Subject: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Roberto Date: 17 Aug 03 - 03:15 AM I'd like to know how much is a pint of Guinness where you live. I've got the impression that the cost of it in my Country (Italy) is one of the highest in Europe, being 4.20 / 4.50 euros. Thank you. Roberto |

Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: LadyJean Date: 18 Aug 03 - 05:52 PM My mother and I were in a cafe' near St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Mother decided she wanted a large Coke, that didn't seem like a bad idea to me, even without the ice. So, we ordered. The Turkish gentleman who ran the cafe' brought us two enormous glasses, with one ice cube apiece, and announced, "Two pints of Guiness". |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: DonMeixner Date: 18 Aug 03 - 11:35 PM Over here, 20 some odd ounces of the stuff sold for US import if bought at a pub claiming to be authentic and Irish or English. 16 ounces if bought in a sports bar and poured by a bar maid who pours Coors Light all day long and simply fills the plastic cup (Gasp!!) and hands it to you looking like a Root Beer float. 10 ounces if bought at The Local Parrish Irish Fest where Irish music is either Danny O'Donnell wannabees who are French or Italian or The Glengarry Bhoys who are Canadian Scottish rockers and the money goes mainly to buy new uniforms for the Little League Hockey Team. 8.5 ounces if bought in the grocery store where the bottle is probably older than the Christmas Fruitcakes. The only thing consistant in all this is the price, $4.00 a glass. Don |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Billy the Bus Date: 18 Aug 03 - 11:50 PM Last pint o'Guiness I bought in New Zealand was something like $4.50NZ which would work out at around €1.5. Mind you, it isn't 'proper' Guiness, it's brewed in NZ. Cheers - Sam |

Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: PoppaGator Date: 08 Mar 05 - 03:52 PM $4.50 per 16-oz. pint in New Orleans. In practice, that's five bucks (or more) with tip. One newly-opened, off-the-beaten-track Irish Pub offers the option of an Imperial pint in addition to the US pint. Their prices may be a bit lower than at the more established downtown venues; I don't recall exactly. |

Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 10 Mar 05 - 06:36 PM Under two pounds in Wetherspoons, which is about same as M.Ted paid in McGlincheys in Philly. Unless of course that was for the miniature US pint, which would make it significantly dearer (pints here are 20 fluid ounces, not 16). |

In Toronto Canada it will run between $4.50 to $ 5.50 canadian depending on the location and whether ther is entertainment etc Well worth it when you consider the alternatives being offered. |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: PoppaGator Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:22 PM I paid $5 per 16-oz pint last night at O'Flaherty's in the French Quarter. I think it was $4.50 last time I was there. However: Thanks to Guinness's "St. Patrick's Season" promotion, we got some free glassware to compensate. With each pint bought this week, the buyer gets to keep his specially-printed commemorative pint glass. I suppose that's worth the extra half-dollar. No, wait a minute ~ you don't get a glass with every pint. The wife and I had a couple of pints each but got one glass apiece. I suppose it's one to a customer, per night (or per visit). |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:49 PM I have Guinness glass-ware out the wazoo! |

Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: GUEST Date: 11 Mar 05 - 04:21 PM Here in Maryland, USA it's $4.75 for an imperial pint, which is about 2.5 Pounds Sterling. So Padre, if your only 1/4 Irish why did you buy all 4 cans, 1 should be enough. Bob. |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: ranger1 Date: 11 Mar 05 - 05:18 PM Here in Portland, ME, at my regular haunt, the everyday cost for an imperial pint is $4.75. However, on Sunday they sell 16 oz. pints for $2.50. What day do you think I go to the pub? |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Jim McLean Date: 12 Mar 05 - 03:01 PM I did a Guinness Crawl recently here in Highgate, London, UK. The price varied from £1.80 to £3.00 all within a few hundred yards! |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Big Al Whittle Date: 12 Mar 05 - 05:14 PM its okay.personally I favour a high price. It has to be said that after twelve pints or so your throat gets very sticky and it loses ita ability to cure thirst, and then your shit turns black. there other unpleasant side effects, like drunkeness. a higher price would dissuade you from further excesses - perhaps. I saw Ian Paisley on the telly once saying Guinness is bad for you. Maybe his black attire is to remind him constantly of that twelve pint moment when the pooh hits the pan. |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 12 Mar 05 - 07:50 PM "It has to be said that after twelve pints or so your throat gets very sticky and it loses ita ability to cure thirst" That's a lie |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: patriot1314 Date: 13 Mar 05 - 07:07 AM Ah! My favourite tipple. 12 pints of the stuff is a tremendous aphrodisiac, however, it carries with it an ingenious built - in contraceptive! I really don't mind the price as it's the only thing I drink, but if you want quality, try Wellingtons Bar in Ayr for the best pint outside St. James's Brewery. And well priced at £2.20 as well. (did I mention the Sunday night acoustic session?) |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Dave Wynn Date: 13 Mar 05 - 10:54 AM Not all pints of Guinness are aphrodisiac....I had 6 one night and only five of em worked.....:-) Best two pints I ever had was in an Irish bar in Amsterdam and the Crown Bar in Belfast (one in each and not on the same day!)

Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: CharleyR Date: 13 Mar 05 - 11:19 AM I think it was about 4 euros 30 when I was living in Brussels last year. Here in Sheffield, UK it's about £2.10. Charley |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 13 Mar 05 - 02:49 PM I have yet to see (in this thread) a price I would consider to be OTT if there is no real ale available. A pint of the black stuff is always a valid alternative! Nigel (Looking forward to Paddy's night at the Newport folk club with "His Worship & the Pig") |
Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: Big Al Whittle Date: 13 Mar 05 - 04:07 PM well its around the twelve pint mark, that the sticky throat and the other things happen. I may have lost count, but I am willing to stand corrected on this point by a disinterested observer of the phenomenon. |

Subject: RE: BS: How much is a pint of Guinness? From: GUEST,petr Date: 14 Mar 05 - 07:15 PM in Vancouver it varies depending on the pub. the musicians get a break at our sessions at the Wolf & Hound its $3 (canadian) or so. Otherwise your looking at around $5.50 + tip usually $6.50 per pint. I guess in the UK and Ireland you dont tip, but then you have to get it yourself too. |
