What Is Pints and Power?

It's not about the pint. Not really. Pints and Power is about what Guinness has been all along: a force.

Pints and Power is a book in progress — part cultural memoir, part reflection on how a pint of Guinness became something more than just a drink.

It’s about the stories that only surface in the pub. The quiet moments between pours. The way a pint can carry memory, identity, exile, pride — even resistance.

It started with a visit to Ireland and a pint that didn’t just taste different — it meant something. Since then, it’s grown into something I didn’t expect: a search for the meaning beneath the foam, and the people who live in that story every day.

This site is where I’ll share updates, behind-the-scenes moments, excerpts, and reflections along the way.

Some posts will read like pub stories. Some will feel like pages from a journal. All of it will be poured with care.

If the pint has ever felt too heavy, you’re not alone.
There’s strength in asking for help, and there’s no story that disqualifies you from healing.
