Murphy's Stout Properly Poured · Cork
Murphy's Irish Stout, brewed at the Leitrim Street brewery since 1856, is Cork's answer to Guinness and its Leeside residents are fierce in their loyalty.
James J Murphy founded the Lady's Well Brewery on Leitrim Street in 1856; the brewery still sits beside the natural spring that gives the beer its name. Murphy's Stout, now owned by Heineken and brewed in the same Cork city site, has a lighter, less roasted character than Dublin's stout, with a faint chocolate sweetness and a creamier head. The Cork pub canon insists on the slow two-part pour, three minutes settling, then topped flat to the rim; serving temperature is 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. Murphy's outsells Guinness in Cork and parts of Munster, and the proper pour is a point of regional pride debated at the Hi-B and Mutton Lane Inn.
