I was in Tesco in Banbridge on Sunday and there was no sign of it

Haven't read the other thread on this topic that I believe exists, so this may have been mentioned. but they had the guy on Today FM this evening (Last Word?) talking about it, and Tom Doorley in to taste a bottle and give his opinion. He is a cock who clearly knows nothing whatsoever about beer, and very much pissed me off with what he said, but mainly I'm posting to say the Guinness guy said it would hit the shelves up North in a few weeks.

God, I can't even remember now, but he was very sarcastic and disparaging about the beer, quite clearly had never heard of the concept of black lager and thought it was some crazed invention of Guinness's. Looks exactly like bottled Guinness but tastes very thin and watered down, not a bit like Guinness, they shouldn't be messing with Guinness, it'll never catch on, anyone remember the disastrous Guinness Light, I'm a Guinness drinker and I wouldn't drink this stuff. If I wanted to drink lager I'd drink lager, if I wanted to drink Guinness - and I do - I'd drink Guinness, blah blah blah shut your f*ck hole Tom!

Really missed the point that it wasn't meant to be Guinness, they weren't trying to get something new for Guinness drinkers to drink, they were trying to buy into the lager-but-not-quite market that's been booming the last couple of years. Didn't actually offer any opinion on the quality of the actual beer, just said it was crap because it was crap. Why they didn't get Séan or some other one of ye on instead I don't know. I was so angered by the cock that I was shouting at the car radio.
