The First Pint of Guinness

Soon after we arrived our friends took us out for a drive to get our bearings and suggest things to do and places to visit during our stay.

Wonderful people that they are, they also took us to one of the best places to drink Guinness in the area and bought us a pint.


So here we are, enjoying our first tast of proper Irish Guinness in the Bushmills Inn. What a delicious pint it was and the atmosphere and surrounds of the inn were something special. Anytime any of our readers fancy treating themselves to a special break, this is the place to go. Check out our link and be tempted.

As the sharp eyed among you may have spotted, we were sampling a bit more than the Guinness. While Yorkie liked the taste of the Guinness, he had his usual problem of handling the heavy pint glass. He found a tumbler of Bushmills finest Black Bush whisky much more manageable and very much to his taste. In fact he got so enthusiastic we had to restrain him from diving in (see what we mean in the picture!).

The Bushmills distillery is only just down the road from the Bushmills Inn so is another good reason (if you needed one) to visit this great corner of Northern Ireland.

Needless to say, this might have been our first visit to the Bushmills Inn of the week, but it certainly wasn't the last.

Lots of love, George, Eddie & Yorkie xxx

I started with a Bushmills Black Bush as an aperitif and then as a night cap I joined Partick, George and Eddie in a large glass of Bushmills 10 year old Malt Whiskey!
