I'm 39 it is 100% appreciation. Getting drunk is not fun as you get older but enjoying a drink is. I have a couple of pints or a couple of whiskies maybe once or twice a week and that is it. Much more enjoyable.
When I was visiting Ireland several years ago, I was at a pub in Kilkenny and they served me up some Kilkenny cream ale. To this day it is one of my favorites. As I'm in the States it's hard to come by. It's become my unicorn and anytime I can track it down I get a couple pints of it. Enjoy your reviews. Thanks!
That Tudor looking building behind on the intro has a very interesting street behind it which leads to Dolier St. It's closed off now but it's a step back in time, bit like a street out of a Harry Potter movie

If you like Erdinger I think you'll absolutely love other German Weissbiers like Franziskaner or Paulaner. Aldi Rheinbacher Weissbier is an absolute steal too.
Get onto the Old peculiar if you're liking ales mate. Not overly creamy but the flavours are unbelievable. Can get it in tesco in bottles. Even better on the perfect draft !
This year I just had the best beer I have ever had. It was called "Weedy’s Rad Idea" Pumpkin Milkshake Hazy IPA from Dark Sky in flagstaff. I dont even know how to describe it...but it was the most interesting beer I have ever had, not an IPA by any traditional standards, but so incredible good. Typically I like stouts and porters, followed by brown ales...but this thing just flat out won.
That’s a really nice beer on nitro , it’s actually been around from O Hara’s for over 20 years in Irish pubs so it’s funny you are only discovering it now . But no disagreement that’s a very good beer .
Had this in Sean's Bar Athlone years ago - it's O'Hara's Red Nitro but they advertise it as Sean's Red Ale or something like that - worth ringing them up and checking if they still have it
Had a few of these from a can and they've always been decent. Tried Killkenny from a bottle and it wasn't great but I'll give it another go if I see it in the pub
I work in a bank. I heard a trader talking about Guinness as a business. He said had a shortage recently. He then went on to say it was because of how popular Guinness drinking is now with Gen Z. I just thought “that is down to one man, the Guru himself”. Cheers Darragh. I wonder if I’ll find a pint of O’Haras in London…
I tried it first in O'Connells Bar next to the Ha'penny Bridge. Absolutely gorgeous pint. I have to agree, possibly my new favourite beer. But we have extremely similar tastes when it comes to pints. I'll always find myself with a Kilkenny when I get a chance but that O'Hara's was something else
You should also try the O’Haras Leann Follain stout. They’ve bottles of it in my local mace and it’s absolutely class. Even better than Wicklow wolf apex. O haras are putting out great stuff lately!
Glad to see you broadening your pallet Daragh, we'll make an ale drinker of you yet. As you broaden your pallet you might want to revisit some beers you weren't keen on and see how your taste might have changed.
You should try Caffreys Irish Ale. Theres an irish pub in Glasgow I always get a pint o caffreys if im in. Used to do nitro cans of it but our shops in Scotland dont seem to stock it anymore. Such a shame
Hey Daragh Have you ventured into the dark arts of The Porterhouse, the original bar on Parliament St. Great pint of plain porter, also their Red Ale (my personal favourite😉) I’d love to meet you there for a pint Cheers bud
I dropped into Mulligans today to try it. It is not as creamy as made out in the video. Dont be expecting a cremier than Guinness pint. But in saying that I enjoyed it. And what's the craic charging €7.60? That's just gouging.
not a fan of red ales, but such videos make want to try them more 🍺 do you think the high price of the pint is also because people don´t drink it as much as other beer and when it becomes more popular, the price will drop?
Daragh. Love your beer vlogs, you cover my tastes well. On your manscape vlog, I had to lol. Many years ago I had a hernia op. Here’s a couple of verses from o poem I wrote about it. I’ve been and had my hernia fixed A traumatic event I must admit The first step said nurse with a sweet little grin Is go and get shaved, and I don’t mean your chin She offered to do it to which I declined As parts of a man are quite fragile you’ll mind The first bit is easy, as it’s lean and it’s sleek But under and over, its crinkled and weak The inventor of razors and inventor of balls Never conferred on the choice of the tools Said nurse when she checked it, it looks rather sore Just like a battlefield, all blood and gore Etc, etc, it goes on… lol
Can't get killkenny in the uk i even emailed Guinness as for OHARAS for 24 cans they wanted £91 pounds this needs sorting uk someone needs to start importing this soon as
Watching you drink that reminds me of those 7 perfect guinness I had in some hotel nightclub in dublin 4 years ago. been chasing it ever since. I remember drinking it and the pint was gone in seconds. I couldn't believe it. It was absolute perfcetion, it wasn't even like i was drinking guinness. I've been to all the big hitters, all the pubs and some got close... there was just something about those guinness I had that night. WHAT CAUSING A DRINK TO JUST BE PERFECT?! I'd just been woken up as the club was right beneath my window, was abit raging it wa a long day, went down to check it out lady on the front desk said i get a free one since I'm staying, went in had a chat with the staff since it was only 2AM and it wasn't swinging yet. Mind was fucking blown... like they say chasing the dragon ever since.
Absolutely love O'hara's Nitro stout but their customer service is a joke. They don't reply to emails, their phone number doesn't even have a dial tone. Tried ordering a T-Shirt and some pint glasses and some 440ml glasses, paid 78 Euros including 30 Euros delivery to the UK nearly a month ago and they haven't sent my items but have taken my money. No update, no way of contacting them. Do better O'hara's, do much better!
Did they say it's using Nitro? I asked you on Instagram if Clarksons stout was poured using nitro, I'm just thinking it probably wasn't hence the disappointment

