Ireland

Northern Europe

Ireland took porter from London and kept it after London gave it up, then narrowed it to a single dry, roasty stout so dominant it eclipses everything else brewed here. The nitrogen pour that made it famous is younger than the beer by two centuries.

Fig. 2. Circle area is beers on record for that town. Labels appear as room allows, so zooming in reveals towns rather than enlarging them. Only towns whose coordinates could be sourced are drawn, so an unmarked town means a missing coordinate rather than a town without beer.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is only as deep as its sources: 74% of everything it holds is American or Dutch, because that is what the bulk import reached, not because that is where beer is. So the styles most often recorded in Ireland are not necessarily the ones most often brewed there, and a country with few beers here has a thin record rather than a thin brewing scene.
