Irishman claims Guinness consumed in local Wetherspoons ‘far superior’ to back home in Donegal
Michael O’Patrick, 59, of Bexleyheath in Kent, yesterday told astonished locals in The Moon Under Water pub that he much preferred their popular stout than the one he grew up on, in the green hills of Donegal. ‘Its all about the water,’ he explained, ‘and this simply tastes slightly less like burnt coffee than the stuff we got in Donny. It’s OK to be Irish, for sure, but no one does a pint of Guinness like a Wetherspoons in Kent.’
