Half essay-avoidance strategy, half genuine research. This is the running tab of Dublin pints I've argued about with people who definitely didn't ask. Ranked purely on vibes, foam, and how long I could nurse one while pretending to read for a seminar.

Pints, Pubs, and Panic Reading — 5 items
Name	Beer	Where I had it	Address	City	My take
1Guinness (draught)	Guinness Draught	The Long Hall	51 South Great George's Street	Dublin	Obvious, yes, but the settle takes long enough that you can finish a paragraph of your essay before it lands. Ten out of ten for procrastination science.
2Rascals Session IPA	Rascals Session IPA	Rascals Brewing Co Taproom	Unit 1, Kylemore Park North, Bluebell	Dublin	Dangerously drinkable for something that calls itself an IPA. Whole taproom is full of lads pretending their bikes outside are a personality trait.
3Guinness 0.0	Guinness 0.0	Guinness Open Gate Brewery	St James's Gate, 39 James's Street	Dublin	Ordered this the one time I had a 9am, then spent the rest of the visit being smug about it. Brewery tour crowd is tourists and my lecturer, apparently.
4Trouble Brewing Vagabond IPA	Trouble Brewing Vagabond IPA	Underdog	20 Wexford Street	Dublin	Hoppy enough to wake you up before an evening lecture, which is the only reason I remember attending that one. Bar staff never once judged the highlighter-covered notes on the table.
5Five Lamps Dublin Lager	Five Lamps Dublin Lager	The Ginger Man	40 Fenian Street	Dublin	Light, local, and dangerously easy to order a second round of while telling yourself you're 'networking' near Aviva Stadium on match day.
