You might think so but no, though you can pay to get in to regular pubs to drink pints to celebrate Arthur, as if we dont celebrate him enough during the year....
I know someone working in the store house and he was saying that they have to pull 2000 pints from 17:00 on and will be giving them to spectators outside to raise a glass at 17:59. He was saying is all. Not sure how true this is
Ummm, one hour old pints
I dunno, it seems like a complete scam to get people drinking at 6PM, and charge them for it. It feels to me that Arthur should be giving something back to the people who kept him afloat for the last 250 years, not getting them to to pay into pubs they can walk into for free the other 364 days of the year.
PS I realise there are gigs in said pubs but.....
Re Arthur giving something back.what about the thousands of people whom are kept in employment,not just the direct staff,but pubs clubs,restaurants, cleaning companys,agencys ,suppliers ,visitors to the country..and all the other off shoots.
I know someone who works there and there are an amazing employer,the benifits are unheard of.
Plus Id imagine that with the amount of " celebritys" around the towns that Guinness would have spent more than was sold in pints..
Would you like to put any figures on the cost of alcohol abuse in Ireland over the 250 years?Most pubs were offering Guinness at 3 Euro a pint..

Priceless...Would you like to put any figures on the cost of alcohol abuse in Ireland over the 250 years?

Do you think they had any role in increasing alcohol consumption, given their strategy of heavy advertising and promotions?Also.....bit of a stretch to lay alcohol abuse at door of Guinness -

Did the Baron or the Saint have a strategy of sponsoring student events to get young people hooked on their brands?In fairness Complainer,would you blame Baron de Rothschild for alcohol abuse in France?
Perhaps we should lay the blame at the feet of St. Benedict. For it is his monks that gave the world Dom Perignon and strong Belgian beers. Mmm strong belgian beers....
