Can someone explain to me how each Guinness is any different? I thought they were all brewed the same so how does it make sense to review different pints?
pints vary quite a lot, if you dont mind the taste its about the glass, the condensation, temperature, the amount of head. the pint itself can be quite watery or taste like its been sitting in a dirty puddle for way too long.
And you'll notice this if you have a few Guinness at different pubs and bars. If it's a serious pub who knows what they're doing they'll have creamy, dark, rich, roasted Guinness on tap. Any old bar and it'll taste like it's been cut with water and left to sit for a month. It's like the difference between getting a Coke in a glass bottle and the Coke you get from the dispenser in a cinema or at McDonald's

It's mad to me you've never had Beamish. To me, it's vastly superior to Guinness, and way older as well. But sadly very few pubs still pull pints of it, it's mostly relegated to cans. They do exist though. Given how anti-Irish Arthur Guinness was, it's a shame his stout took the lead over Beamish as an icon of this island.
@@paul479 There was no Home Rule movement during Arthur Guinness's time. He was a supporter of Henry Grattan, however, and would have been involved to some extent with the Volunteers of the late 1770s.
I think you need to clear your head of any misconceptions you may have about new beers you're tasting. Judging by the look on your face it sounded like you were talking yourself out of liking it before you tried it. They'll be those that will like it over Guinness, one man's tiple isn't always another man's fancy. As someone has mentioned, maybe keep a different tally for 'other' stouts?
Yeh if you can get over the roasted coffee flavours... the taste of a decent stout.. if you can get over that you might be able to drink it.. Sounds good to me
I have tryed guiness so many times tap, can, bottle you name it. But the best i ever had was one at a German pub close to the Denmark/Germany border it makes canned guiness taste like garbage.
Pure genius if you ask me....set up a you tube site tasting guiness (which all tastes the f in same anywhere you go) set off all over ireland get site sponsored and drink for f ing free...Only in Ireland - give this man a medal ....
Yeah I was thinking that the greatest ideas are always the simplest ones. Every one will be setting up you tube channels now for free pints and sponsorship. All guinness does not taste the same though. Depends on the pipes of the pub etc.

Why can't a new pub with no expense spared have a pint of Guinness like the Grave Diggers, it can't be that difficult. That pint seemed a bit too cold to me and too cold means the pint will lack body.

Oh Andy, you could do a thesis on this. Varies hugely and everyone liked it slightly different.
Depends on how clean the lines glasses are and da way it’s poured there can be a huge difference between pubs
