How long have you been collecting Mike?
Ever since I got back from Ireland in 2002.
What made you start collecting Guinness memorabilia?
I have always had beer on tap at my house, now I have Guinness! I have completely gutted my fridge for the nitrogen and European parts for Guinness.
What is the popularity of Guinness where you live?
There are billboards all over the place. Guinness only has 125 calories etc...I never noticed this much advertisement till we returned from Ireland in 2002.
Do you have contact with other collectors of Guinntiques?
No, but would like to. I have my own pub downstairs with many Guinness collectables that I have purchased. Schedule magnet, neon Guinness sign, two inflatable tucans hanging from the ceiling and the Guinness gives you strength poster. I am in the market for the Guinness sign that lights up and hangs from a wall.
Describe your local pub details and nightlife.
Other than my own pub at my house, we travel across the river to Claddagh's Irish Pub. I love the atmosphere, it reminds me of Ireland. I have also ate an Irish breakfast there one morning.
Are Guinness promotions run in these establishments?
Promotions are run on the holidays. I am always asking for a hand out for my bar. I have collected a couple items from Irish pubs when they realize that I have Guinness on tap at my house.
Please describe your own collection.
Posters, Keg with new tap handle, Calendar with magnet, Guinness neon sign, coffee mug, coasters, two tucan birds hanging from the ceiling.
Additional Info.
I love Guinness and love to show off my own Guinness pub in my house. If you are ever in Cincinnati, plan on stopping over for a pint of strength. I build a great Guinness!
Thanks very much Mike.
