Beers
Murphy's Stout
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Murphy's Irish Stout is a dry stout, brewed to be less bitter than its chief competitor, Guinness.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> It is sometimes described as having a slightly nutty flavour, with "coffee undertones".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The manufacturers had a television advertising campaign in the 1990s which played on Murphy's positioning as less bitter than its competitors, in which the strapline was "like the Murphy's, I'm not bitter".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Irish Red
In 1983, after the Murphy's brand was bought by Dutch brewer Heineken International, "Irish Red" was launched for the export market, as it was hoped that it would be more popular than stout overseas.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
