During the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan offered a toast to the Irish.
Raising a pint of pre-poured Guinness, Ryan said, “To what our forefathers have started and our children will continue, may the light always shine upon them. Sláinte.”
While the sentiment was lovely, no doubt, it was the beer itself that had people buzzing. And not in a good way.
As Guinness enthusiasts know, a proper pour of Guinness should always be topped with a thick, creamy foam.
Ryan’s lackluster pint was definitely not up to par. The BBC even dubbed it “the worst pint of Guinness imaginable.”

The pint's shadow is so embarrassed at how flat and useless it is, it's hidden itself. #StPatricksDay @NaomiOhReally #pintgate pic.twitter.com/IR5JY8REH2

Not sure about Pence, but Ryan has definitely given up any chances to be allowed to enter Ireland ever again... https://t.co/1oZxCU83fh

@NaomiOhReally On behalf of my countrymen and women, We're sorry.
If it's any consolation, Mr Ryan's political career is likely ending soon— Daniel Norman (@DreamingInCode) March 16, 2017
