Advantages: Lovely taste

Disadvantages: price (maybe)

I’ve been drinking Guinness regularly for a couple of years now and as soon as I enter a pub it’s up to the bar for a pint of it. Just watching it settle in the glass is a pleasure for me. I’ve sampled it in pubs in Bathgate, Livingston, Glasgow, Edinburgh and various pubs around England but have never had the honour to have a “real pint” in Ireland. It’s qualities varies from pub to pub but still has the same dark creamy texture and more or less the same flavour. The quality of the pint depends on the quality of the pub. At £1.90 a pint it’s maybe a tad more expensive than your average pint of Tennants but the extra 10 or 15p is worth it.
When first sipping the pint the creamy head will coat your throat, creating a path for the dark brown, ‘coffee’ tasting beer to flow down your throat. Maybe first time drinkers will think I’m going over board but once you’ve had that first taste trust me you will be going back for more. Some say it’s an aquired taste, maybe so, but still give it a shot anyway it beats any lager.
One word of warning don’t drink Guinness then try to race one of your mates to finish a pint of lager it’ll only cause a mess in the toilet. I found this out to my cost during an Old Firm game.
I may report back after my trip to Ireland to try the “real” Guinness.
