Pint of plain still top of the drinks list

A PINT of plain is still your only man as Guinness has cemented its status as the most popular drink in Irish pubs.

A study in the Hospitality Ireland magazine from sales in 8,643 pubs, clubs and hotels across the country shows Guinness still tops the pile in terms of draught drinks ahead of Heineken, Budweiser, Carlsberg and Smithwicks.

Of the top five, only Heineken is not distributed by Diageo, the owners of Guinness.
