[willabur]

Hey All,

Anyone have a load of swingtop bottles they want to move on let me know, will be able to collect anywhere in the dublin area and surrounds

[brenmurph]

whats your requirement, size, cost, with or without the flips

[irish_goat]

I say it all the time but check out the craft beer pubs.

The Brew Dock
Against the Grain
Kavanagh'
L. Mulligans
Bull and Castle

They nearly always have some stashed away and will save them up if not.

[brenmurph]

expensive to buy....very cheap if u can tap a local craft pub...but I would have thought they'd be well snapped up sees as half the country is brewin these days

I asked in the Bull and Castle and the guy refused saying they were for regulars only with a bit of an attitude. Haven't been back since.

Well done shiny....we havnt been near a certain other very popular craft pub over the same sort of bad attitude from 15 year old manager with  a very unpleasant attitude to his customers.....Customer service with an attitude...what happened the 'smile'....

It's interesting to hear those stories. Sorry to hijack the thread but twice in different brew pubs this year alone I've witnessed a bar man very rudely dismiss someone ordering a macro beer. I work in the service industry and to me a customer is a customer and ordering the "wrong" beer hardly deserves the criticism they received.

i know exactly how it feels to be surrounded by craft beers and just want a bloody heineken to give the mouth a rest

Just don't serve macros if you don't think people should buy them.

The first time was when I finally persuaded my gf to come to a brew pub with me. She asked for a miller (the horror!) and was told we sorry don't serve that piss! There is a much nicer way to say sorry craft beer only. Needless to say I didn't get to stay for a second pint. Thanks mr bar man!

[CARA]

Might have been me haha

This is the reason I love to see Heineken tap at the bar. I know my buddy's will stay longer than 1 round.

Cheers Cara, I had to go sup Guinness and listen to her bitch about it all night!!! : )

You'd think the staff would be trained to say "sorry we don't have *insert macro* but you should try *insert craft alternative*". When my local craft bar opened almost everyone bar us beer fanatics drank the Fischers Helles they had on top because its what the barman told them to drink. Eventually they branched out. People need gateway drinks.
