What's your favorite Irish Dry Stout?

A perfectly poured Guinness in any hole in the wall bar in Ireland is really, really hard to beat.

 

Gots a bottle of Guinness Extra waiting for tomorrow's dinner.

Used to drink the Draught all the time back in the 90s, but with cutting down I went for a single, but bigger flavor.

 

Mulligan's in Dublin.

(If they're still open after COVID. )

 

I really can't stand anything on Nitro, and most craft examples around me want to just imitate Guinness Draught in that regard, so I typically avoid those. A local for me, Eureka Heights makes a good one called Tipsy Clover though, which I can find on good old CO2 taps, and even had on cask a few times. Which was excellent. I haven't had a regular Guinness Draught in years, but do really enjoy the Extra Stout which I have been drinking my fair share of over the last few weeks.

One of many where I'd love to be havin' a pint tomorrow.

 

My favorite Irish Dry Stout is Sly Fox O'Reilly's Stout:



Unfortunately it is draft only now.

Cheers!

 

I haven’t had a Dry Stout in many years, maybe I’ll get some fir tomorrow.

 

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. It's deep. I prefer it over any other style Guinness has. Otherwise Murphy's Stout from down in Cork is very good and has virtually no carbonation. Cheers!

 

I'll second the Guinness Foreign Extra. So good.

 

Extra Stout is legit great. A yearly buy for me and my favorite if we're strictly limiting to Irish Dry and not those labeled export.

 

I've always preferred Murphy's, and then Beamish after that, as opposed to Guinness. In Ireland, however, I'll take whatever they're pouring. I haven't been there in many years, but with the exception of Cork, Murphy's was almost impossible to find. Pretty much the same for Beamish. I did find them both but Guinness has really got the market tied up. Or at least they did.

 

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, if we're including the Foreign/Export style.

O'Hara's Irish Stout if we're only talking about Irish Dry.

 

Cadillac Mountain by far. i did like Portsmouth Black Cat; is it still made?

 

Murphy's or Beamish pints would be gorgeous then! I've heard good things about a brewery in Kinsale as well. Betcha they make a good dry stout. I will research that.

 

Guinness Extra stout for me I drink it year round! Murphy draught not bad it's on sale 3.99 4 pack at Binnys by me.

 

O'Hara's, both in bottles and on draught.

 

From Ireland: O'Hara's/O'Shea's, Murphy's, Guinness (both Draught and Extra), and Beamish (when it was available).

From the US: Most of the ones that I liked I can either no longer get or are retired. This includes Boulevard, Brooklyn, Northcoast Old No. 38, and Sprecher's Irish Stout.

For ones I can get now, I thought Breckenbridge's was decent enough.
