“Guinness on tap is my favorite beer in the world,” he stated, a sentiment that quickly resonated with fans both local and afar. The iconic stout, a staple of Irish culture, is widely available in the United States. Yet, sipping a pint in the very place it was crafted carries a special significance that fans can appreciate.
