A Welsh pub has reduced the price of Australian lager to celebrate the life of an Irish saint, for some reason.

Barman Richard Collins said: “On St Patrick’s day we drink in memory of a celebrated Irish Christian missionary who, with the guidance of the Lord, fought through awful hardship to spread the word of the Bible.”

“And it’s also a day for us to offer some cracking deals on Fosters, Kronenbourg Blanc and whatever else didn’t sell over Christmas.

“Happy Irish Day to all my fellow Welsh folk; let’s drink a traditional pint of Leffe and chase it down with a blackcurrant sambucca for reasons I’m yet to properly work out”.
