TOPIC:

Just sitting in the garden with my Porterhouse Oyster stout and I am thinking.
The Porterhouse is having a Heineken cup night and have specials on platters of food etc and I would love to go but I am brewing.

So I could head to the local pub however the beer is crap, though bottled Guinness might do me.

Is there any legal reason why a pub could not allow you to bring your own beer?

I mean of course they need to make money so charge Corkage.

Off the top of my head, €1.50 or €2 per bottle?

The upside for the pub is that it [i:3a14wagj]might [/i:3a14wagj]attract customers back and they do not have to order the stock.

It is just a sun induced thought perhaps.

You could just bring your beer in, perhaps leave it with with the bar folk and have them serve it to you charging you the corkage charge each time. If there is beer left over you bring it home.

It might be too much administration but it is a nice idea <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> It might suit rural pubs more than city pubs as they are feeling the pinch more than those in big Cities.

i've had this thought a few times and it is a viable idea, i just doubt the average "where have my customers gone" publican would be able to get their head around the concept when they can't even get their head around the idea that friendly, efficient and prompt service at a reasonable price might bring their customers back.

or maybe a bring your own food restaurant?

And to get home, you could drive yourself in your own Taxi

The idea's keep getting better <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->


But yes I should get out of the sun and go sparge some wort.

Actually , you could be onto something .

Would you even need a licence ? You could run a sibin in your garage , carry no stock , but rent glasses to people who bring their own brew . must check the legality of this .....
