Guinness, the iconic beer brand of Ireland, faces serious competition as local microbreweries are popping up in Ireland to bring a variety of new craft beers to for locals and tourists to enjoy. Listen to the story of the Lane Café Bar in Killarney Ireland and their bold move to replace the Guinness tap handle with locally brewed Killarney Stout instead. Told by local Irishmen Patrick and Steven, you’ll hear about the decision to make the change and what happened afterwards with some reactions from the locals (Spoiler alert: No Guinness? = Shocker).
