I understand you're from Ireland. I'm curious how you came here (USA) and how you got hooked on the BW? Would you mind indulging us?

It's quite simple really and not all that exciting. I came here on a plane and got hooked on the BW because it fit my soul - just the same way it hooked the rest of you addicts.
That's the short version :)" Good answer.

Does Ireland have good canoeing inland? How old were you when you came here? What's your favorite beer? I'm a guinness lover.

Ireland doesn't have much in the way of canoeing - inland or otherwise. At least not the way BWCA and The Q exist. There are lakes of course but tend to be isolated from one another - portages would be days long so they're suited best for day paddles. There are also rivers and a few do canoe them. There are beginning to be more kayaks (though we call them canoes too) but the seas can be quite rough. I've heard of a few people kayaking around the whole of Ireland. Everyone thought they were mad.
I love Guinness too - though I drink less of it here. It's just not the same milkshake here as it is back in Ireland. Beamish, Murphy's, Smithwicks, all good. I tend to drink more of the american microbrews here because, well, why wouldn't I?
