The Guinness in Ireland is usually very different from the Guinness you get in the States or the rest of Europe. Apparently Australia does good Guinness in places.
Dublin (Ireland's capital city) has so many pubs offering great Guinness but most of them serve to Tourists and/or the weekend crowds so it's more about serving up quantity rather than quality. Guinness in a busy bar or club on a saturday night is slop, it'll will be rushed, not allowed to settle and very overpriced. What you need to do is to find a small and quiet "old man" type pub where the customers are all regulars and all locals. Galway/Donegal/Kerry will all have these kinds of pubs. But you will get odd looks from the regulars if they don't know you. The keg needs to be within a short pipe-distance to the taps, ideally directly beneath the taps, and the taps have to be cleaned in a certain way afaik. And the barman needs to know what the fúck he's doing. This is paramount. |

[ QUOTE ] Also, let's not forget about black and tans, half guiness, half harp. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, that is called a "half and half". Black and Tan is Bass Ale on Bottom, Guinness on top. I drink Black and Tans regularly and one of my pet peaves is upon ordering when the server asks whether I want that with Bass or Harp. [/ QUOTE ] This is incorrect.A true back and tan is Guinness and Harp,both Irish beers.The Bass version is an American thing. |
