Thanks, guys, I did make it down to Dublin for a night and tried the Porterhouse near the Temple Bar district. The beers were very good, which made me feel better after missing the last Jameson tour of the evening just before. My favorite was the Oyster Stout.
I'm in Amsterdam now and heading back to Milwaukee tomorrow morning. Had a tour of Brouwerij 't Ij. I highly recommend that for anyone visiting. The Heineken tour was entertaining, but very similar in style to the Guinness tour we took a couple days earlier, in that you aren't so much touring a working brewery as you are a museum to the company. The Browerij 't Ij person knew more about brewing beer than all the people on the Heineken and Guinness tours combined. I got a blank stare from the guy demonstrating the Heineken ingredients when I asked him what variety of hops they use. A gal showing off roasted barley told me they use 10% roasted barley, 10% malted barley and 80% unmalted barley. I would think that would be difficult to convert.
