How Irish Pubs Became The Second Largest Export Of Food And Drink In The World

Drink

After McDonald’s, Irish pubs are the largest export of food and drink in the world. It is not just the food and drink that they export, though. They sell the drinking culture entirely, although not as effectively as its home town, Dublin. The Irish are known internationally for their drinking habit. Every Irish pub in the world has almost the same aesthetic: dark wood panels running all over the floor, ceiling and walls, a string music soundtrack with bagpipes obviously, maybe a Gaelic sign here and there, a framed picture of James Joyce and Guinness running from a tap. The last bit of detail, the Guinness, was the actual reason why Irish pubs got sold so fast and so wide. However, it was not just because of the drink; it was because of the drinking habit.

Irish Pub

The Irish Pub Concept was developed by an architect from Dublin who went by the name of Mel McNally. He founded the Irish Pub Company in 1990 to expand the Irish pub business worldwide. He reasoned, logically and correctly, that the tourism to Ireland that had increased considerably during that time would make people want the Irish pub experience elsewhere as well. Right around that time, Diageo, the parent company of Guinness, got wind of this massive idea, and struck an unofficial partnership with them. Together, the two were unstoppable. The Irish loved Guinness, and the Irish Pub Company sold the drinking habit on the drink. Ever since their first Irish pub at Moscow airport (Shannon’s) they went on to build 2000 odd culturally and commercially successful pubs all over the world.

It is, however, interesting to note that even though Guinness, which garnered so much attention because of the Irish Pub Company, was asked about it, they completely denied there was any formal relationship between the two companies. Bill Grantham, a visiting professor at Loughborough University, thinks otherwise. He went to explain that there were a lot of underlying clues that stated that Guinness and the Irish Pub Company are still working together, even though they openly deny it. The Irish Pub Concept belongs to the drinks conglomerate and parent company of Guinness, Diageo. The Irish Pub Concept even has an Overview section on its website where the market analysis of the Concept was being done by Guinness. The harp logo of Guinness is practically everywhere on the Irish Pub Concept website, and Grantham agrees that they have no intention of hiding this connection even though they deny it.

McNally’s

McNally’s success formula for a good Irish pub were  authentic design, authentic Irish food and beverage, Irish music and entertainment, and employees and management trained in the ways of the Irish. There is nothing like it, and is definitely a unique experience to try out.

The Runaway Success Of Smoke Free Bars In Ireland

Bars

Ireland, on the 29th of March 2004, became the first country in the world to ban smoking in all workplaces, including bars and restaurants. People however, both local and international, were shocked to the fullest when the legislation included bars. The people who were opposing this move stated that it would be ludicrous to even assume that Irish bars, known globally for smoking and drinking, were the last places on the planet where smoking should be banned.

However, this was not met with massive uprising and revolt, but rather with acceptance. Within the next few months, seven states in the United States of America and 9 provinces in Canada went smoke free completely, which included bars and restaurants. Other countries that followed suit with the Irish model of smoke free legislation were New Zealand, Uganda, Norway, bhutan and Italy. All these countries banned smoking not just for the customers, but also the staff who worked at these workplaces too. Scotland and Sweden brought about a smoke free legislation in 2005, while it took Australia 2 more years, finally banning it in 2007. After Ireland’s bold decision, several countries have come up with legislation to prevent smoking and protect their citizens from the epidemic of passive smoke.

Smoke Free Bars In Ireland

Even though the legislation was met with welcome arms in workplaces like public transport, the cinema and work offices, the hospitality sector, the bars and restaurants, raised their voices against the smoke free legislation. Most of those who were opposing the move were bar owners and their representatives, and the same resistance was felt in the United States and Canada where bars were a social focal point in everyone’s lives. There was a rhetoric of gloom and dread that washed over the place. The protestors argued that the legislation was unnecessary, unworkable and unjustified, and that it was not the job of the publicans and staff to enforce the law on the customers. However what really happened was a completely different story.

The people of Ireland, as it turns out, were extremely compliant. In fact, they were so compliant that six months after the legislation was passed a survey conducted by the Office of Tobacco Control, which included a total of twenty six thousand six hundred and twenty seven inspections, concluded that the compliance rate clocked in a whopping 94 percent. The government also set up a free phone compliance line to report any breaches in the legislation, which peaked at 1524 calls in the first month, and declined rapidly to 145 in the next month and so on. Only 11 out of the 700 odd bars faced legal action for failing to comply with the legislation.

What Makes A Great Irish Pub?

