Brewed in Dublin, Guinness has become a global
icon of Irishness. The black stout represents the country with global marketing
campaigns, is a major sponsor, and is on the checklist for many visitors to the
island. Its counterpart, brewed in Cork, has an equally interesting history,
but does not enjoy the fame or global reach. Nevertheless, Beamish is an Irish
tradition far off the radar of many tourists set to buy overpriced Guinness apparel
in tourist shops.
Dating from 1792, Beamish is today brewed by
the Heineken company in Cork. It retains its original recipe that creates a
beer that is pleasantly bitter with a creamy texture. While occasionally found
outside of Ireland, it is primarily brewed for domestic consumption.
