S04 E03 “The Home Brew”

When Eamon and by association Bridget are barred from the pub, Eamon decides to cook up his own home brew poitín based on an old family recipe. The recipe seems to be nothing more than white spirits and rat poison so when all the neighbours sample it they’re snapped out of the drunken stupor by the fact the dog is dead. 

The dog drank some of the home brew 12 hours before them. So they’ve only got 12 hours left to live. What are they going to do with the little time they have left? Apart from a very disappointing orgy or three, nobody can think of anything or wants to do anything. Until Eamon convinces them not to leave any money for their kids and instead blow their collective savings on getting Foster & Allen to play in the front room.

Guest Stars: Foster & Allen
