An Irish Brewery Has Created A 1916-Inspired Beer, So Of Fucking Course There Was War On Liveline

An Irish Brewery Has Created A 1916-Inspired Beer, So Of Fucking Course There Was War On Liveline

Wicklow Wolf Brewing Company have released a craft beer which draws inspiration from the Easter Rising of 1916.

The beer is named 'Children of the Revolution', so, naturally, a few absolute balloon knots were up in arms (heh) as if - by some freakish occurence - a group of children might read the word 'children' on the bottle and inexplicably become overwhelmed by the urge to pick up a sixpack of the bad-boys, evade their local Centra's strict IDing process and waddle out the door in an oversized trenchcoat.

Here are the brews in question, which will set you back €3.95 a pop.

Naturally, too, the first port of call for these sad complainants was Joe Duffy on RTÉ's Liveline.

Experts agree that people who ring into radio talk-shows to 'have their say' are some of the most nightmarish arseholes known to man. This afternoon, this hypothesis was largely proven true, with a ravenous pack of bickerers essentially taking time out of their respective days in order to rant about other people making money.

Bear in mind we already have a beer called Bishop's Finger.

We wanted to mark, in our own way, the bravery and vision of our countrymen and women who made possible the Ireland we live in today,” explained Simon Lynch, who co-founded Wicklow Wolf alongside Quincey Fennelly.

“It’s got ingredients from both sides of the conflict,”

However, interestingly, the reaction on Twitter to these phsychos was almost universally one of ridicule. Who would have thought that Twitter, of all places, could offer a modicum of sanity?

 

Well, it wasn't all sane...
