Daragh Curran is best known worldwide as “The Guinness Guru.” He’s visited almost every pub in Ireland, a ton in the UK, and some in the US, and rated the pint of proper placed in front of him. Join us as we discuss how to drink a Guinness, and what he looks for when rating it. We also dive into the creative process, why there’s no such thing as an “Overnight Success” and why he’s stepping down as The Guinness Guru.
