Have you ever overpaid for a beer? Matt Cortland has, and it set him on a path to never repeat the mistake. That is, for Cortland’s drink of choice: a pint of Guinness. After paying €7.80 (about $8.93) for Irish dry stout at a pub in Dublin earlier this month, the 37-year-old grew curious about the average cost of a pint across Ireland.
