Never trust the regulars

You could almost feel sorry for the Norwich landlord, Aidan Mahon, in this report, but he only has himself to blame. After spending £5,300 to take his regulars to Dublin to get a ‘objective’ view on whether Dublin Guinness tastes better than the London-brewed version he serves in his pub, they were imbued with the spirit of George Washington… and couldn’t tell a lie.

Great quote from one of the regulars –

“We certainly tried out enough pints in Norwich and then Dublin to help make sure it was a fair test.”

It may, or may not, be worth pointing out that, as the report states, Aidan was born in Cork

Let’s be having youse then!

Nominations please!
