I tried it blind against stouts and porters to find out
I wanted to say something, but then I realized that these were all UK beers. I'm sure the West Indian and African immigrant population has something to say about the ranking of Guinness Extra, though. It shouldn't have been included, completely different beer from the others.
@MrOH - Beamish is mentioned above, which likely played a part in Laura's decision to write the piece. Considering, the UK relaunch - Beamish Comes to Great Britain with Cave Direct October 2025
There are some really nice beers in Ireland. Beamish getting some credit! I've spent a lot of time in Cork. Murphy's & Beamish come first. Worth a mention that my first few journeys over were pre-millenium and pre-EU. A pint of Beamish (the working man's pint) cost 80 pence. The national prices of pints kept going up & up.
