Battle of the Beers - Again! (*Blurp*)

KILKENNY 

versus 

GUINNESS

that says it all... does it not? 

An Irish Cream Ale 

and a Draught Stout of renown! 

FIRST, TO REALLY UNDERSTAND 

WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE... 

THE ORIGINS OF THE 

KILKENNY CREAM ALE!

WHERE IT COMES FROM:

This ol' Irish town seems to bring out the BEST in everyone: 

from brewers to bulls (!) to HOZIER... and others!

Granted, there is a lot that can be done 

with Guinness Stout - 

look at these recipes: 

MAIN COURSE...

FANCIER DRINK... 

AND DESSERT! 

 WOW!!

BUT, AT THE END OF THE BINGE, 

WHAT MATTERS IS... TASTE! 

(it matters here, certainly: 

it's not only in the blog's name 

I AM -also- a man of taste!) 

AND HOW ONE CAN DRINK IT 

ON ITS OWN - WITHOUT HAVING TO 

INCORPORATE IT INTO A RECIPE! 

HENCE, THE WINNER IS...

KILKENNY!!!

the Irish Cream Ale has far less bitterness in it 

than any darn STOUT... there - I said it! 

It is ''SMOOTH AND DISTINGUISHED'' baby - 

you can't beat that!!! 

BONUS TASTE-TESTING 

(guest ''T-T'' too...) 

Guinness Extra Stout 

and 

Murphy's Stout!

Guinness could win this one...

Murphy's Law, you know! 

And it's not like anyone's weeping over the decision here...

GUINNESS, KILKENNY and SMITHWICKS (too!) 

- they're all made in the same brewery!!! 

AMAZING ALES... indeedy!
