Let's not start predicting winners here in case it swings votes <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Should we really be including the beers brewed under licence?? For example would Nigeria vote Guinness as their national beer of the year? Should we just be sticking to beer brands/names that originate in Ireland?

They should the sorghum gives it a distinctive taste which makes it the best commercial stout I have tried.

This is turning into an argument over the colour of shite.

Bud, Bud Light, Fosters, Miller etc. haven't a snowballs chance in hell of winning so the point is mute. (A My Name is Earl joke...)

Bud Light isn't going to get more than a single vote. Obviously I'm going to vote for it, but then I enjoy being contrary.

Leave it as every beer brewed in Ireland is eligible. Nice, simple and effective.
