Popular Mayo bar goes 'against the grain' following Guinness price increase

Publicans have strongly criticised Diageo for increasing the price of its draught products, namely Guinness and Guinness 0.0, by €0.07c per pint and €0.10c per pint, respectively.
However, when VAT is added to that, and the publicans’ margins are factored in, the price for consumers is likely to climb by €0.20, according to The Irish Times.
The price increase will take effect from February 2nd, with Diageo attributing the increase to higher costs, including wage inflation and rising energy costs.
Nevertheless, The Ranch, in Claremorris, have responded to this by keeping the price of a pint of porter at €5.
Last year, The Ranch also announced that it had decreased the price of a pint of Guinness.
The sports bar stated that they "love our customers and community and will continue to support in whatever way we can."
