Not beer.
Well in all fairness the paramilitaries were nicknamed after the drink (half pale ale, half stout) and not the other way around.
In fact it's a somewhat popular drink in Ireland despite the connotations.
I freely concede it's a couple orders of magnitude more common among Irish-Americans who don't know their history, but that doesn't mean you don't see a few getting sold in Dublin to non-tourists. Interestingly after the 20's Irish pubgoers gradually replaced the traditional Bass-Guinness recipe (representing how Irish and Brits don't mix) with Harp's-Guinness to make a point, rather than abandoning the drink altogether.
