price increase

the price of a pint has increased by 7 cents excluding VAT. Guinness 0.0 has increased by nine cents per pint, excluding VAT.  Once VAT, duty and the pub margin are added it could result in an extra 30 cents for a pint – meaning Guinness could be well over €6 in many pubs and more than €7 in Dublin, according to Drinks Industry Ireland. 

It’s the fourth price rise in two years.  It's getting pretty spendy

  10. Yes, prices are rising daily.... even the basic necessities, like bread, eggs, milk..... and of course Guinness. Although it's not actually my taste. And anyway I don;t think I could afford 6 or 7 euros!

  15. What a pity, it's taking the fun out of men getting together to have a chat with one another in a pub, which my husband always used to enjoy.

  17. Perhaps the rise in the price of a pint will reduce the amount of drinking? While I have always have enjoyed a pint in Ireland, but only one. There must be a point at which people are unwilling to pay for a drink.

  18. With Those Prices , I Shall Belly Up To The Bar And Make It A Double - Yahooo00000 - I Met With A Guitar Player Regarding His New Project And We Each Enjoyed A Pint During Our Delightful Conversation - The Bill For Two Cold Brews $16.48 - Maybe Moms Sun Tea Is The Attractive Way To Go

    Stay Hip Mr Bill ,
    Cheers

  19. Every day there seems to be price increases.
    I think the pubs and restaurants are finding it tough (as well as everyone else!)

    All the best Jan

  20. I think I'd start making my own beer at those prices.

  21. We've seen the same kind of inflationary price hikes here in the States, Bill, so I'm not surprised. Let's see if President Trump can do something about it here, and that Ireland can follow suit. Blessings!

  31. We also have price increase in wine, spirits and beers.
    I still buy my Jameson whiskey for when I make a coffee, have a couple of bottles and I won't open one because it's expensive. Thank goodness I prefer tea.
