journey_man 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Why does it taste so much better in Dublin? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Probably a mix of a) you knowing you're in Dublin and no tampering with it, the real deal. I believe Liverpool has good Guinness too. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It would be a sin for a foriengner to drink anything else whilst in Dublin. I remember having half a dozen pints of Guiness on the ferry from Holyhead. Funny thing was, everyone in Dublin was as sozzled as me when I got there. Link to post Share on other sites
yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It is beautiful. Not as keen on the taste! Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I love a good pint of Guinness. It's not just beer, it's like in it's own league. I used to drink a pint before I got onto the bitters when I was at college. Always a good start to a night out. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I like Guinness too, never been to Ireland but had many a good pint. Started drinking it in Australia, could it be any further from Ireland?? The thing I want to know is, DOES it taste any better in Ireland or is it all in yur head? Buying into the "real deal" myth or do they have some Irish tomfoolery over there to make it lip smackingly great? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well TB I certainly have had a BAD pint of Guinness. In London. The reason for that, I do not know. for Guinness though. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Guinness is fantastic. A meal in itself sometimes. Been told by a bar owner that it has to be cooled to a certain temp. Too cold and it loses it's taste. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 and after years of study, they now know why the Guinness bubbles go downwards Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Quote: Too cold and it loses it's taste. Isn't there some "extra cold" Guinness on tap in places? Got to admit I like it really cold. Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Cold? Definitely. Warm guinness is worse than (too) warm bitter. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 NOT FREAKIN WARM just not so cold that your wedding tackle freezes. Too cold, lose the taste sensations in the nose. Yes, you taste with the nose too, it's the aroma. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 and look at the top pic. Where is the clover?? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sorry, the clover shape is more cheese than Guinness. I would not want to have a Guinness with a clover shape in the top. It's just not right. Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Easy tiger! Cheeseman might have something to say about that! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 yeah, and if you go to the Guinness factory at St. James gate, they pour the pint with the clover. Saw it on Pilot Guide TV show. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 That should not be allowed! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I agree, the smooth top is all part of it don't want no cheesy clover. Link to post Share on other sites
