The future is fancy for pint of plain

IF you thought there’s no future in boozing, think again. One of the world’s biggest brewers has been to the proto-pub.

Quantum leaping 250 years into the future, Guinness has time travelled to the kind of place where you’d go for a jar in 2259, where the pint of plain will probably set you back the same number of euro.

Guinness will give you many things, but extraordinary longevity isn’t one of them, so you’ll just have to accept its description of the star bar.
