    If that’s a 9.1 then we’ll never see anyone top Gravediggers, that’ll stay the king forever. Thought for sure this would be a 9.3 or 9.4! The reviews nowadays are miles better than the ones from years ago anyway cause you’re getting better with every video at this rate! Thanks for the reviews

    Garavans has a truely exceptional pint and at €4.30 for the middle of shop street it's insane value. The crane a close second and then taffees. But garavans pub has a stout like I have never tasted before. Beautiful and actually aromatic when u get half way down the pint and the nose enters the glass while supping.

    You should give each pint 2 scores. The first is what you’re doing right now. The second score is the pint score. You divide your first score, which is what you do anyway and is obviously your rating, by the price of the pint.
    If you rate the pint high and the cost of the pint is low it will obviously give you a higher score than a pint that you maybe rate the same but the price is higher which gives you a lower score.
    Eg you rate the pint 8 and the cost of the pint is €5 8/5=1.6
    You rate a pint 8 again but costs €6.50 gives the lower score of. 8/6.50=1.23.
    Obviously a very good pint would be let down by a high price.
    Just a thought.