Irish Pub

When you think of the Irish, the first two things that come to mind are men in kilts playing bagpipes and drunk Irish men. The Irish pub is sort of like a watering hole for the Irish where everyone meets and shares a drink or two. The general idea of an Irish Pub is dark wood paneling, a string music soundtrack with bagpipes obviously, maybe a Gaelic sign here and there, a framed picture of James Joyce and Guinness running from a tap. However, the last item on the list, the Guiness, wasn’t really an Irish thing till 1990.

Great Irish Pub

1990 was the year a Dublin architect who went by the name of Mel McNally made the Irish Pub Company. It was a first of a kind company in Ireland, created to build Irish style drinking establishments all over the world. Diageo, parent company of Guinness, saw this as a golden opportunity and decided to partner up with them. Since their first Irish pub in the Moscow airport called Shannon’s, Guinness has been associated with the Irish people since then.

However, it wasn’t just a mere coincidence that Guinness partnered with the Irish Pub Company. There were two other companies, Love Irish Pubs and Ol Irish Pubs Ltd. which were popular at the time as well. However, the people of Ireland fancied Guinness over other drinks which made the Irish Pub Company famous: the other companies barely stood a chance. They still operate within Ireland suite proficiently, with Love Irish Pubs website providing offers like sports memorabilia, musical instruments and whiskey jogs among other bar related stuff.

However, quite a lot of Irish people and people who have lived in Dublin argue that the Guinness gets worse outside of Ireland. In fact, according to them, the quality of Guinness gets worse the further away the pub is from Ireland. Bill Barich, author of A Pint of Plain, says that bottled Guinness is much thicker than the on tap Guinness that you are served at an Irish pub in the United States or the United Kingdom.

 

The main reason why these Irish pubs in other countries are not as good as the Irish pubs back home in Dublin is the same reason why people practically live in Irish pubs in Dublin: the social factor. Irish pubs are much more than just pubs for them, it is a place of social gathering where people get together to have a good time in the evening after a hard day’s work and celebrate life. However today, Irish pubs are more or less like any other sports bar, with 15 flat screen LED TVs and no longer a community center. All that remains today of an Irish bar is the wood panelling and the Guinness. If you want the true Irish pub experience, it is better to visit Ireland itself.

Why Is There An Irish Pub Almost Everywhere On Earth?

Irish Pub

Ireland is famous for two things: bagpipes and drinking. Every major city has at least a few Irish pubs. They exist all over the United States of America and in most metropolitan cities in the world, almost like a McDonald’s or Coca Cola. There are Irish pubs all over the place from Seamus McCaffey’s at Phoenix, Arizona to The Grand Khan Irish Pub at Ulan Bator, Mongolia.

Dark

Some of the common features in Irish pubs are dark wood panels running around every inch of the place, a string music soundtrack with bagpipes obviously, maybe a Gaelic sign here and there, a framed picture of James Joyce and Guinness running from a tap. However, the Irish don’t exactly fancy Guinness they just want to drink. So this whole stereotyping of the Irish with Guiness is actually due to a partnership between the Irish Pub Company and Guiness. The Irish Pub company is a construction company that specializes in building Irish pubs all over the world. It was quite the clever partnership, because it provides the place with an Irish pub, with a lot of business to Guiness; establishing that the Irish in fact are one for Guiness. This ruled out competition like Ol Irish Pubs Ltd. and Love Irish Pubs; which is a shame because Love Irish Pubs offers sports memorabilia, musical instruments and whiskey jogs among other bar related stuff.

Irish Pub Company

The mastermind behind the Irish Pub Company was a Dublin architect by the name of Mel McNally. He started the Irish Pub Company in 1990 after studying the basic structural elements of bars in his hometown, assuming that the spike in tourism at that time in Ireland would increase the popularity of Irish style drinking establishments in other places as well. Guinness parent company Diageo, seeing the opportunity as the golden egg laying goose as it is, decided to partner with them to sell what they referred to as “The Irish Pub Concept”. Building their first Irish Pub in Moscow under the name Shannon’s, they went on to build at least 2000 pubs in Europe alone between 1992 and 1999. They kept expanding, reaching 53 countries, everywhere from Canada to Mexico to even Iraq.

McNally listed the major ingredients of an Irish Pub as authentic design, authentic Irish food, authentic Irish beverages, Irish music and entertainment, and employees and management trained in the ways of the Irish. They are also compelled to employ Irish people as the staff to make the people feel like they are in Ireland. The Irish pubs that are open now are mostly just like McDonald’s, all the good stuff has just been siphoned off, leaving behind a skeleton of the experience.

