Bloom thinks about all of the pubs in Dublin, contemplating their profit margins per pint, gallon, and barrell, but he always refers to porter and not stout. Did they call guinness a porter in 1914? Was porter more popular than stout? Also, a beer sounds delicious right about now, even if it is seven in the morning. (image via The Beauty of Ireland distributed by American Home Treasures) I am still on an Irish Travel video kick.  This is actually a DVD (fancy) hence the screenshot and not just another scan of a cover.  The “Best Porter” sign is actually from the town of Dingle in County Kerry.
