Never been to Abbots, well I have to the off license but at the time the upstairs was not open so I am not sure myself.

Well it is the king of beers after all <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

I see that all the time in the Porterhouse. People looking for Guinness <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

I remember being at the Well for the first time and someone came in and ordered a Bulmers <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

At Easterfest I was talking to a guy who was complaining about the menu because there wasn't enough foreign beer <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Brought an English friend of mine into the Porterhouse once. I ordered a pint of Wrasslers then looked at my friend and he asked for a Guinness. The barman threw his eyes up to heaven, looked at me and said "sort that man out will you". I said two Wrasslers and we had a great laugh, all the while my English friend looked on confused. By the end of the night we had taken a sample from pretty much every tap (sample not pints, friendly barman) and I had another convert.

So what we need to do is individually bring every single person over the age of 18 in Ireland out to the Porterhouse and spend the night convincing them that Guinness is not the greatest drink in the world. Then and only then will our dreams of a beer utopia come through. OK, how many people are on the site, I'll grab a phonebook and we can start divvying up the population.

Until those pesky Irish breweries muscled in.
