I must have missed the tasting room. I was talking about the free beer you get at the sky bar. I went there 5 years ago though so it might be a bit different.

Ya, must be. they took us to a tasting bar where they had a bunch of brews that don't necessarily come to North America. I'm not a big guiness guy, but they had North Star, which was awesome. Too bad we can't get it across the pond that I know of. I loaded up in the Sky bar( which was really cool) too, just took them when the bar tender wasn't looking. It's not free though, you have to pay for the tour. Remember?

Well you have to pay for the tour. So it isn't a free beer. I guess I should call it a complimentary beer. Also that tasting room definitely was not there went I wnet.

Well that wasn't available when I went either. My favorite part was the whole floor dedicated to the history of their advertisements.

How does one make a beer 'extra cold'?

You're lucky it only cost 10 euro. Pretty much everywhere in Dublin is a rip off

AntoinCD · 10-29-2008, 03:41 AM

It has to be done although I could be tempted with Harp, Magners, Becks, Vodka and Red Bull or Southern Comfort and lime

Nah, I just pack extra for that.

I go through a good three pints during the homily

Jughead10 · 10-29-2008, 10:27 AM

I was pissed yesterday. I went out and got six pack of Brooklyn's Post Road Pumpkin ale. Then my beer of the month club came in the mail. Guess what was part of this shipment? 3 12oz bottles of Post Road Pumpkin.

9 Beers isn't something to be upset about. Providing they taste good.

Obviously 9 beers isn't a problem. I just would have bought a differet 6 pack had I known.

Use your brain Jughead, beer of the month + October usually involves pumpkin

Well considering the amount of stouts and brown ales I received in the summer months, I wasn't so sure. Regardless, of all the pumpkin beers available, they couldn't send me one from a brewery I haven't been to over 10 times?
