The Blacksmith - Try It Bitches


In all my alcoholic pilgramiges I actually never thought about combining the two best Irish brews of all time. The Blacksmith, as it is dubbed by a couple of friends o' mine combines Smithwick's with Guinness. Hey, why not? I tried it at a local "redneck" bar here on the southside (which has Guinness and Smithwick's on tap which is why I frequent the establishment a lot) and I got to tell ya, it's about as good as the Black and Tan (Guiness and Bass) and better than the Half and Half (Guinness and Harp). Bold statement, I know but I stand by my drunken epiphany, it is teh shit. Bold taste and it goes down oh so smooth. Anyways, the bar is called The Shire which is confusing to most since it actually says Robbie's Pub on the outside. Well, more than likely this poor bastard of a bar will be closing at some point due to the fact that no one goes there other than me and a couple of old farts on the southside because Bubba's and Joe's takes up all the business in the area. But damn it, The Shire is the only place to have Guinness, Smithwick's and a great german wheat beer on draft. Oh well, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
