Don’t die.
… a pint of Hoegaarden only costs about $12?
And so a half pint is only $6?
Well now u know!
Are drinkers here gettin scammed?
Yup!
Some outlets sell a pint at $25, some close to $30, some more than that! And a half pint close to 20 bucks! Massive marking-up like these should be made a criminal offense dammit. Dats why Malaysians’ purchasing power never improves – greedy, short-term minded businesses.
Not worth half as much as u think
The right price for a pint of Hoegaarden (Carlsberg Malaysia) should be $15 – $20. And a half pint no more than $10. It aint a premium drink.
Bars the world over dont mark-up their prices so much, esp for beer! They aren’t short-term minded capitalistic wannabe millionaires, and rely on a higher turnover over a longer period.
The cost for a pint at a bar in Europe (after mark-up of course, and considering their costs and overheads are much higher) is only between 3 to 4 Euros! (Even if u convert, its between $12-$16).
I wdnt pay more than 20 bucks for this beer.
While bars here mark-up beers like Tiger, Carlsberg etc, by about $5 (max $10), they mark-up Hoegaarden by $20, sometimes more! So here comes the inevitable question – Why??, i hear u scream.
Good question. Go ask the bar owners. Am sure they’ll come up with some good excuses.
My opinion? Greed.
World Cup 2010 South Africa is here – one month of consistent happy hours and late-nights.
There goes gym.
Bars will be the main financial beneficiaries of d tournament. Its a great windfall for them. Competition is stiff. Good.
Btw, the offical World Cup tune n video below. Called Waving Flags. Performed by K’naan, some African dude. Enjoy.
Anyway, some real sweet deals for drinkers goin on, especially at the newer establishments. Mostly for beers of course. Thank God for competition. (Note: All prices i post is always the nett price.)
Many outlets have been given exemption by city hall for one month to open till 5am. Kitchens are also open late for snacks n shit.
Probably the best u’ll ever get is at Movida (Sunway Giza, Kota D’sara, PJ). They got one-for-one deals from NOON till 10pm! And then again from 2am to 5am. Daily.
Here it is –
Drink dat, u alcos!
Paulaner & Kilkenny at $36.80 nett for two pints ($18.40 each) is pretty good. And $33.35 for two Guinnesses ($16.70 each). I doubt it can be matched at the moment. Its got a super-sized screen inside. All HD of course. Will most def checkitout.
Close by, The Beer Factory (6141-6450) (which will be featured soon) has a big-ass screen n beer deals too –

Erdinger, Stella, Hoegaarden, Franziskaner at $46 for two pints, until midnight. Definitely whoops The Library’s fat ass. ($36 for a Hoegaarden is insane.) Carlsberg is $34.50/pitcher at the Factory.
Over in TTDI, there’s good action too.
At PUBLIC (7729-9650) in TTDI Plaza, u can get a 2-liter special hand-blown Winner’s Trophy glass from Germany filled with Tiger for $180. Or a limited edition pint glass (5 designs) with Tiger for $25 net. Am sure there’re other deals too.

At Sid’s, its $19.55 for a pint of Guinness all nite. Also for Tiger. Its $10 nett i think. From noon. Full HD.
S’Mores at The Sphere in Bangsar South has a variety of bottled beers and get this – TWO pints of Guinness for 20 bucks net, from 5pm-7pm daily! The most awesomest. Other times, its $50 net for three pints. Also, for bottles – $50 for 3 Hoegaarden, and $75 for any three of these – Erdinger, Ludwig, Franziskaner, Erdinger or Weihenstephan. I dont think there’s a large screen tho.

Bubbles has 3 pitchers of Tiger for $90 net. Guinness & Kilkenny is $18 for a pint and $50 for 3. Paulaner is $23 net.
Still, overall, Movida is recommended, coming out tops by far in terms of variety and hours.
Lower prices are always welcomed, coz thats higher consumption. Am sure there’re other promos dat am gonna come across – will update in d comments section.
Feel free to add-on any good promos, until July 11. Appreciate the feedback if u go to any of the above joints.
Goddam i wish it was World Cup all year!

Brain damage: Should be pretty dam extensive
Whats the largest glass of booze u ever had? Mine was a bucket-sized glass of Hoegaarden, but it was shared.
Some Irish dude ordered a pint in California – an 8 feet high one. Haha! It was probably a publicity stunt for Guinness.
Dis d only picture tho, tiny one.
There’s a video of the logistics and the event at the Irish bar right here. (If u wanna watch it pour, its from the 4th minute. Warning: Will induce thirst.)
Its filled with more than 1,000 litres of booze, ie, more than a ton! This glass of Guinness would earn it a place in the Guinness Book of Records as d largest in d world. Looks like they hooked plumbing to about 20 barrels at once n let it squirt.
Sure would have luved to jump into the glass to skinny dip and drink at d same time.
If GAB Malaysia ever needs a volunteer swimmer for such a stunt, i’m it! Just throw some meat in every coupla days.
