Even if you’re not a beer drinker, going to Dublin without guzzling a pint or two of Ireland’s most famous export is like going to the Bahamas and not hitting the beach.
It’s a borderline crime. First brewed in 1759, Guinness is nowadays enjoyed on a global level with 10 million glasses consumed every day. With your pint glass in hand you can appreciate the fact that Guinness is not really black at all but is in fact a darkly rich ruby red.
Alternatively you can observe the fact that the gas bubbles within are actually travelling downwards. Most of all, you can tilt your head back and just drink the blessed thing.
Also, if you want to go one better, why not make Guinness a part of your menu? Most Irish pubs serve a number of Guinness-infused delicacies including the famous Beef and Guinness Pie.
Generously marinated in the dark stuff, the meat tastes even meatier and best of all, apart from the titular ingredients the pie contains absolutely nothing else. No peas or carrots or anything fancy like that – just good solid manly meat and Guinness.
Also, if (heaven forbid) you’ve had enough of Guinness for one day or simply wish to try something new, Ireland is the home of some of the world’s finest brands of stout and porter beers.
Discover your particular favourite and sound like a proper connoisseur the next time you meet up with your friends for a drink.
