    Looking for recommendations
    I currently drink guinness. Not a fan of beamish or murphys

    I would say O'Hara's Leann Folláin and Porterhouse XXXX are two of the best in regular production.

    Agree with beer nut, you could also try Stag Saor Stout by 9 White Deer.

    Porterhouse plain porter is beautiful. Murphys is my go to for a creamy can of stout.

    Sorry but I beg to differ, many many stouts beat it.

    Btw all those offers will be gone from the 11th apparently. Simon Harris and his nanny state laws despite being unable to be nanny state during the pandemic.

    They really don't. There is nothing better than a pint of plain.

    Absolutely. That's the joys of personal taste. I've honestly never tasted a nicer stout but that's just my taste buds. People differ

    That's a tasty pint, a fecking year since I had one.
    Sweetman's on Burgh Quay do a good stout as well.

    Leann Follain and xxxx as mentioned are my favourites.

    You could go onto drinkstore.ie (or one of many others) and order a load of different stouts, so you can see what suits you best.

    If you're a fan of nitro stouts, Left Hand do some great stuff, and these can be got in decent offies or drinkstore.

    The Siera Nevada stout is really good too.

    Just to add another couple. Boundary Export stout is lovely, as is Laidir from 4 Provinces.

    Off topic, sorry, but jaysus these laws are brutal.

    Is there a thread to discuss them?


    Swinging gates into the alcohol aisle / no more bulk purchase offers.........


    The sensible majority are being punished.

    I'm in the west and can't get my hands on it. I used to love seeing it in lidl every now and then. A top stout.

    Wicklow Wolf Apex Oatmeal Stout is quite nice, 3 for €9 in O'Briens.

    And the loyalty points ban actually initially dates back to the days of Harney in Health and the noted fun-lover Dermot Ahern in Justice - its been on the books, just not commenced, for over a decade; its not all Harris era - he wasn't even a councillor then and was barely old enough to be a TD had he wanted to be!

    I love stout. Leann Follain and Porterhouse are lovely (the oyster stout is nice too).
    Hard to beat a good pint of Guinness though, tastes like mother's milk if you get a good one.

    I hope someone of drinking age isn't drinking mothers milk.

    I've had a few that have been off. So much so that when it was on sale at my local offie recently I didn't want to take the chance.

    +1 for Left Hand. The Nitro Milk Stout is absolutely amazing. You'd knock a can back in a few sups it's so smooth.
