Then, of course, came the test of Farren’s pint of Guinness, which Hugh said had been a bit of a concern. Thankfully, it was poured to near perfection.

“I don’t have a problem with the talking,” Hugh said before pulling the pint, with the local price €4.60.placeholder image
“I don’t have a problem with the talking,” Hugh said before pulling the pint, with the local price €4.60.

“Hugh was a little bit nervous,” Curran said. “Not about the talking but about the pint. It looks good to me. She’s fat and creamy. There was love and care and compassion put into this. Hugh takes good pride in the Guinness.  It’s good.”

The video was uploaded on Bank Holiday Monday, with the channel having 56,000 subscribers.
