Thirsty work all this beach malarkey…
A really tasty little Ichnusa Non Filtrato does the job.

I had one of those just the other day at an Italian restaurant in Cork. Quite good with alongside a tasty pasta ragu.

Rather than Temple Bar, which, yes, completely agree, is an overpriced tourist trap, might I recommend, instead, two other genuinely authentic - and very atmospheric - city centre pubs in Dublin:

Mulligan's on Poolbeg St, and Peter Neary's in Chatham St, both of them within easy walking distance of where you currently are (or were).
Walked by Neary's earlier on, but didn't go in.

But now we've sat down on Mulligan's. It's in kind of a backstreet, but nice, quiet (for a pub) and cool (it's not a heatwave here in Dublin, yet, but hot enough).

And they had a quite nice new (to me) red ale on tap: O'Hara's Irish Red. Nice and smooth.

O'Hara's is a very nice red ale, and - unlike some of the noisy tourist traps you have already frequented - Mulligan's is an authentic, atmospheric and wholly genuine Dublin pub.

I would also recommend The Duke (on Duke St, off Dawson St) - another genuine and atmospheric city centre pub.

Anyway, do enjoy.

On holiday in the ever so beautiful Saarland region in Germany. Of course I had to sample the local brewer.

Also went to Trier again and bought some Moselfeuer liquor

Just because I'm a big fan of it and because I've spent another holiday a few years ago in the town this is produced.

Nothing fancy, just a simple lager on a Friday night. And yes, that is ice. I live in Vietnam, it’s how we do it here (and I wouldn’t go back to beer without ice!).
Sapporo is an excellent beer with Asian food, and nice to sip and relax with.

For my part, I've never had ice in beer (though I can well imagine that in a hot, humid climate it makes perfect sense) but I do wonder - as someone who used to be served Weissbier with slices of lemon years ago in Germany, - how that beer might taste if someone added a few slices of lemon to it?

I imagine it would have tasted wonderful. Alas, I’ve finished it all off. Next time I shall give it a go, might also try with a slice of lime as seems popular here with beer.

I'd imagine similar to a radler ;)

Oh! I've assumed this was a common thing outside of Germany and the Netherlands! It's beer mixed with lemon juice. It's often around 2-3% in alcohol and is perfect as a refreshment after a warm day of cycling (hence the name)
Ah, thank you kindly for your explanation; I hadn't known that.

Personally, I love lemons, and, as is probably clear from some of my posts on this very forum, I am more than partial to beer, - so, this - a combination of the two in light lager style beers - strikes me as an excellent idea.
