getting ready

 for the weekend.

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

empties

empty kegs need to be picked up after the weekend.

empties for full -- it's the weekend

full or empty

I wonder if this truck was delivering or picking up these kegs.  Were they empty or full.  Considering it was on a Monday morning, I assume he was collecting the empties.  There are at least eight pubs in town, three in the area where the truck is.   It's funny to see Budweiser here where it's considered an import.  Far from a good tasting beer in my opinion.
