Saw this the other day. What a waste of space. I believe it is two cans of Guinness, two cans of Kilkenny and four cans of Harp. All in an attractive cardboard box! With a handle!
I'm so glad we can finally get these elusive UK beers in Ontario!

I actually don't think there is much good beer left in Ireland anymore. Guinness has sucked the life out of the market to such a degree that there are very few micros or brewpubs remaining. There's Carlow Brewing (who sent us the O'Hara's stout recently), the Porterhouse brewpub in Dublin, Hilden and Whitewater in Northern Ireland, but not too much else that I'm aware of. Do others have any recommendations?
Macro's do that sort of thing... it's sad, but there's still a few:

Now why couldn't they bring in the Carlow 3pack (ie O'hara's Stout, Curim Wheat, Molings Red). I got me one of those when I departed from Dublin last summer. They already had O'hara's here.
Other then that, I didn't find that many micros while in Ireland. I visited a few stores and the only other one of interest I found was Finians Irish Red

I was in Ireland a couple of years ago. We didn't get a chance to stop at Carlow Brewing but I can certainly vouch for The Porterhouse. We stopped in there in our first day in Dublin and ended up returning two more times before we went home.
I did think that Guinness and Harp did taste better in Ireland, but the Porterhouse had what was hands down and without question the best beer I had during my stay.
