Blackbriar 8,569 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I wish I could afford 10 pints of beer ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I haven't drank a pint of Guinness in over 2 years but the last time I did I drank nearly 30 pints of the stuff. LOL, maybe it's just as well I don't drink it too often. I feel sorry for you lads in Britain because I don't think ye have ever tasted proper stout, unless you've been to Ireland of course. I used to drink with a man who drank 30 pints a day, I kid you not. I feel sorry that you believe draught Guinness is proper stout. You ever had a pint of it from the tap in its native Ireland? Totally different from the stuff we get here.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know what your saying Shepp, I have a brother who'll only drink craft beers and at this stage he has given me some proper stoutes and ales but I have to say I prefare a nice pint of the black stuff to any of them. There's a big difference in a pint of good Guinness in Ireland to a pint of what they call Guinness in Britain. Besides, when I used to drink Guinness from the high stool it was often the pint bottle I went for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marshman 7,758 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Couldn't drink 10 pints of anything I think , the occasional pint of cider once in a blue moon almost teetotal really . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yes. At a music festival a couple of years ago. Lager was nearly £5 a pint and Guiness was £3. No brainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David K 172 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) All draught is brewed in Dublin now. Its as good in hereford as it is there. Although the atmosphere won't be lol. I think they make original and specials in some African country .That's correct, it is all sent over in tankers I believe. The Guinness brewed in the UK goes for bottling or export. Guinness is an the ultimate advertising success story, take a pretty average stout, pump millions into advertising, sponsorship, get Ireland and the Irish to promote it for you and then you have a worldwide business. Paddywackery at its finest. Saying that, if there is nothing else on tap in the pub more interesting and tasty I'll drink a few Guinness's, but it would cost around the 50 mark in most Irish pubs for ten pints! I will stick to my home brew, I can make a tasty stout to my own recipe for less than a Euro a pint. Edited May 13, 2015 by David K 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I disagree that a pint is the same no matter where. A pint of guinness should be poured into a straight glass, in the UK they serve them in the same glasses as lager or cider. A barman once told me that in the UK the gas is in the keg whereas in Ireland the gas is put into the pint half way between the keg and the glass, hence the reason that a British barman pulls your pint and gives it straight to you, in Ireland the barman pulls the pint and after a few minutes tops it up and gives it to you. One of the best pubs I know for a pint (Fatman and Dillydog of here drank enough of them a few times in it) the owner would be standing over your pint and when you asked for it he'd look at it and say "it's not ready". A proper Guinness connoisseur. LOL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
