Comment on Best Stout in Ireland by beershine

For the record, I rated Celebration and Whitewater Belfast Black the same, both 4.0. All those mentioned were impressive, and most are highly sessionable too.

Comment on Best Guinness? by wpv319

Very interesting topic, because this so called search for the better Guinness is embedded within every serious Guinness drinker. Is there a better Guinness, draft, can, and or bottle?? And if so, where? I have had Guinness in both Scotland and Belfast and seen little difference, although the canned version in Scotland raised an eyebrow. Believe it or not and as irrelevant as it should be, my best tasting Guinness on draft was at “Jack’s Tavern” in Belmar, NJ. I’ve only been there twice, but raised my glass on both occasions. In closing, I feel terribly sorry for ALL you folks still drinking that commercially brewed garbage. Craft and Stout beers are the ancient “nectar of the gods” that will put hair on any man’s chest. In some cases, maybe a woman’s too. Enjoy!

Nice piece.

I agree that having had an average of 1.8 drinks per head is clearly not enough preparation to judge good Guinness. Also, good on you for pointing out that this pretty ordinary beverage does tend to taste better in Malaysia. The best bottle of Hoegaarden Grand Cru I ever tasted was in a shopping precinct in KL, it being relatively the best beer I had tasted in a fortnight. I have this theory that Guinness tastes better in Ireland because most of the rest of the beer there is so shoit.

I find this topic very interesting. Guinness is a very special beer. I used to think the closer you were to the brewery the better the Guinness. This was backed up by the old London brewery. Guinness was always good in London at the time the brewery existed. The Guinness in Dublin was also good, but as you mentioned NOT at the brewery…..Why is that? Put all this aside. One of the best pints of Guinness I’ve had is at the Spitfire Arms in Windsor, NS. I think its best to leave it in the folklore of Guinness. A truly great beer which has proved it can last the test of time. Long let it continue!

[...] have high turnover there because the pub isn’t really open to the public. And the atmosphere – dude I was bitter when I was there. But yeah, whatever mojo it takes to pour a superior Guinness, some guys in Malaysia beat all of [...]
