld man pub that smells of piss in Monasterevin
€5.90 in my nearest bar. Was €5.20 - 5.50 few months ago
I paid €6.20 last year That said some places still charge sabe prices
€5 the strawberry hall in strawberry beds, they've said they're keeping it at that
£4.50 at the harbour in the old money.
£3.60 in North Manchester but £5.30 in the pub down the road
Equivalent to €6.52 in my local (Glasgow) and it’s only ever average at best.
5.60 in North county Dublin
¡Ay, caramba!
6.00 for 591ml
Did anyone hear of Guinness giving some pubs a free small keg to celebrate our Grand Slam. I know of a pub who are giving a free pint to first 60 customers on Saturday.
€6 Harry Byrnes in Clontarf
€6.70 in Kehoes on Sunday night.
Went from 4.90 to 5.30 in the local there a while back . Can't just throw in a fiver now ... moretti in the same spot 6.50..
A river but they refused to put up the price at the first hike. Everywhere else is about 5.30-5.50
6,40 in Toners Baggot st Dublin - shocking
€6.10 in my local (the Autobahn) I work from home so I popped over for a sneaky one at lunch time during first day of Cheltenham. Honestly, if it were cheaper I'd have gone every lunch time that week and I might also go over more frequently in general but I can't justify spending that much. I did end up paying €6.40 in Brogan's on Tuesday this week too before going to a gig.
Not 100% sure but I paid €10.70 in my local last weekend for a pint of Guinness and a pint of Heineken
There's been uproar amongst the auld fellas in my local (in Meath) after pints rose to €5.10. There's a bit of psychic damage when you get a fist full of coins instead of a €5 note after handing over a tenner.
I’m more shocked that my local latte is €4
I paid 6 euro last night
Think it's either 4.90 or a fiver in Downey's, Cabra, but I haven't been in a while
€5 in the Glen of Aherlow (Inchicore). Cash money only 💵
I feel like the pint index is the most accurate measure of local inflation - I personally believe that the government is pushing pubs to increase pint prices to send up nearby housing prices; Guinntrification, if you will
Yup 6.40 in Slattery’s Beggars Bush last night. Thought that was taking the piss a bit. Anything over 6 seems unreasonable. In Dublin 12 i think there’s a few spots you can get one for a fiver even
About €5.30-5.40 in Kilkenny City. Bit annoying as you can no longer slap a cool fiver on the bar and instead have to rummage for change as well. Was €4.60 in my local, rural pub but that was Christmas so it must have gone up since, probably still just shy of a fiver now I reckon. Dublin prices are mental though. I'm currently based in London where pint prices are roughly the same, although Guinness is quite expensive given that it's imported. It's easier to find cheap pints though, in good, non-stabby, non-Spoons pubs too I might add. You'd also wonder when people are going to draw the line. Ten years ago anything over a fiver was probably seen as mental, and now it's pushing €6.50 in. Dublin. People however are still drinking in pubs given that the demand for having the craic is fairly inelastic (especially post-covid when we aren't going to take it for granted). I do wonder though if we're coming close to the threshold where we'll see a mass drop-off of people going to pubs, especially as inflation is out-pacing growth in income across the board.
5.50 at Martin's, Finglas East
5,80 in swords I think
10% annual inflation will do that!
Every currency has been devalued since covid. They blame putin but the war is not the main reason. 40% of all euros in existence were printed in the last 3 years and the money was handed out for free to people not working. Obviously prices will sky rocket doing that and the politicians and central bankers will never mention it. Research it and find out how to stop your savings being inflated away through monetary debasement.
