....by "other" I mean "none"... Dunno why, I just don't like Irish beer very much. I drank a lot of Guinness in Cork once, it would have been rude not to, and as a result of trying not to offend my hosts I managed to get very very drunk - it was back in the 1990s and we were in a Pub watching Spain destroy the Republic of Ireland in some international football game on the TV - the locals were in remarkably high spirits considering the way the match was going, they even cheered when Spain scored. Ah, the healing power of Guinness.

I like all Irish beer that I have tried, but I tend to prefer the non-Guinness produced ones. I voted Kilkenny, but Murphy's is also very good.

Haven't tried enough. I don't drink Guinness unless I have to, ssame with Murphey's, Caffrey's is pretty boring. Prefer English and welsh Beer.

What Irish beer? Why don't you just buy some non-Irish beer.

In the immortal words of Irish writer Brendan Behan, "Guinness makes you drunk." That's all that needs to be said on the matter. If I recall my trip to Ireland, that's all anyone drank there. All the time. Every day. For most of the day. My god did I drink a lot!

Cheers! I do like my Guiness Extra Stout and the one that Stonebeard put up, but I prefer Belgian, German and American craft brews.
