Personally,
Kettle crisps blow all the above away and they come in serious sized packets. Not the pozy 5 crisps and the bag is full size.
Just bought my first packet of Tayto "The Taste of Home". Then just discovered this thread.
Allright crisps.
back to Beer what is so good about all the beer in one country being dominated by basically one brewery. That is not taken beer seriously! Its the complete opposite. Plus why be proud of a beer initially brewed for Porters in London.
Its like being dominated by one type of bread. What it has achieved is the preservation of proper pubs, because there is less need for competetion.
Also micro-brewaries are now starting off in Ireland. With a massive one now established in Dublin.
UK used to have 100's if not thousand of beers b4 the big 6 brewaries started to close down their competitors.
We are a poorer nation as a result.

Tayto 'the taste of home' are not made by Tayto of Coolock, they're made by Tayto of Tandragee. They're not the same company
There are a few microbreweries here, but if I go down to my local, which is a proper, old pub, not some new one; all they sell are the 'traditional' beers all pubs have - guinness, carlsberg, heineken, bass, murphys, smithwicks, etc. No local speciliaties, nothing
The nearest we have to a Harveys-like local brewer is Finians, which is available nearly everywhere.
I think it may be down to how pubs are owned here compared to the UK.

BTW, as a kid, if ever in a pub a big bag of Tayto Cheese and Onion and a glass of Red Lemonade was the BEST thing you could get. Sheer perfection
Of course in the UK you don't have red lemonade. Or Club Orange. Or Barrys Tea. Or Bachelors beans. Or Galtee or Denny rashers and sausages....

The brewers do not and CAN NOT own pubs here, by law. The publican owns the entire pub, building, licence, etc, and does his own supply chains. No equivalents of Wetherspoons or Yates over here.
The nearest we have is Fitzgeralds. One guy owns fifteen pubs. He's not a brewer though.

We're way more different from the UK than the US is; but in some ways we're way too similar - the same newspapers, same mobile networks - same media in general I guess.
The Independent in the UK is owned by the Irish Independent; we get the Sunday Times as a high-selling paper here, etc...

Red lemonade ? Sounds like TIZER to me.
Anyone caught drinking Tizer at my school when I were a lad was given a dead leg.

I'll be sure to give it a go. As long as no-one comes over and gives me a dead leg, cos I really hate that.
Must make your Southern Comfort and lemonades look weird.
