That's the point (no pun intended)

In many a bar you are told that X is only sold in 33cl measures & I certainly have no issue with that. It's the "I'll have a pint" & getting less that really annoys me

Whilst at the bar in Mulligans on Friday night, looking longingly at the Leann Follain badge on what appeared to be a hand-pull and trying to explain cask to the barman, I heard another barman explain to a customer that the 5AM saint - was very flavoursome (in a warning him off kind of way) - and that it was served in a glass like this - about a gulp less than a pint he said <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> and sold for €4.20.

I had an O'Hara's IPA, when someone else in our round went up and asked for "an IPA" he was given the 5AM Saint.

No sign of it on the one price list I did see, but it was one of the old style - Stout/Ale/Lager price - lists.

The Palace does this, as does Ryan's on Parkgate Street. A great way to destroy customer expectations <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

The thing that got me was he started to turn it around and then turned it back to face the punters, suppose it does provide them with the opportunity to say, well we do have bottles of it.....

I saw that happening in The Palace: tourists ordering cask Leann Folláin and being given bottles.

i dont really mind.. really..
