    Darragh's comes across very honest, open and believable and I think that's why he's so popular.

    Started watching the Guinness Guru fairly early on, seeing the towns, villages of Ireland and pubs was the big inspiration for visiting from Canada. The channel shaped our route and destinations around the emerald isles. Our group hit 51 pubs found from Guru’s reviews over two weeks while enjoying the history and natural beauty of your country. As touched on, Darragh positive influence to tourism throughout Ireland must have been in multimillions to local businesses. To Guinness as a brand the same, many friends in our local town have made the switch to Guinness when available here. Good luck Darragh looking forward to seeing your future successes in this next chapter.

    I'm still following him but he should never have stopped the guinness reviews could of atleast done 1 every couple of months.

      i feel like he could very well go on with his channel change, but then simply upload a 'best Guinness in'' once every 2-3 or more months just whenever he truly feels like he would enjoy doing it. Even once a year would be awesome

    Always really grateful to Darragh for the inspiration for one of my best holidays ever, visiting the GG top 10 bars/pints etc in Ireland, 10 days of travelling the wonderful country from over here in the UK. Agree about Dingle, magical!

    Darragh could easily be a TV Presenter if he wanted. He has the face, voice and charisma, I also thinknhe could also work in radio but its best if he does his own thing with his own channel.

    I heard that the real reason he retired was due to a disastrous blind-tasting. Someone put a pint of Fanta in front of him and he claimed it was the best Guinness in Limerick.

    I was late to the Gurus channel, I was only watching a few weeks when he 'retired'! Love Daraghs personality, he's proper sound. I hope he gets into TV actually, I think he'd be great doing pop culture or light current affairs or something.

    I'd like to thank Daragh for introducing me to the far-flung corners of Ireland (and their pubs)....though, personally, I think McCarthy's in Castlisland is a better pint in the Kingdom compared to Dingle...but what do I know?!!
    I wonder if the follow-on channel could be Murphy's Master; where he sniffs out a cracking pint of the much-maligned Cork cousin of the Dublin Debonair?! Cheers to IBYD.

    Would someone there tell the Guinness guru “us” Guinness drinkers not only love Guinness but most of us love trying and drinking other beers whether it’s lighter or darker beers. As many like myself just found him and are watching his vlogs.

    Thanks for entertaining, enlightening & educating us into the variations of the dark red stuff & the differing corners of ALL of Ireland & your quality presentation.
    You’re some pup, Big Man, take time off & have a rest.
    You’re a reminder of another Big Irish guy who the world could listen too, all day long, & that’s Eamonn Andrews.

    “Living the dream here”, that’s your first massive mistake, no one lives the dream in Dumplin, it s a shthole. The food is mostly shoite and expensive. And the “craic”? That’s just a bunch of bollox’s talking bollox, give it two months and they spout the same shoite over again. And Guinness? It never changes, it’s either good or bad, but the flavour is just dull in the end.
