Nothing better than an ice cold Guiness after a long day of recovering from a long day of drinking.


Cheers!

What we pass off as Guiness here in the States is nothing compared to what's on tap in an Irish pub. I still drink it though.

If you like Guiness..... you need to try Beamish and Murphy's

I like Beamish better than Guiness, but it's hard to come by in Texas

Murphys is really good also

Yes.

On the very first night of our trip to fantastic Ireland, we went from Dublin to Howth-
It was, for us, coming from Los Angeles, the equivalent of our 3 AM in the morning, I believe.
Before the excellent salmon dinner arrived... Guiness.

It was the best tasting beverage I had ever had.
I followed it up with many more during our tour of this incredible country, as well as a few shots of Jameson's too,
but Guiness is a World Treasure.
The best.
And so is Ireland, btw, and I'm not even Irish!!

You got that right - I'm over there a couple times a year - the stuff you get here in the states isn't even close...

Nothing compares to the Guiness in Ireland.
But, no matter where we drink it, or how we drink it, we can all agree we love it

Word. I'm not generally a fan of most beers, but a pint of Guinness is an enjoyable experience, one that I intend to repeat many times if I ever get a chance to go to Ireland.

The quality of guinness varies from pub to pub within Ireland let alone a few thousand miles. Guinness have quality teams here to try and ensure some consistency with their prdoduct. But some pubs have a reputation for better Guinness over others.

It really is a tempremental drink I think more so than any other. Tasting is believing is all I can say really.
