Guinness & blackcurrant

Some of the worst pints of Guinness i get are in Ireland.

 

and where would that be mate

 

A pint of Guinness should be served in a slightly tulip shaped pint glass (as opposed to the taller European tulip glass or 'Nonic' glass, which contains a ridge approx 3/4 of the way up the glass). On the way to the tap, the beer is passed through a chiller and is forced through a five-hole disc restrictor plate in the end of the tap, which increases the fluid pressure and friction, forcing the creation of small bubbles which form a creamy head. The glass is then rested until the initial pour settles, and the remainder of the glass is then filled with a slow pour until the head forms a slight dome over the top of the glass

 

Worst one was in Kerry,Paidi o Se owned the pub,* disgusting.

Guinness in the hotel in newry can be bad at times also.

 

used to occasionally stick a can of red bull when i was down to a half pint left if i was tired after work. nowhere near as nice as guinness but best way to drink red bull i've found yet.

 

What do yous prefer Guinness from a can or bottle?

I think every drink tastes better from a bottle than a can except Guinness. Think the cans are far better and taste much smoother.

 

Guiness wi a shot of tia maria is good, but pricey in the pub

 

Definitely cans.

 

Guinness and Morgans combo

 

My wife like's guinness and lime she say's it takes the edge off it but not over power the taste.

 

I'd love to like Guinness but it just doesn't agree with me. Too heavy, can barely manage a pint lol

 

black toalie syndrom:icon_mrgreen: I drink it once a year

 

Guinness and blackcurrant is blasphemy

 

Not a guiness drinker but i tried it with blackcurrent after someone ordered it in a pub i used to work in. I'd never heard of it before then. Definitley improves it for me but i can't drink much of it at all. Too heavy.

 

Guinness with blackcurrant is a drink I've only ever seen old women have

I'd never dream of spoiling my pint in such a fashion

 

I have had it with black before, wouldn't do it again, it's just wrong.

 

Yes, agree with you on this!

Only ever had it once though, Morgans is so fvcking expensive though.

 

* that, ruining perfectly good blackcurrant by mixing it with Guinness. Yuck.

 

I'm glad a thread like this has come up. The forum seems very macho, and it's nice to gay things up a little.
