Tempted but it'll cost €40 to try it out (€15 for 6 cans, €25 for the yokeybob). I'm told it's great but is it worth that much?

It's pricey enough but if you're fond of the plain, it'd save you a packet over the long term. The brother said the little yoke has a fairly long lifespan. Plus the caníns do contain the correct amount of scoop to make a proper pint.

Have heard good reports from mates back home alright.

It's grand and does taste a bit smoother but I'd still prefer to pick up a few slabs of the widget cans when they're on offer. They pour an excellent pint IMO, Guinness Foreign Extra is still the top dog though

My brother called over to my house the weekend before last with the pouring spout and 6 of the cans. It's a bit of a novelty and it tasted decent but  I can't see myself buying one unless the cost of the cans themselves come down in price.

I've mentioned this before but, for me, canned Beamish is the daddy. €7 for 4 Beamish or €15 for 6 Guinness. 

As BOF mentioned too - a slab of Guiness will only cost about 40 quid as well.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Guinness offers this week for Halloween. Dunnes Stores already have the 539ml x 24 cans in at €26....
I always stock up on these offers when they're in...

The new Guinness cans are great completely different than the draft widget ones. Normal draft cans taste like piss I stopped drinking them years ago and Guinness is my drink of choice. I prefer the Surger cans from up the North to the new ones down here. The consistency in the new cans sold in Ireland sometimes is not great. A can won't surge properly if it is too cold, a lot of times the glass will overflow and sometimes the device will leak down the side of the can when you are pouring it into a glass which can be annoying. The hangovers are bad. I don't generally get hangovers but after a few of the nitrosurge I definitely feel it the next morning.

I have been on the surgers since March of this year and I find them the best. Also no chance that the price of these will come down if anything it is going to go up.

I find draft cans consistently good and I drink it straight out of the can. Not arsed with the gimmick of the surge thing.

[Carnage]

Varying reports about the surge thing so far, I can't see it being worth it. The draught cans are grand, and Tesco have slabs for €26 at the moment, so it's a no-brainer really.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The draught cans are more than grand; they're better than the vast majority of tinned beers you can get if you ask me.

I agree with this.

I had a nosy at the yoke to see what it looked like

To be fair, it does look like a nice pour. Do I need one? No. But I wouldn't be upset if somebody bought me one for xmas 😂

Realising I have an extra day off tomorrow :

[Trev]

Flying past people sitting in traffic because they don't realise most bus lanes are only certain hours

[Thorn]

Ha, I don't even drive and I love that

[Giggles]

Flying past people sitting in traffic because they don't realise most bus lanes are only certain hours

When you want to take the 1st exit off a roundabout, and there is a long que of traffic in the left hand lane approaching the roundabout, but the right hand lane que is non existent - so you use it, drive all the way around the roundabout and beat the que
