Guinness and the Castles of Ireland - An Exploration
Manage episode 376145292 series 3404305
Today we explore the legacy of Ireland’s favorite drink and the castles that dominate its landscape.
With an estimated 30,000 castles scattered throughout Ireland and Guiness drinkers a plenty, the impact both have on Irish culture and outlook is worth investigating.
We’ll tell jokes, learn facts and explore this connection thoroughly as we hike towards Ross Castle in Country, Kerry.
Grab a pint, relax and join us on our way around the Emerald Isle.
