It don't matter where its brewed its all the same stuff, using the same ingredients and recipe, so what does it matter?

[Resurrection]

Andy it DOES taste different.

Even if it is all in your head.

I won't touch it here but off that boat and it's a pint of the black stuff for me.

It is in your head, I used to talk to a guinness rep quite regularly when i was a manager at that pub in edgeley, its all the same.

Its the same as when people bring back cans of stella from Lueven (or however you spell it) in Belgium, and say its better. Its the same beer just made in a different building.

It's all intended the same, but the way they brew it is differing in the other brewers. They don't all use the exact amount, and the differences in amounts used will affect taste in it's eventuality.

Maybe their staff that are paid in euro are happyier that they dont have national insurance taxes etc. ( i think)

Plus thats a big tourist attraction in dublin they will be loosing tourists. But theres plenty of imagrants now to keep them going.

Location makes a massive difference, im not a massive expert but variations in water, equipment and key ingredients from site to site can make a massive difference.

Carlsberg brewed in copenhagen is far far superior to the crap brewed over here in leeds!

Diageo won't I repeat won't be allowed to close St James Gate, there will be demonstrations before that happens and possible collapse of the brand if they did.

Oh and it DOES taste different where it is brewed, Park Royal Guinness (brewed up until 2005 in London) tasted more bitter than Dublin brew due to the different water used, although they did try their best to emulate it.

Being shaken will not affect it, hence the dray men lob barrels all over the place.

The gas is added after the barrel is connected to the tab, just before it reaches the fobber then through the lines to our waiting pint pots.

[thegubner]

proper draught guinnes has two pipes connected to the tap on the barrel, one takes beer away, the other adds gas.

Hence pubs needing gas, the gas is different to that of lagers, but it is still gas, and it is still added at the barrel.

I hate when the head is knocked off. It seems to be a speciality in Birmingham (to knock it off), if not elsewhere.

I like a good bit of froth on top just to chomp off.. its like a preparation for the pint. I can't explain it

And for the different taste, yeah... Each drink brewed in a different place tastes different. Just like Big Macs I guess.
I had a Big Mac meal in Belgrade (and throughout lots of Europe ) and it just wasn't the same.

Edit: Guv, you know your Guiness lol!

[thegubner]

Used to be a manager at a pub, spent a lot of time buttering up reps for the landlord.

Who cares? it tastes like elton john's shitty spam dagger and turns you poo black. If it did disapear, i woulnd't miss it

The little bottles of CO2 YES, not the fooking massive bottles of gas that mix with the drink.

I think it is nitrogen but I may be wrong.
