I think the MOST important reason to drink locally where ever you are and from the best brewers is that there is usually SOME quality about the brew that is critically important to the food or work or weather or dirt or water or politics or cave temps or SOMETHING that makes it the absolute PERFECT beer to drink there. So when in Ireland, of course drink a delicious Guinness, but understand why it is the way it is, get to understand the entomology of the process there, the water, the daily distribution (in my opinion the reason why Guinness is such a "homesick" beer is the body of it, despite being as dark as our women, has the most etherial hop and grain notes that simply will not tolerate sitting around. Every one I had there was probably only days from the tab at St James Gate, not even a week.) Again, its good to be alive. And a beer drinker.
