Limerick, a Guinness drinker's paradise. Featuring The Guinness Guru Daragh Curran. 🇮🇪

After visiting Galway , the Prime Mutton made a sudden decision to extend his trip, and made a spur of the moment trip to Limerick.
And well rewarded he was too by this decision because not only is Limerick a hidden gem for connoisseurs of Stout , with Beamish having quite a following here, but also by chance Mutton was able to meet and vlog with the worlds most famous Guinness reviewer, Daragh Curran aka the Guinness Guru.
Many of the best pubs in Limerick are so close together that it's the perfect location for a Stout drinker's pub crawl.
I'd say that the best pint I had while I was there was at Myles Breens

What a great City Limerick is , so many good pints to be had in great pubs that are all walking distance between each other, a must for pub crawls. Thanks to the pubs who were so welcoming , and it was such a please to meet Daragh , the Guinness Guru. He's a lovely guy and check out his vlog when it comes out soon.

Never knew you were coming to limerick I'm a huge fan as you know limericks my home town !

love the videos just seen your one with darragh he posted today was glad to hear your gonna head to Belfast

[@AlexJ.Goldsmith]

It's call King John's castle fella c'mon now don't be ignorant, do some homework on a city before you try and make it look like a ghost town, when that's far from the truth. Why didn't you go to the proper busy city centre part, like the busy Milk market area or the 101 bar or the always jammed packed The Round House bar in the Milk Market area?

Limerick does have a bad reputation, but mostly from people who have never bothered to go there. I'm from Cork and I love Limerick. Great video again, Patsy Flannerys has the best Guinness in my opinion

[@eamonlong]

Completely agree, I’m from Cork too but always have a great time in Limerick when up for matches

[@murphyebass7837]

Ah stop it’s an absolute shit hole. 😂

[@johnrodgers2018]

It had a bad reputation. Its a lot better than it was and its people are lovely. A great place to go on a pub crawl. Since they strung up the lights along the river its even better.

[@eidinnishe2580]

amazing coverage of the best city in Ireland!

[@ericfreeman273]

Did you really think he showed off our city at its best? He didn't know anything about the city, like the castle is called King John's at least do his homework on Limerick first, and he made out that no tourist come to Limerick is he friggin' crazy or what the city got over one point seven million last year? Like I said he's clueless, man, like Limerick gets' more tourist than Manchester a year, but the big heavy hole boy wasn't to quick to say that fact was he? Oh, no, no siree. And they went to Limerick on a bank holiday, and he went to the quietest areas of the city, like backstreets instead of going to the busier pubs down in the city centre like 101 bar or even the bars around the Milk Market, and the other Dublin fool saying he expected the tall city to be dead. Wow! Two fools, man, one is from crack city Manchester and the other is a dirty Dub. Like stay in their own lane I say, and he mentioned that the Dubs called Limerick stab city. Wow! what a joke he is to bring up some old-fashion stigma about the city, a stigma that was given to Limerick by the dirty scummy Dubs and it's nasty Dublin media over 20 years ago it's now called fab city but heavy hole forgot to add that bit didn't he? And I bit the Dub told him to leave that bit out of the vlog. If you ask me, then these two had planned to do this nasty low class vlog about Limerick city, and their plan was to show the city from areas of it that are quieter so to make out that the whole city of Limerick is quiet, which is a rotten lie from both of them. Nah, he and that smug dirty Dub can do one, Limerick doesn't need their smoke and mirrors vlog that's full of friggin' lies, just look up any American tourist vlogs that they film when they're in Limerick and you'll see them showing the real vibrant and exciting Limerick city that it is, like why on earth would they go to a city on a bank holiday? Unless you wanted to show it looking quiet, like go to Dublin, London even New York on a bank holiday and you'll find it quieter than usual, so that was their plan here in Limerick, so don't be fooled by this heavy hole Manchester twat or that dirty nasty Dub.

[@johnrodgers2018]

nope its Cork, but I love Limerick city ;)

[@ShapeyFiend]

Love drinking in Limerick because they have a lot of unspoilt original bars that escaped being updated during the celtic tiger. The city's other plus point is it probably has the most out there live music scene in the country. Always worth checking Dolans, Pharmacia and The Record Room for gigs. I can still get a 5 euro Beamish in my local in Ennis. Like you say with the cost of living in Ireland at the moment having a few scoops isn't that expensive comparatively.

[@eamonnpotts5063]

Been going to Limerick all my life, from a kid to earlier this year, travelling from England to stay with my cousins. This because my mum was born in Old Clare Street which is a road back from the Shannon. I get as much delight going there now as I’ve always done as it’s engraved in my heart. Fantastic pubs in the city and especially on the outskirts aswell, such as O’niells in Boher to name but one. I’ve been in all the pubs shown here and love them all. And they virtually all have a history of clientele, through rugby, hurling, tv etc! Great blog guys. Can’t wait to return 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Another enjoyable video Mr. Mutton. Thanks for highlighting gluten free in your vlogs. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a few years ago and my diet has to be free from gluten. I was an avid real ale drinker and indeed enjoyed the odd stout here and there but since my diagnosis it can be tough finding gluten free ales and stouts. I hope you continue to consider us sufferers of this condition and raise the profile of our quest for gluten free ales and stouts. Once again thanks and your efforts are so much appreciated

[@primemutton]

I’ll keep an eye out for Gluten free , and film when. I see them. Did you watch my previous film from the mad squirrel brewery ? I think there was a gluten free beer in that film as well (that’s off the top of my head so I may be mistaken)

Mr Mutton, I have a question. I've noticed in the past 6 months or so that the standard Guinness glass has changed - not for half a year now have I seen the old format with the indentation. Any idea how the big G has managed to so comprehensively wipe them from history? Thanks in advance

[@AlexCresswellIsSoCool]

Should add I much prefer the new glasses!

[@primemutton]

Not sure why they changed but it doesn’t matter too much to me what vessel I drink it from . In fact at the Merlin bar in Galway , the locals preferred straight glasses

[@AlexCresswellIsSoCool]

@@primemutton interesting, I'm aware it's totally psychosomatic but I think the newer glasses add to the experience for me. There's no denying that Guinness is a stylish drink and I suppose the aesthetic of the pint is all part of it. Have a nice day!
