Don’t be misled by the title, this post isn’t about golf courses. I’m giving credit to some other sites out there that put out quality information about things of the Irish persuasion.
www.irishwhiskeyblog.com
This is a good site written by Irish whiskey enthusiast Rich Nagle. Rich has apparently sampled, and written about, every Irish whiskey brand known to man. He posted about a recent trip to Ireland where he got to try some of the more exotic stuff that you can’t find in the States. If he keeps the pace up, he’ll run out of Irish whiskey to try and will be reduced to prowling Ireland’s backwaters doing tastings of illicit poteen.

This is an Ireland-based site that is also devoted to the uisce beatha. Because this site is based on the old sod, they have access to more stuff than what we have here. Reading this site will make you create a bucket list of obscure whiskey to try if you ever get yourself over to the Emerald Isle.

A group of whiskey enthusiasts in Ireland created a society dedicated to, well, what else? This isn’t just some casual collection of whiskey drinkers meeting for the occasional dram; these people mean business. Their organization has: a written constitution, an elected executive board, a schedule of events, and a chat forum. This is a good source of information for what’s new in the Irish whiskey world.

The name seems self-explanatory, but the site is really devoted to Boston Irish-American culture in general, not just pubs. The pub section isn’t that informative, it’s just a collection of links, but it’s better than nothing. It’s a useful guide to Irish stuff in America’s most Irish city.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians is one of America’s oldest Irish organizations. It is an Irish-Catholic fraternal organization devoted to charity work and Irish fellowship. Their site is full of interesting links and information about the Irish. They also have divisions in every state if you are interested in joining.
