And Northern Ireland is in Ireland. He didn't say Republic of Ireland.
Anyway beer. Depends what styles you are looking for and if it's just Irish. There is a great DIPA called Of Foam and Fury from Galway Bay and a brilliant Anerican Amber from 8 Degrees called Amber Ella. Metalman do a nice ale if you can get it. Most Irish breweries do an Irish Red and a porter or a stout. Most of the porters are great. There's a couple of good NI breweries. Bottles of headless dog are nice.
You'll also get a lot of English and Scottish stuff. I recommend picking up some brewdog beers. They do a lot if more American style beers but if you're looking for something more European then their Dogma is widely available and it's a Scottish ale.
If you've any other questions on it let me know. Oh and bring back a bottle of Buckfast for the laugh.
