Forget Guinness

Everyone thinks of the black creamy Guinness when they think of Irish pubs. You'd be better off not asking for it down in the south, in and around Cork and Cobh. This is Murphy's Stout country and Cork is where Murphy's was created and is still brewed. It too is dark and full bodied and just as good as Guinness.
