What's really funny is that it was easier for me to get Wienstephaner
Heffeweisen in Boston than it is in Ireland. They just dont dstribute the
better stuff here in Ireland because quite honestly the irish as a whole
like to drink (and eat BTW) cheap nasty shit.

Other than odd bins (which rocks for wine but doenst do so well on beer) the
off licenses in Ireland tend to suck. Most of the independant ones only
carry underage drinker/football hooligan type stuff, and anyone who's any
good gets immediately bought out by O'Briens and then carrys the exact same
stock as the other three O'Briens that are in walking distance of where you
live (Im not exagerating. There's a liquor store on just about every street
corner here, most supermarkets, most gas stations etc...)
