HORSES STILL HAULED WAGON LOADS OF GUINNESS THROUGH ST. JAMES
GATE EVERY DUBLIN MORNING. BARRELS AND BARRELS DESTINED FOR EVERY
PUB IN THE CITY.
One of The many things i learned in Ireland was how important dark
black pints of Guinness stout was to the subculture of Ireland. It took a little time
but eventually a pint of Guinness became necessary in any deep discussion.
On my 13 day stay in Dublin at the beginning of the Irish job I visited
the Guiness brewery tour 3 times. On one of these visits a Catholic priest
explained he was opposed to drink and gave me his sample pint. Nice guy who
must have been looking for something to do while in Dublin. As I was.
NOTE: I Think my picture of those horses is a treasure…cannot find any
others.
