Re: guinness

I was told it was £4 a can in Mollys, something I could drink all night, but not at that price..

Re: guinness

Best to wean yourself ot the guinness before you go, as places like Molly's and Bernards rely on regulars taking a few tins for them and then knock it out at 350rps a go.
:omg

I've often taken a dozen cans for myself. After a hot dusty day, sheer bliss to sit on balcony with ice cold Guinness.
Depends on how light you travel as to how much you can pack

and of course you have to have the will power to ration yourself.

Great idea, will they not burst during flight if you have them in your cases.

Re: guinness

Must admit that crossed my mind when i first did it, but never had a problem. Always made sure they were well wrapped in plastic bags just is case they got battered about.
Just leave in fridge for a couple of days to chill.
MMMmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

Re: guinness

At that price a little rich for me I am afraid even if I did drink Guinness.When in Goa and anywhere else for that matter I tend to stick to the local stuff.Drives me bonkers when my OH insists on drinking Budweiser wherever we are in the world.Filthy American junk that it is.Her decision of course but I am more than happy to bring back memories of sipping Kingfisher watching the sun go down on the beach.

Just what I hope to be doing in five weeks or so.

Re: guinness

Looking forward to my first bottle of King's also papa, get fed up of the taste of it towards the end of the fortnight, or is that due to the thoughts of having to come home...

Re: guinness

Could be Spike.Strange though a day or two after arriving home and catching up with all the bills that have arrived while you were away,getting up to another grey wet day that beer on the beach seems all of a sudden a million miles away.Still counting the days down to my first one.
