Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond

[Tago Mago]

@Mizmazzle love bone marrow

[Mizmazzle]

@Tago-Mago it’s sooo good…this one had a chimichurri on it that was really nice.

If you planned on trying some coddle whilst in Dublin I highly recommend Gravedigger's, a beautiful old pub with some great food and of course a perfect Guinness!

[Mizmazzle]

Yesterday marked the beginning of the road trip chapter out to the south west coast of Ireland. We landed in Ballyvaughn and we couldn’t be happier with this gorgeous little seaside village.

Pit stop in Athlone

Ballyvaughn!!!

Coolest little pub ever!!

Local oysters, shrimp, and mussels

Back home after a long day and night (love how light it stays until so late)

@americanathreads @Jett129 @seawolf
This Redbreast PX is the hands down winner thus far. I will be tracking this one down.

@Mizmazzle
the food looks awesome!
so much good food and drinks may result in upsizing when reaching Gos Vegas

[AdamC]

Great pics @Mizmazzle loving seeing your adventures

[SKT]

Truly enjoying this man, thanks for all the updates and letting us follow along! Pics are amazing (and I’m going to have to try some of that whiskey)

@Mizmazzle perhaps it’s just the angle, but that looks like a proper pour…

@Mizmazzle said in Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond:

Though I do find the pours round these parts to be a bit on the shy side…

Wait till you get here:

"In the Republic of Ireland, the standard measure for spirits in licensed premises is 35.5ml. This measure is equivalent to one standard drink containing approximately 10 grams of pure alcohol. In contrast, the standard measure in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) is 25ml."

@Mizmazzle I will also definitely be keeping my eyes open for that one. Hadn’t previously heard of it.

@Mizmazzle just awesome buddy. And thank feck the VW car rental has a dark interior

[Denman John]

@Mizmazzle Pure awesomeness!

[goosehd]

@Giles you uncivilized heathens, keeping a proper shot from the masses.

[goosehd]

…but on the other hand, you did keep up daily rations for sailors longer than most.

[Alex]

Yeah, the first time I ordered a double whiskey in america (50ml in the UK), I got a bit more of a buzz than I was anticipating

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Any chance you’ll be near Cork,where the Red Breast distillery is? A tour would probably be way too much fun.

[Mizmazzle]

@Giles oh damn! That’s a little depressing haha

[Mizmazzle]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot must be the angle. Cause the pours are standard across all the pubs.

@Mizmazzle great stuff, Mark. Looks like a great little town. Loving the side story of Redbreast discovery in Ireland . The PX is stellar. Redbreast 27 is next!

Btw, duty free at Dublin Airport is a great place for whiskey shopping. They usually have an amazing Redbreast selection (cheaper too, obviously).