An introduction to the Irish pub culture

The social aspect is one of the major attractions of the country’s pub culture. The rural areas of the country comprised of three primary sources of recreation:

  • The church
  • Football club
  • Irish pubs for drinking

Until recent years, people of the land rarely drank at home, as social culture and social life was a crucial part of their lifestyle. The pubs in Ireland are known for their welcoming ambience, atmosphere and the quality of alcohol they serve. The warmth and friendliness of these cultures have spread to the entire world. In today’s world, it is impossible to find a country that does not boast an Irish pub/bar.

Irish Pub Bar Culture

Pint Drinking in Ireland

If you visit and Irish pub or bar and order  for a pint, then the bartender is either going to serve you with their finest black beer called the Guinness or a pint of stout. Murphys or Beamish are the most common names for these Stouts, and they’re much more frequent than the Guinness. While in England and other regions, you ask for a glass of beer, which is half a pint in Ireland.

One of the essential tips served by professionals is that the drink can only be enjoyed after it settles till the end unless you want to look like a novice Guinness drinker if you did not allow for it to settle. If you wish to take the Guinness, then better to visit Ireland and taste it as they maintain their authenticity.

Ordering a pint

Unless you’re ordering food along with your drinks, the barmen generally expect you to pay after the drink is served and for him to be tipped after every drink or every round of drink, to stay on his right side. Also, Irish people are reluctant to people showing off, so probably keep it a little subtle.

Pub culture experience in Irish pubs

Pub culture experience in Irish pubs

  • People in Ireland are not reluctant to chat with a stranger, and hence you can begin talking to the barman or the person right next to you.
  • Slagging is also a vital part of their pub culture. This, in layman terms, means, making fun of someone which can turn out to be too hilarious. If you’re a victim, then remember the intention is only to have fun and nothing personal.

If someone offers you a drink and you wish to decline, then say ‘Ah, no’, even if you’re dying to accept it. So, you may have to be offered the drink at least 3-4 times before buying. Strangely this is part of their drinking culture.

Bread Making

It is no brainer that bread making is one of the most crucial parts of any traditional Irish home. The people of Ireland also believe that it is also a meaningful part of any of the Irish households. In ancient times, a traditional Irish cottage kitchen baked this Irish bread on a daily basis. This recipe followed a conventional process of baking on large Girdles or on massive kettles that were generally baked directly on the fire.

One of the main ingredients for their seasoning was the caraway seed, which is still used in most parts of the world and majority in Ireland. It is a vegetal, spicy-green flavoured seed that is added to the bread. They’re added to provide a toothsome texture with the hint of savoury flavour.

According to the traditional Irish people, St. Patricks’ day is incomplete without serving the guests with a hot potato stew. In addition to the traditional stew, the potatoes are also one of the most significant additions to the traditional Irish foods. Potatoes were introduced to the land in the 1500s, and pretty soon, it became one of the main components of the country’s agricultural produce.

A traditional Irish potato stew is known for its rich, creamy flavour which blends well with the minimal seasonings like salt and pepper. But did you also know that there goes a ton of other seasonings that adds to its rich flavours. Some of the most important ones include:

  • Dill
  • Thyme

  • Fennel Seeds

The nuttiness from the dill seeds and the herbal flavour from the thyme add to the creaminess and starchiness from the potatoes. This is also another excellent option for all the non-meat eaters.

Any kind of meat in Irish is accompanied by good quality mustard, which is mostly in the homemade genre. The tangy flavoured spicy residue is the best combination with corned beef. The intensity of the flavours from mustard seeds, prepared from scratch elevates the density of the meant.

Mustard is also otherwise called a poor man’s pepper. Since they’re grown in Ireland, it is highly affordable for the natives of the region. It can be used in dry form to preserve liquids like wine, fine ale. It is one of the most Irish versions of storing drinks.

Pubs

Patience is the key for Guinness

The drink is poured in two different stages, and it needs to settle down ultimately, which takes about a minute or two. So, if you order a pint of this drink in the bar, then the barman will fill your glass until half full and move on to something else. Don’t gulp your drink but wait for him to return and complete the drink. Once finished filling your glass, please wait for a minute so that it amalgams with the first drink and then begin to savour it.

Getting a bartender’s attention

Irish pubs and bars are generally crowded considering the fun and alcohol friendly people that they are. Hence, you have to wait for a couple of minutes for the bartender to process your order. Get started from getting close to the barman as much as possible. If you still don’t get his attention, lift your pointing finger. Sticking money in the air to get his attention is the last thing you want to do, as it is considered disrespectful.

Drinking isn’t a race

In countries like North America, drinking and getting high is considered a race- especially among young teens. However, the opposite is followed in Irish pubs – it isn’t a race, and it is imperative to drink slowly. Social drinking is one of the critical skills that ought to be maintained in the place.
