Hunting for Beamish in Dublin, the home of Guinness 🇮🇪

[@primemutton]

Well Muttonistas , some great Beamish was to be had in Dublin , a couple of real “Creamy Beamies” amongst them . However some pubs had either run out or weren’t serving it . And although I slightly prefer Guinness, Beamish is a great drink, worth trying if you’ve never had it before .

[@R-Tap]

A few pints are really nice, subtly different to Guinness and, less expensive! The more you drink the more you save!!

[@EphSBGGSO]

Shame on me. New Muttonista, 63 from North Carolina, amber enthusiast, never tried Guinness or any stout at all. Well thanks to you Jason I have finally enjoyed my first Guinness and looking forward to many more. It’s absolute mint, just like a Haaland hat trick. Cheers Jason and all my fellow Muttonistas!

Not into splitting the B then proceeds to get the most perfect split!

The Harold House is a great local pub with one of the best pints of stout in Dublin. Well worth a walk!

[@DianeD862]

Loved these types of videos so more like it please thank you for sharing.Have a great weekend.😊

[@primemutton]

So glad you enjoyed it , some more ideas in the pipeline.

[@Gary_Clarke44]

I’ve recently became a huge beamish fan and living in Dublin it’s definitely a cult following around here at best so delighted to see this video pop up! Great insight! I must admit I was raging you didn’t go to Grogans. Humanpunk said it as well. GREAT pub and does an unbelievable Beamish. Best in Dublin by a mile and has a lot of pourage in there. Next time you’re in Dublin and in need of the creamy beamy, think Grogans! You won’t be disappointed.

[@primemutton]

a pity I didn't know , we ran a bit short of places to take a beamish. I just went on the recommendations of my instagram followers

Beamish is very popular in Cork city. I enjoy that and Murphy's a bit more than Guinness but it always comes down to the pub and how they manage their pipes. Fantastic video, thanks for sharing ☺️ cheers 🍻

[@jayd1974]

Well that’s with all stouts pipes need to be cleaned at least weekly

[@taryndancer29]

I'm going to Cork City in 2 weeks. Can't wait to try Beamish!

A pint of stout for less than a fiver in Dublin is pretty fantastic.

Yes I was pleasantly shocked

[@stephenw1799]

I switch to Beamish and Murphy's when im in Cork. Its good to see where to get Beamish in Dublin, thank you for the video. Bowes is probably the only one on that list i would go to. One thing to note, unless the Beamish tap is in regular use the liquid can go a bit off in the pipes and taint the pint.

[@primemutton]

Well that’s true for Guinness as well but obviously less likely to happen especially at the Harold house and anseos where many punters were drinking it into form . But if you think that beamish goes off more easily/quickly I’d be interested to know about that. J O’Connells was the only pub where I was a lone beamish drinker and even that was decent.

[@R-Tap]

Hi Jason, you found the Beamish, see you next time for another taxi ride.

[@primemutton]

Enjoyed the chat!

[@clinton_messina-fr9ly]

Hey Mutton! I'm a huge fan of yours, seen most of your videos, and I just watched Daragh Curran's video that you're in. I have to say I've always been so curious what you do professionally and I was fascinated to learn about your bridge career. I think it would be so cool if you incorporated some of that side of your life into your content! Some of my favorite videos of yours in addition to your Guinness crawls have been your hot pot and other chinese food videos. I would love to see a video that incorporates drink and food obviously, but if you happen to be traveling for bridge, it would be so cool to get a peek at that world as well. I'm not even a bridge player myself, but I think it's cool and unique side of your personality that I wasn't aware of till I watched Daragh's video (even though I'm much more familiar with your videos). Anyway it's just a suggestion and I'll love and support your content no matter what!

[@primemutton]

well the issue is that bridge players don't watch vlogs and social media too much, and the game itself is slow and boring to those who don't watch it. a hotpot and Guinness in Dublin is a possibility though . if you watch my food videos , they do contain beer or wine unless I'm in an islamic country

[@clinton_messina-fr9ly]

@@primemutton Yes I love your food videos with drink! I even think if you showed a shot or two of the tournament, or spent a minute talking about how you played in laymen's terms. I think it could be a cool additional dimension to your videos especially if your traveling to a specific place to play bridge. I've really enjoyed watching your videos since I found your channel a couple months ago, and now I am coming to Ireland for a week this summer for work. I can't wait to try many of the pubs you have gone to in Dublin and Galway. I'm also coming to Manchester in the same trip if you happen to be out drinking I'd love to come buy you a pint!

@@clinton_messina-fr9ly keep an eye out on my Instagram posts . If I wish to publicise where I’m going I post stuff there. However my plans often require flexibility so some of it is done at very short notice

[@Karl_Mcr]

Heineken own Beamish but they've were pushing their own stout Islands Edge for the last few years but pulled it last year. This frees up a tap which they have stuck Beamish on. Had some on my last trip in Dudley's on Thomas St. And it's pronounced 'On Shuh' (like shut with a silent t)

[@primemutton]

I also understand that Wetherspoons in Ireland stocking Beamish and no Guinness helped Beamish survive.

I think properly speaking 'A pint of Plain' referred to a pint of 'plain porter', which disappeared from Irish pubs in the early 70's. That's what Flann O'Brien was talking about in his poem 'The Workman's Friend' (A pint of plain is your only man..)

[@tuck5492]

Since I'm unable to get Beamish in America, I have to have a Guinness in my Beamish tulip glass. That's my Beamish glass awarded me by the barman at Flannery's in Limerick. Loved my Beamish in Flannery's!

Lived 2 mins from The Harold House....Great local pub. Used to frequent O Connells on a Saturday night with my uncle. Always a good pint in there. The Hairy Lemon used to be a great pub but gone down the food road and last few times I was in the service was poor. Not been back in a couple of years. Can't go wrong with Bowes. You should have tried Kehoes on South Anne Street. My local and favourite of them all

[@CastIronRestore]

Hey Mutton, I have dreams of traveling to Ireland one day. I do not drink out at bars regularly here in the US. But when I go to Ireland I will definitely be having a few pints. I am very nervous about bar etiquette though in these small local's pubs, you should do a video on your process for ordering your pints. What do you say? Do they have tabs in Ireland? Can you use a credit card? How do you get the barman's attention respectfully? Things like that. The small things really do kill me lol. You can't beat a bit of mutton!

[@deet1558]

To get the barman’s attention just shout hey paddy! Or throw a pint glass at him that’s just normal here

[@CastIronRestore]

@@deet1558 yea ok 😝

[@primemutton]

I just say a beamish please or a Guinness please or you could say a pint of Guinness , or 3 Beamish or whatever . You almost always can use a card and it would be rare to run a tab . It might be possible but I always pay as I go .

[@Gary_Clarke44]

You’ll be astonished at how easy it is Ireland compared to the US. You won’t even have to speak, the barmen will do the talking for you. “What can I get you?” You just say what you’d like and that’s it! We nearly ALWAYS pay as we go here in Ireland. Just as you would in Starbucks! You’ll love it here. Give us a go and just keep smiling and you’ll be fine.