Totally agree, I am Same age and I have a pint occasionally on a dog walk. Appreciate it more now lol

Where have you been able to find it in the States?

@@brennanz7328I saw it in McEwan's Scotch Ale pub in Glen Arbor, Michigan. It was tasty! 😋
It is excellent, can be hard to get in Ireland and ironically in Kilkenny too

I'm visiting Dublin in February. I'm gonna make a stop in this pub and I'll try out this beer.
I head over for the hurling semis most years & this place is the undisputed first & favourite stop
The beauty of a pint or two as you get older is something to behold
Daragh,

Target Audience: All the Goys, absolute horseplay
They open Christmas morning?
If you like Erdinger I think you'll absolutely love other German Weissbiers like Franziskaner or Paulaner. Aldi Rheinbacher Weissbier is an absolute steal too.
Hell beers always a win for me
Yeah Franziskaner is so much better than Erdinger, and the Aldi Weissbier I think last time I had it was very similar if not almost identical to it.
I hate Franziskaner, it tastes like someone's squirted Savlon in my pint. Love the others mentioned though
Paulaner is the best, especially if you can get it on tap. Morrisons sell it. Aldi Rheinbacher is a nice cheaper alternative
Paulaner is a class beer
I'm able to get O'Haras here in Colorado. The stout is phenomenal.
Get onto the Old peculiar if you're liking ales mate. Not overly creamy but the flavours are unbelievable. Can get it in tesco in bottles. Even better on the perfect draft !
That looks delicious 🤤 will order some of that for Christmas
Definitely going to try that. Looks gorgeous
Sounds unreal mate and good to see you branching out so far from the black gear

