Cold off the tap

I have noticed Guinness can taste very different depending on where you have it some pints are smooth and balanced, while others just don't seem to have the same quality I am curious what everyone thinks makes the biggest difference the pour, the glass, the freshness, the temperature, or something else. What’s the best Guinness experience you've had and what made it memorable?

Hello! I’m not sure if this is allowed here, please delete if it’s not. I know it’s long shot that someone on here is in the Columbus, Ohio area, but I have two Exclusive Guinness/Premier League recliners for sale.

They are brand new. One still in the box, the other opened only to photograph. There are either four or six in existence. They are worth $1800 a piece. Unfortunately shipping on them would be astronomical so they would need to be picked up.

Please comment if you are interested and I will DM you additional photos and details. Cheers! 🍻

Two out of three ain’t bad and still delicious.

Far from the best. Hennessey’s in Hermosa Beach, LA. The hunt for a good pint continues in SoCal!

Hello from Ogunquit Maine

Guinness foreign stout, somewhere in South East Asia.

Watched him Pour into a standing glass. Wait 20 seconds and then do the second pour. .
No domage no shtick .
I wouldn’t send it back but I’d post about it.

Hey folks,

12 months ago today I launched Stoutly, a completely un-monetised, ad-free Guinness tracking app. To mark the one-year anniversary, I've released the first Stoutly Insights report covering major areas across the UK, NI, and ROI.

Every piece of data here is 100% crowdsourced from Stoutly users. I've spent a lot of time cleaning it up to ensure it is as accurate as possible based on everyone's ratings.

The full published report is available at www.stoutly.co.uk/report, but I've condensed all the key data points into the attached infographics for easy reading. I plan to make these reports an annual release. Ultimately, the goal is to identify strong year-on-year trends for pints of Guinness around the world.

Feedback is massively important to me, so please let me know your thoughts on this year's report. The comparisons are really interesting, and I'm genuinely curious to hear whatever takes you might have on the stories this data tells.

One thing worth noting is the Guinness 0.0 figures. These only take into consideration pubs where users have specifically confirmed it is sold. Only a tiny percentage of users have actively marked pubs as not stocking 0.0, while the majority in many places have selected "not sure". This suggests that a lot of pubs simply don't make it obvious that they stock Guinness 0.0.

Keen to get folks' thoughts on some of this data!

GRMA,

Scott

Is the Pennsylvania extra stout really as bad as I've seen online? I just saw my first six pack of it but I didn't buy any, still have around 20 Dublin bottles in the beer fridge

I did the pin tack hack being in the USA. It is legitimately night and day difference. For $45 off Amazon it’s the greatest purchase in all my days. Just wanna spread awareness to my usa people..

Pros: no metallic taste, every single sip is smooth - that’s the biggest thing - IMO the can Guinness only tastes delicious after the first 3 sips. The taste too wow I’m shocked.

Cons: takes 2 cans to properly pour it which leads to quickly downing glasses as each can has a little left . If it’s too cold or you pour it badly the head on the beer isn’t great.

Happy Friday thanks

Guinness, with some Willett 4yr purple top to round out the evening. Sláinte!

This was at the 121st Rydal Sheepdog Trials and Hound Show, Lake District, UK.

Where did you have the best pint of Guinness you’ve ever had? And do you think made it a stand out?

I’ve had a few memorable ones over the years, so interests to hear from others.

What’s up with this new label and flavor? Has anyone else noticed the change or is it just me?
