Clearly beer is the alcoholic beverage in Ireland of choice and Guinness is by far the most popular and well-known in the country. Though it is frequently said that the best Guiness to be had is in Ireland, the manufacturers will dispute this. According to the manufacturer, in blind tests journalists could not detect a difference between Irish brewed and other locally produced samples of the same beer. Guinness beer is available in well over 100 countries worldwide and is brewed in almost 50. Over 10 million glasses of Guinness beer are enjoyed every single day around the world, and staggering 1,883,200,000 pints are sold every year. Yes, that’s 1.8 billion. So it would appear that Dublin’s most popular drink has a steadfast following outside the country as well.
