Last night the good people of Tennent’s invited us to The Dirty Onion for some food, booze and comedy from Colin Geddis, we were obviously getting schmoozed; but why? The answer soon became clear and to be honest it’s pretty cool. Basically they have launched a new glass that has a lot of our…um…shall we say unique… sayings on it. They describe it better than i can –
It seems that, the world over, everyone loves a Northern Irish accent! The dulcet tones of Liam Neeson, Jamie Dornan, Rory McIlroy, Christine Bleakley and other home-grown talents are currently the delight of national and international audiences – there’s never been a better time to speak ‘Norn Iron’.
And there’s never been a better time to celebrate all that’s quaint and quirky about our land and language. Tennent’s Lager has been doing just that, with a unique soundbite survey to capture a snapshot of the words and phrases we ‘natives’ love best.
The results make for fun reading and Tennent’s Lager has further captured the craic by creating a special limited edition pint glass, engraved with the top words and phrases.
The project started just a few months ago when facebook fans of the brand were asked what they loved about ‘Norn Iron’ … the places, the people, the moments and the everyday words and phrases that make living here unique. The response was overwhelming and, once everyone had put their ten pence worth in (as they say in this part of the world), the result was ‘Norn Iron to a T’!
The new glasses will be officially available from Wednesday 15th April and, if you’re over 18 you can check out their facebook to see how you can win one in your local pubs and clubs. You can even see a photo that we took of one of these golden chalices below. YOU’RE WELCOME! So there you have it, keep you eyes open for the new glasses and get sharing all the things you love about NI that has #NornIrontoaT
