No I wasn't.
I heard it was a Seattle brew co.
I' m very limited in my brew experience.
I tend to bounce from Sierra Nevada to Samuel Adams
to Flat Tire.
I like Guinness enough to look for an Irish pub in all the countries I visit; the reward is that the ambiance is Irish.
Did you know I'm part Irish? My name is Tak Namara.
Beamish is the most popular stout around the Cork and Cobh area of Ireland.
Ask for a Guinness there and the piano player stops playing like they do in the Cowboy fillums.
Personally I prefer Beamish as it's a bit smoother and less acidic than Guinness.
I've never been to the south, but I used to drive to the west regularly (Ballina) and Guinness seemed to be sweeter and far less acidic there for some reason. I imagine the Beamish is like nectar in Ireland.
