Back from Ireland and back to blogging after a long absence... We had a great time in Ireland. Among other things, we sampled a variety of wonderful local beverages. These included Guinness (of course), Murphy's Stout, Beamish Stout (my personal favorite), Bulmer's Cider (on tap in most Irish pubs), and Smithwick's Irish Ale (pronounced 'smitix'). All are very good beers (or cider). All are even better when drunk in an authentic Irish pub - by which I mean a pub in Ireland.
Heineken was also very popular among the locals, but we didn't drink any.
There was one other beer that we did NOT try during our visit to Ireland. It was available on tap in every pub we visited. It was apparently very popular - we saw lots of people drinking it. It was also more expensive than any of the beers mentioned above. Generally these would all be signs of quality that might entice me to try a beer. However, in this case, I was not enticed to try the Budweiser.
Goes to show that any beer is appreciated more when imported, I guess.
In a loosely related photo, here's Gina examining a strange artifact during one of our hikes. We first thought is was some kind of primitive bronze age tool. Turned out to be a primitive aluminum age Budweiser can.