Looks incredible. If you like that style, I think you would also enjoy Old Speckled Hen on tap. Its a creamer.
That’s a really nice beer on nitro , it’s actually been around from O Hara’s for over 20 years in Irish pubs so it’s funny you are only discovering it now . But no disagreement that’s a very good beer .
Over 7 Euros for a pint is a fuckin' outrage....
Come to western us. Won’t find a decent pint below $8
Fingers crossed it makes its way over to england im dying to try this one!!
Great craic Daragh! Need to give O’Haras a try 🍺🍺🍺
I am a fan of a few cans of o haras Irish stout. Lovely aftertaste, could be creamier though. Would like to try in pub
As an alternative to a creamy pint of Guinness, Kilkenny and O' Haras Red Ale Nitro out of the fridge are absolutely delicious 😋😋😋😋😋
Close to tears drinking that cream 😂
Will definitely give it a go! Thx Daragh..
whens it coming to the north? it looks amazing
They’ve loads of Kilkenny over here in the UAE, especially Dubai. They had it in Japan too all on draught
If I see red ales here in Scotland they're a must have. Always delicious.
Red MacGregor from Orkney and Fire Light from Burnside are both class red ones that spring to mind.
That looks great. I'm assuming it isn't overly hopped like other craft ales?
Erdinger is amazing!!
"Picnic Beer" (Beer in a keg) always taste better, and in a bar / pub its all the better yet. Cheers!
Had this in Sean's Bar Athlone years ago - it's O'Hara's Red Nitro but they advertise it as Sean's Red Ale or something like that - worth ringing them up and checking if they still have it
Will order some cans online and try it ; look forward to it 🍻

I’ve gotta try that beer. And Mulligan’s is such a great pub.
I tried it first in O'Connells Bar next to the Ha'penny Bridge. Absolutely gorgeous pint. I have to agree, possibly my new favourite beer. But we have extremely similar tastes when it comes to pints. I'll always find myself with a Kilkenny when I get a chance but that O'Hara's was something else
I could get O'Hara's in Denmark 20 years ago because you normally drink local! Not Carlsberg/Tuborg :( Hancock heaven :)
You should also try the O’Haras Leann Follain stout. They’ve bottles of it in my local mace and it’s absolutely class. Even better than Wicklow wolf apex. O haras are putting out great stuff lately!
If there is one beer I love, but have not had since the 1980`s, its `Beamish Stout`, they don`t sell it mainland UK
Like the sound of this brew ❤
Glad to see you broadening your pallet Daragh, we'll make an ale drinker of you yet. As you broaden your pallet you might want to revisit some beers you weren't keen on and see how your taste might have changed.
Love O'Haras red too! I'm in Germany and can only get the cans. I do really like their stout too.
Storm Daragh in the house
Darragh Kilkenny is a red ale too. The cream thing is marketing not a beer style. A cream ale IS a beer style but it's nothing like these.
6,90 on Black Sheep Capel St
If you’re going to go on a Red Ale adventure I highly recommend finding a Sullivan’s Red Ale An amazing pint. Sullivans is out of Kilkenny.
I just paid $120 for 24 cans delivered to my place in California. I hope it’s worth it!
Nice one.
You should try Caffreys Irish Ale. Theres an irish pub in Glasgow I always get a pint o caffreys if im in. Used to do nitro cans of it but our shops in Scotland dont seem to stock it anymore. Such a shame
This is a great recommendation if you want the worst hangover you'll ever experience lol
Waxy's have it from time to time but haven't been in there for years. I'm sure you can still get cans in Morrisons or Asda.
I went here in June, think you was the Man who opened my eyes to the joint. 🍻
Intrigued! Mothers Milk is a strong sentiment 😳🇮🇪
If this is better than Kilkenny cream ale, I definitely need to try it!
You are the Guinness Guru and you’re not allowed to have another favourite!
Sullivan's Red Ale all the way. Canned O'Hara's is good but I don't think the nitrogen adds anything to the experience.
The best Red Ale I’ve ever had
Sullivan's is my fave, too. Best in the Brewery Pub in Kilkenny.
Much more taste off Sullivan's, a very nice ale.
Darragh likes the smoothness off the nitro ,Guinness etc
Sullivan's has more flavour etc.a really nice ale
Darragh likes the smoothness the nitro gives like Guinness etc
Was drinking the Porterhouse Nitro red ale years before this came out. Go to the Porterhouse temple bar and try the Nitro red.
Love Dublin pubs,but the prices are mental
Have you tried London Black that it absolutely beautiful
Yes it’s on the channel 🍺
Have U tried Caledonia red draught it's lovely
Hey Daragh
Have you ventured into the dark arts of The Porterhouse, the original bar on Parliament St. Great pint of plain porter, also their Red Ale (my personal favourite😉) I’d love to meet you there for a pint
Cheers bud
I’m off to Mulligans haha
I dropped into Mulligans today to try it. It is not as creamy as made out in the video. Dont be expecting a cremier than Guinness pint. But in saying that I enjoyed it. And what's the craic charging €7.60? That's just gouging.
Can I get this and Kilkenny in the UK?
My favourite was Smithwicks blond. They got rid of it!!!
Savage beer, used to love a few pint bottles of it out the fridge. Could never find it on draught
Massage 5.0 Ultra. Not sure, does it come in TURBO DIESEL ?
Thick, milky, creamy & rich. Must give it a go.
Good christ, that pint looks delicious.
not a fan of red ales, but such videos make want to try them more 🍺
do you think the high price of the pint is also because people don´t drink it as much as other beer and when it becomes more popular, the price will drop?
Whats the chances of finding it here in SE England?
Gave it a go after your last video don’t know if I’d drink it all night but no doubt it’s a nice drink
Try 9 white deer man stag stout man, got a keg , its unreal , similar to guinness and gluten free
Anyone know where I can get a pint of this in Wexford? Ta
nitro beers are creamy ,but lack taste
Great Video, looks ace, im looking for it now in me next boozer, cheers bro.
Daragh. Love your beer vlogs, you cover my tastes well. On your manscape vlog, I had to lol. Many years ago I had a hernia op. Here’s a couple of verses from o poem I wrote about it.
I’ve been and had my hernia fixed
A traumatic event I must admit
The first step said nurse with a sweet little grin
Is go and get shaved, and I don’t mean your chin
She offered to do it to which I declined
As parts of a man are quite fragile you’ll mind
The first bit is easy, as it’s lean and it’s sleek
But under and over, its crinkled and weak
The inventor of razors and inventor of balls
Never conferred on the choice of the tools
Said nurse when she checked it, it looks rather sore
Just like a battlefield, all blood and gore
Etc, etc, it goes on… lol
Can't get killkenny in the uk i even emailed Guinness as for OHARAS for 24 cans they wanted £91 pounds this needs sorting uk someone needs to start importing this soon as

