It's very rare to get a decent pint of Guinness in Blighty.
In my experience the sign of a good pub is that the first pint of Guinness of the night is thrown down the sink - and the bar staff actually know how to pull a pint of porter properly i.e. the second part should be a "push pour".
I'm thirsty.
Original Guiness in cans is fine for flavour but a little gassy.
Draught Guinness in cans, erm ......okay, passes for Diesel.
In my 'umble opinion, of course
;o)
UK bar staff haven't got time for two part pours. After all, it's only £3 odd quid a pint. Just knock it out any old how and there will be plenty to throw down the sink!
That was a much more eloquent way of how i would describe my only experience of Guinness in England.
Anyway I love the stout but cant for the life of me see why anyone touches the black piss that they serve over there when you consider the myriad of fantastic ales that you guys have... yum.
SOoo thirsty now.
Apart from the "real" Guiness, you must have decent traditional ales too - care to enlighten us?
The average array of taps in a pub is: Guinness (yum), Smithwicks (the one Irish Ale that's widely available), Budweiser, Carlsberg, Heiniken, Bavaria, and maybe Beck Vier or Paulaner or something. If your in the south of the country there's (or there used to be) a nice one called Killkenny which is a nice half Guinness half ale type.
There is no culture of beer brewing here at all, there are a few small breweries but there are probably more breweries in any of the counties of England than there are in all of Ireland.
The majority of people here drink draught lager. Booo
Me? Beer snob? maybe.
Beer snob? Be proud of it!
If we didn't say our piece, there would be no beer brewed to drink.
Just pissy gassy lager.
;o)
Took me just one single minute to find this. Check it out now, as the song goes:
Linky thingy: Proper Irish beer
There's a place called the Porterhouse as well that has it's own brews which is nice.
Oddly enough the town I live in had Irelands first International beer festival on the weekend and there were bottled beers from all over europe for a nice treat.
There was also an Irish ale from a Roscommon Brewery that they named after some local ancient king but twas rubbidge!
The best Guinness you could get in London was in that Waxy place with the tree growing through the middle of it. You walked in and they already had a row of part pulled pints ready to be topped up when you ordered.
But I'm going back a fair few years & it may have changed or not even be there anymore
Guinness is best drank at home...........in Ireland!!!!
Your tellin me! I have black poos every Saturday. LOL

That's a load of cobblers.
I can't taste any difference when I got to Dublin.
I do not have a drink problem!
All brewed in Dublin now...
and its not €6.50 per pint over here!!
What about Murphys as well?
I find the lager over there so much stronger, just a normal strengh one and im gurning after 3.
Was asked a few years back to go and audit a Fit Out of Esso Irelands new offices. Told friends over in Ireland i was coming. Was looking forward to a good Ye-Ha. Then was told i had one day to do the audit ,FFS one Day and report back next day to the Regional FM for Europe and Middle East ---------------BASTARDS. All i saw was the old office,the new office in Leopards Town and the airport. Had just enough time to neck a Gunniess at Dublin airport before last flight back,and to be honest as long as it was abeer was all i cared about in the end.
It's not cobblers, the quality of the Guiness varies from pub to pub.
But there are plenty of bars here who serve rubbish Guinness.
It's all brewed in Dublin now and the product is probably the same in the british isles, it's how it's treated that makes the difference.
Also there's the "export" brand Guinness as well... for the african market, this is basically asphalt.
The quality of beer always varies from pub to pub - lots of factors, whether the pipes are regularly cleaned, the first pint of the day poured away, is there a cellar or what cooling devices are used, for example.
Apart from whether beer is processed and served under gas pressure - or is traditionally brewed, kept properly, and served from cask or pump ......... the landlord, etc is the prime factor.
he was a confident bloke then
Guinness makes you live longer .....
£45 per year, however he didn't sign the lease on 24th Sept, it was on 31st Dec.
D
I've had a tooth extracted today, and because I've got stitches in the hole, I can't bleedin' drink.
And so I'm missing Guinness night. Grrrr!
PS: Never mind, I'll just have to go to the next one ..... roll on the year 2259 .......
I thought that only happened when you laughed too hard.
Shall I elucidate .... ?
Or does it needle you that my stitches belong to another, erm .... thread.
Okay, coat .........
