A Word About Beer

Now that we are on our way out of Ireland I feel I can safely comment on the beer in Ireland.  We've heard that Guinness tastes better in Ireland than anywhere else.  This is true and I will tell you why - it's because in Ireland it is probably the best tasting compared to what others you can get.  Your other choices will be Smythwick's, Stella Artois, Budweiser, Carlsberg, Heinekin, and Tuborg.  All pathetically light and flavorless piss water beers.  Occasionally you will come across Murphy's Irish Stout (which is better than Guiness in our opinion) or Kilkenny (a creamy topped slightly red ale, also better than Guinness) but it is an exception.  We've come to the conclusion that if we stayed in Ireland, we'd probably give up drinking beer.  The whiskey is pretty good though.....