best mass produced stout right now is Wye Valley's nightjar, incredible, everything Guinness isn't
I agree. Wish they did it in cans
Sales figures says otherwise

DARRAGH DID YOU GET THE HAIR PLUGS IN TURKEY?
Their stout is horrific. The red ale is nice though.
4.3% anything below 5% is a waste of time 😂
Ooo Mullys
Holt's new stout it's very nice
Ah, Mulligan's
Putting a thirst on me. Great video. must try.
I drink 5 pints of Nigerian Guinness a night and I will die happy
Got to try some of this in Mulligans at the end of October - good lord, it's unreal!
How to make a beer more bland, I'll tell you. Use nitrogen and that particular beer is even more bland than Guinness, at least to my taste
ffs you made me desperate to try it - and I'm in the car for another few hours..
kilkenny > o'hara's red
You didn't actually describe any flavours in the beer apart from creamy head 😂 so we don't know what it tastes like😂
PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY THE GUINNESS GURU CHANGED THE NAME OF HIS CHANNEL AS I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA FOR 3 YEARS 😊
Feck me, that's an expensive drop 💧
That is ridiculous price for a pint sure they can keep it wouldn’t pay that price🙄
Absolutely love O'hara's Nitro stout but their customer service is a joke. They don't reply to emails, their phone number doesn't even have a dial tone.

Probably full of man
Cheese
This one is horrendous. Had it last week and absolutely hated it. The wheat in it is just not to my taste. It might be creamy but tastes awful.
What strength is it
