It might sound strange to the non-Irish amongst you, but anyone from Ireland knows exactly what we’re talking about 👀

We’ve even got a hold of a coleslaw recipe from one of Cork’s most treasured delis!

There’s a new pint idea floating around Dublin… a 70/30 Guinness, topped up with Guinness Zero.

We had to ask the question:
good idea… or absolute nonsense? 👀

We serve both here at O’Dowd’s, Guinness on tap and Guinness Zero in cans, but we want to know what you think.

Would you try it? Or leave the pint alone?
