This is about the legend of Sally O’Brien and Harp Larger. It is hard to describe the fuss that was made of Sally O’ Brien in the early 1980’s but it still is the ultimate Irish beer advert for many from this Irish generation, for a larger beer much maligned in Ireland. Yes, the beer was pretty flat that came from the can in this video, but it tasted grand, in case Harp are wondering! Two locations have emerged for the ad; one is the Harbour bar in Bray Co.Wicklow, the other Mileys in Blessington, Co.Wicklow, if you know the truth please say so in the comments.

Greetings from Ireland! Welcome to my channel, that is dedicated to the history and culture of Ireland.This is not set out to be a history lesson, but a ramble through some stories you might find interesting about Ireland from an Irishman! Ireland has so many connections throughout the world from the emigration from this country over so many centuries, but those with Irish blood in their families always have a yearning to know more about thier "old country", this is my attempt to bring some of the history and culture they left behind. So if you fancy some tales about horsemen and highwaymen, banshee's and fairies, soldiers and rebels, legends and folklore, saints and scholars, please like and subscribe, I post once per month. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
