Beers Of Ireland Tasting-Ryan's Publik House

This past week in honor of Saint Patricks Day, Ryan's was having there weekly tasting with Irish beers.  The tastings are on Tuesdays at 6pm and I just so happened to have the day off.   I found myself a seat at the bar and was given a paper with some info on each beer we were going to be tasting.  I am not a huge fan of dark beers, however in honor of the Irish holiday I thought it would be good to broaden my taste buds when it comes to beer.  The beers I tasted are the following:  Kilkenny, Smithwicks, Harp Larger, Guinness Black Lager, all from Ireland.  The last beer was a Irish style stout made in Milwaukee, Wisconsin called Snake Chaser.  The two latter beers having the most complex flavors with chocolate, coffee, English toffee flavors.  Something like that is good for a pint or two on a cold day.  When I was done with the tasting I asked for a menu.  Looking at Ryan's menu I could tell that they had made some changes and was looking at there pork belly mac & cheese, I was sold.  I was crisp, cheesy and filling.  I barley finished as a washed down the last bite with the last of my Kilkenny pint.
