No Guinness For Her, Please, She's The Queen
Oh, the heavy burden that comes to those who wear the crown.You can't even enjoy a perfectly poured pint.During a tour of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin today, "master brewer Fergal Murray expertly prepared a pint" of the famous stout for Queen Elizabeth, The Associated Press reports.She declined to take a sip. Perhaps because it was before noon?Prince Philip, the AP adds, "gazed at the brew with obvious longing but also walked away without a taste."The video is well worth watching.
