Some Things Never Change

Back in the states Adam has a mild obsession with the art and skill of beer collecting, trading, selling, and of course drinking! I'm not complaining because I too happen to enjoy my husband's little beer hobby. So you might think that being here in Ireland would provide us with much beer joy. All that beautiful Guinness flowing freely.

However, that's not really the case. Disclaimer:  I thoroughly enjoy Guinness. However, the lack of choices beyond that are a bit disappointing. So leave it to Adam to hook up with a beer buddy within our first week here. Adam is a member of an online group called Beer Advocate  I guess I always assumed that this group was only present in the U.S.  Turns out Beer Advocate has a much further reach! Go figure. So before heading over The pond Adam put a call out to the beer geeks in Ireland to announce his pending arrival. Wouldn't you know it a fellow beer geek heard the call, took pity on Adam and agreed to meet in order to show him the best place to find unique beers and imports.

So a trip to the best bottle shop in Dublin was arranged. Here are a few pictures of Adam and his new beer buddy, Graeme, checking out the beer selection. Look how happy he is!
