Thread Name: BS: What be price of Guinness where you be
Subject: RE: BS: What be price of Guinness where you be
I'll hafta check, but MY "local" sells the "can" (with the plastic fishing bobber) for $3.75. Last time I was at McGurk's in St. Louis' Soulard district it was $2.50 for a drawn 16oz pint and drawn nicely by a sweet lookin gal from Derry. That WAS a few years ago.
As I mentioned many times before, I am conducting a one man campaign for our local to install the proper draught system. I am beginning to think that Dennis is resisting the idea because he makes more on the cans!
A "four pack" of cans is around $8 and sometimes one can get a six pack of bottles for the same price at Walmurg's.
When in Atlanta a couple of years ago I was at a sports bar in the Mariott and the barkeep talked me into trying another stout when I had asked for Guinness. "If you don't think that this is better than Guinness, I'll give you the Guinness free". I drank deeply of what was the best "wrap yer tongue around this" libation I have EVER had the pleasure to swallow. Unfortunately I was unable to remember the name of that wonderful brew. I think that it was something like McPherson's but I have had no luck in rediscovering the stout. I had to leave early the next AM and haven't been back to Atlanta since.
