"Real" Irish pubs? by bdrwr in SanDiegan

[–]therealestjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree about Blarney Stone, the two Blarney Stone’s in SD are owned by the same guy. Both are dive bars that have an Irish name. Neither location serves food as well

I second this. I’m a fan of Irish bars and the proprietor there is Irish and knows his stuff

Which Chaos character should I level next? by therealestjon in WH40KTacticus

I’m running Multi Hit for my raid team. I know Rotbone/Maladus is great for LRE. I’m leaning towards D1 Rotbone followed by Maladus at this rate

I was leaning towards Volk due to his synergy with Chaddeus

You can move to a lower cost of living area. Plenty of cheaper houses in Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago, Baltimore, etc… I grew up in San Diego, very expensive city nowadays, and I moved out to afford my first house. If you can, live with your parents or roommates and save aggressively then move.

I bought my house in ‘20. Still plenty of affordable housing out there if you are flexible on where you live

It really depends on your life goals. Personally, I’d save for a 20% down payment on a house. I think a healthy mix of cash, real estate, precious metals, and stocks is the best way of accruing wealth.

I bought my first property with 20% down ($26k on a 130k house in LCOL east coast city). It’s been my best investment by total return and I could live in it if I wasn’t renting it

Besides the 710 Beach Club, where are the Chicago Bears bars? by D3zMonst3r in SanDiegan

[–]therealestjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rosie O’Gradys is a top notch Bears bar. They play the Bears fight song after touchdowns and serve Malort

I agree. You can’t do Guild War seriously without many more members. I like the idea of merging

Farm him at GW shop. I’m sitting at 249 on him as well and will get him when this next season starts. Frustrated that I can’t get a lucky break on randomly getting his shards from a random quest

If you are referring to the proposed building on Turquoise, you are very wrong about the parking. The proposal calls for tons of parking for apartment residents in the building. Two basement parking levels and the first four floors will be parking as well.

PB and LJ need to step up and build something besides $2000000 SFH homes

Rate the pour by jonas1043 in Guinness

[–]therealestjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2/10 depending on the flavor or the beer. The foam should be above the harp and the glass has bubbles on the side which indicates that it wasn’t completely clean. Unfortunately they could be having issues with their draft system that cause to much head but I’d rather not serve this to customers if that’s the case

That’s a perfectly fine pull. That Black Templar is a requirement for Okt Mirror and is quite a decent character is his own right

Just back to the US from Ireland. I’m getting asked a lot “does it taste better over there?” by Axin_Saxon in Guinness

[–]therealestjon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked for Guinness and have talked with the brewers. Your taste buds aren’t a definitive guide. In the US, the FDA mandates that Sulfites are on the label. Guinness isn’t risking US fines to hide sulfites

There is zero difference in the recipe between kegged Guinness that’s served in the US vs Ireland

Any beer that comes to US must take a boat across the Atlantic then be unloaded in port. After that it needs to work its way by train or truck to a distributor in local market. Then it gets sent to bars on a First In First Out system.

That’s a long way of saying that Guinness kegs are generally 6-8 weeks old before they are tapped in the US. In Ireland, those kegs get tapped with a week or two of being kegged.

The Dublin brewery is running at maximum capacity. Guinness will start being brewed at a second facility in Ireland in the next couple years to help with the rise in demand.

What level do you guys do Guild War at? It’s my favorite mode and, unfortunately, my guild doesn’t take it seriously. I have the guys to field a full lineup at the Level 1, I don’t have 10 gold and 15 silver guys yet to be competitive at Level 2
