My mate's girlfriend drank Guiness and Tia Maria.The only Guinness a lady should drink is with blackcurrant in it.
She was as mad as a box of frogs tho, dangerously so, so it's no recommendation
Really? I know an Irishman who would lose the plot at the mere suggestion of that. He has to see it poured or he won't drink it. He didn't even like it when I bought him one five minutes before he arrived at the pub on a matchday once.
Seen a similar attitude,but have seen it done in Dublin. The pub we were in employed a barman whose only job was part filling glasses with Guinness. To be fair,it was so buy they were standing around too long.
Up untill recently guinness had a brewery in Park Royal so all guinness in england was brewed in london. They sold the site which was massive now all guinness is brewed in ireland. So pub bores going on about how the guinness is better in Ireland have less to stand on. (guinness in ireland usually taste better because you're on holiday and the pub is part of the experience much like holiday wine that doesn't taste half as good in rainy london without a harbour view) Guiness could be subject to tarrifs after the transition period if the uk does not sort out a free trade deal.
I agree with the taste. I think years ago,the only thing was you were guaranteed a decent pint over there. But in the last 20plus years the quality of Guinness has improved no end in most pubs.
Don't know what his problem is, but every Guinness drinker I know prefer this method. Apparently Guinness has an "Optimum" time when it comes to settling. Just leaving 3/4s in a glass whilst waiting for another drink, ie Lager would not be enough time for the settle.
Any self respecting Guinness drinker who understood the physics of the perfect pour would embrace the idea of walking into a pub/club and having a pint pretty much ready to drink, especially in a busy establishment.
It has the added bonus of working for non Guinness drinkers also.
We don't have to wait around for years to order our humble lager or any other drink come to think of it.
As an aside, most of the Guinness lovers I know are not Irish, however, pretty much all of my Mums side of the family are, most of them wouldn't be able to know the difference as to what they are drinking by about 7pm anyway, just saying.
Did you know....
Although Guinness is brewed in 49 countries and sold in 150, Guinness itself owns five breweries worldwide, including St. James Gate in Dublin. One is in Malaysia, and the rest are in Africa, specifically in Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon. In fact, Nigeria and Cameroon are among the top five markets for Guinness in the world.
However, the Guinness variant popular in Ireland, the UK and the U.S. is not the popular one in Africa, where they prefer the Guinness Extra Foreign Stout, a variant with a much higher alcohol content (7.5%) than the draft (around 4.0%).

Shouldn't watching Spurs at the Lane be a better experience than watching it on TV then? It very rarely is.

It’s in cans. At least in the Tap Inn.
I didn't know that.
You learn a new thing everyday
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
I hope it's not extra cold. I hate that stuff, it loses all flavour.
That's where my mum and dad met haha, they both worked there back in the day.
The park royal brewery use to have its own small herd of cows.
Yes, Tara Browne - it's referred to in the Beatles' song: "A Day in the Life"
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
Well spotted.
