      If Murphy’s or Beamish were more widely available where I live I’d happily never drink Guinness again.

      Had my first pub pint of stout in 1997. I got change from £2.

      Took 10 years to go from €4 to €5 and 3.5 to go from €5 to €6.

      Lovely.

      You can pay nearly that for a “posh coffee” in some places

      There was a massive increase of cost of materials, electricity, transport etc. since 2019. Some of that has come down, some hasn’t.

      4% inflation over 10 years is around 150% growth.

      It looks parabolic because the y axis only goes from 4 to 6. If there was a 10c increase and the y axis went from 4 to 4.10, it would look the same.

      The real story here is that incomes have not matched inflation.

      Good thing wages have risen in line with this… right right… oh wait that was rent.

      Is this worse than general inflation? Whats the rise in average earnings over the last decade?

      Based on an article in Limerick Live, since 1997, the stout to wage ratio peaked in 2007 when drinkers were able to buy 196 pints with the average weekly salary. That is 32 extra pints per week than 2024 (based on the average weekly salary of €922) when you could buy 164 pints. That was at an average cost per pint of €5.62 so it has gotten slightly better since then. €6.08 per pint and the average salary per week is €1,015.43 (CSO) Q2 2025. However the salaries are based on the mean rather than median (€699.28) so the numbers are skewed by higher earners. The median salary today can buy approx 115 pints per week.

      Arrest all involved. Get the army in. Shut down the roads and all libraries.

      What does the graph look like as when price is plotted against minimum wage?

      You’d swear Diageo are the only producers of alcohol in world.

      The brand loyalty is fucking madness.

      Joe – lower the price . You are ripping off drinkers!

      Cost of doing business keeps going up, mandatory pensions a good example, that cost hits the tax payer twice, funding it and employers putting prices up.

      🤔🤔🤔 this explains the increase of brewing videos on tiktok…

      I wonder what shed Guinness would taste like…

      Graph needs to start from zero to show off proportional change correctly.

      Leaving outgoings aside, as this will differ for everyone, the average weekly wage in 2012 was €36,079 which is around €17.35 per hour. The same average hourly rate in 2025 is €25.23.

      A pint in 2012 was around €4.00. A pint today is around €6.08.

      That means, as a percentage of average hourly wages, a pint cost 23% in 2012 and 24% in 2025.

      Breaking the €5 barrier was big psychologically (change from a note for one pint), now they won’t stop until we get close to €10.
