This year marked the third anniversary of the annual Stout and About awards. The anonymous columnist trawled pubs in Britain and Ireland in an effort to find the perfect pint and also to check if the world famous pouring process was being upheld in Ireland and overseas. It was a turbulent year with the closure and later the reopening of The Irish Post but Stout is delighted to unveil this year’s winners who all performed admirably under keen scrutiny. Congratulations and happy pouring in the future.
