iffypop Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I dont agree with all this 'i'm english so couldnt care less' ignorance that i've read on Sheffield Forum a bit.. I mean if you dont agree with the commercial side, fine, but thats no excuse for dismissing others' traditions and celebrations! Shame I'm not a Guiness drinker.. I'm waiting for a German Lager Festival bandwagon to jump on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco_Cat Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I love St Patrick's day, all these first time Guinness drinkers. Buy a pint to celebrate, have one sip. Don't like it. Put it down for me to poach when they go on to something easier on the palette. But after getting into Black Mass I've found Guinness no longer has the same appeal.

Tim42 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 What was the most expensive pint of Guinness on sale anywhere in Sheffield on St. Pats day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground1 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Some places was doing offers, where i went if you bought a pint for £1.85 i think and then you got another for £1.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it in the Dev cat because it was called black mass and sounded cool. It was a pure bonus that it happened to be really tasty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been discussed many times: Guinness are really good at marketing. Simple as that. St Patrick doesn't really come into it. England doesn't have a quality brewery, with the clout to champion St George's day. I mean what's the biggest company that we have. Can you imagine carling sponsoring it? That would just be rubbish. We'd all end up drinking crap beer, burping loads and never getting drunk! It would be a farce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
