A beer list is basically a well-diversified portfolio: you want a core holding (Guinness, reliable as a government bond) and a few speculative small-caps that might blow up spectacularly, in a good way. These are the pints I keep going back to between Leinster matches and lunch-break paperbacks, ranked on nothing scientific whatsoever, just like most of my spreadsheets.

Dublin pints worth the detour — 3 items
Name	Beer	Brewery	Style	Where To Drink It	My Take
1Guinness Draught	Guinness Draught	St. James's Gate Brewery	Dry Stout	Guinness Open Gate Brewery, 53 James's Street, Dublin 8	The index fund of Irish beer. Boring to recommend, impossible to argue with. Always outperforms expectations.
2Rollover	Rollover	Whiplash Beer	Session IPA	Fidelity, 79 Queen Street, Dublin 7	Light enough that I've convinced myself it's a palate cleanser between proper pints. It isn't. Dangerous, like a page-turner on a work night.
3Bullseye Nitro Stout	Bullseye Nitro Stout	Rascals Brewing Company	Nitro Stout	Rascals HQ, Unit 5 Goldenbridge Estate, Tyrconnell Road, Inchicore, Dublin 8	Pairs with their wood-fired pizza the way a good opening line pairs with a long novel. Worth the trek out past Kilmainham.
