The Dublin beer guide
Dublin is stout’s hometown, and the pint of plain is still its civic sacrament. St James’s Gate draws millions to the Guinness Storehouse, but the real education is in the pubs — the slow two-part pour, the conversation that comes with it, and lately a confident independent scene pouring far beyond the black stuff.
Do both Dublins: the storied Victorian pubs where the Guinness genuinely tastes better, and the new taprooms proving Irish beer is more than one beautiful brand.
