I had to laugh at the open train cars, with sides like the hay wagons for hauling small bales, but full of empty beer kegs being shipped back from Limerick.
All the bars in Dublin set their empty kegs out on the sidewalk like we used to return empty milk bottles, ready for the new kegs to be delivered. This was great as I could tell the good bars by the number of kegs on the sidewalk in the morning.
So I stopped at the Temple Bar and asked why no kegs on their sidewalk. They replied that they had a lorrey full out back.
Best Stout in Ireland was the Oyster Stout at the Porter House in the Temple Bar District.
The best porter I ever had was at the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone, brewed exclusively for them
Paint pot porter, it was delicious.
