Both are owned by Heineken. Both taste of very little and both have used the “Bitter” theme in their advertising.

The truth is out there folks, I’m off to claim asylum in the Guinness storehouse, the one place the bastards can’t get me.

This is it
There’s a difference, islands edge is shit and Murphy’s is good
But seriously, islands edge has that awful dry aftertaste, Murphy’s is less dry and has a dark chocolate edge to it.
Hey now, Murphys is nice
The only good thing to come out of cork is the road to Dublin so Im not surprised.
Irelands edge is unexpectedly refreshing while I am led to believe Murphys is not
guinness is a prod stout
Guinness is the protestant porter , Murphys is mother’s milk and islands edge is a gimmick
Have you never had Murphy’s?
Islands Edge will be gone by June.
It’s Beamish lite. Literally, they even advertise it that way. Less bitter, etc.
Mildly roasted flavour, absolute no finish. Nothing. And it’s a bit watery. No mouth feel to it.
Murphy’s is smooth an velvety, with a rich flavour.
atleast they got rid of that gammy glass
Tis no Beamish…
They are trying to push it something serious, that ad is on constantly!
They’re nothing alike in my opinion. Murphy’s is creamy and chocolaty. Islands Edge is more watery and has tea-like flavours.
Islands edge tastes like watery burnt plastic and don’t you dare compare it to the creamy majesty that is Murphy’s!!!
Get the fuck outta here
