Arthur’s spirit alive for stout-fest

WATERING holes across the country are gearing up for a stout-fest on Arthur’s Day tomorrow but one Tipperary pub is going to more effort than most.

Known for its elaborate Hallowe’en and St Patrick’s Day themes, Lonergan’s pub in Fethard has gone all-out to celebrate the Guinness feast day.

The popular bar is just 16 kilometres away from historic Cashel, which can claim strong links to the start of the Guinness brewing business and the famous drinks dynasty.
