Disagree. Plus when do you get a decently poured pint? It's gotten worse since the extra cold shite got pushed, the 'Art' of pulling pints was lost @ 2000, earlier in the Central belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Anyhoo. Guinness is a *** drink. Arfur called it a Protestant Porter (plus he set up the Ludge in Dublin). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still get a very decently pulled pint in Dublin although maybe not all that convenient for everyone. I agree with you on extra cold shite.

The main issue with Guinness specifically is with the brewery changing it almost beyond recognition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The bottles of Guinness “export” @ 7% ABV (or thereabouts) were the best.Those days are gone now of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "Guinness Surger" sounds like it should be defined in Roger's Profanisaurus as what you experience the morning after drinking Irish stout the night before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
