Guinness in Irish Literature

jorg · 2009-03-18 21:47:53

Apart from the obvious "a pint of plain is yer only man" by Flann O Brien (AKA Jem casey) and references to Guinness in Ulysses, is anyone aware of other references in Irish literature to our national drink - the pint of Guinness?

There's many references to it in Finnegans Wake too. Can't think of any others off hand.
