Drink of the Year: O'Hara's Stout, Carlow Brewing Company

O'Hara's magisterial stout is a destroyer: one sip, and you can't stand to ever drink a glass of measly Guinness ever again. O'Hara's is so toasty, so hoppy, so packed with vital, zingy flavours, that it reveals Guinness as the sad alcopop it has become. O'Hara's is simply one of the great drinks, a tribute to the hard work of the Carlow Brewing Co. Hunt it down, and treat it with the respect a truly great drink deserves.
