Summary of Pint Sized Ireland
Guinness - the first taste is the weirdest! As it happens, regret is the word that describes Evan McHugh's first experience of the slab-black Irish beverage that is described as 'an acquired taste'. Evan McHugh twirls around the Emerald Isle in search of the perfect Guinness - it's an arduous task - and meets unforgettable characters along the way. He is sung an Irish love song that is supposed to lead to marriage (and does), he goes rowing with a flame-haired German bagpiper on the lakes of Killarney, windsurfing with a one-armed man, survives an encounter with the illicit spirit called 'poteen'. But does he ever find a pint he doesn't regard as a poisoned chalice? He most certainly does! Throw in some literature and poetry, history, incredible Irish scenery, the turmoil of Irish politics, romance Irish-style and lots of jokes and you have the makings of a lively tale.Beer Books
