Guinness Extra Cold

[Mrs Dak]

I used to like pouring the Guinness out when i worked in a Pub, i used to finish off pouring it by putting the Shamrock design in the head, people liked that

One of the pubs round here, The Unicorn, does a unicorn design in the head, which I thought was fun

The nice people at Guinness sent us a couple of beer mats in the week stating that all brewing would now be done at St James Gate and shipped over here.

yep thats already happend they have stopped brewing the factory in the UK (cant remeber where it is) and now all your guinness is the real thing

my empty can of guinnes original still sitting on my desk informs me that its "Brewed in Ireland by Guinnes & Co."

[Yohji]

Not interbrew brown water?

[mr_anderson187]

yup yup, an advert on tv a while ago, saying ALL guiness is now brewed in Ireland, and that they check each pub in ireland once a month to make sure you get pure guinessy goodness

imho its not that bad, just takes about 5 minutes to settle, which is like torture if your just gagging for a pint

[Tumble]

aye... but well worth the wait imo

[mr_anderson187]

aye... but well worth the wait imo

do you do the offical, pull up test that we have here tumble?

poke the head and lift up your finger, your trying to tease the head to lift up into little mountains, onlyt when it lifts into lifftle peaks is it ready


^ terrible explanation, but you shoudl get the drift

[Tumble]

yes we do.. but over here it's known as "PLaying with you beer" and thus is frowned upon in polite circles

[bertie]

Theyre only brewing it all in dublin now because brewing in London was more expensive, but theyre trying to make it look as if its "coming home"

[Rave]

Sales are declining apparently, so they can probably fulfil all demand from the one brewery.

Never tried the Extra Cold, is it any good compared to the normal?

It's good for avoiding the 'warm guiness dreg' syndrome in stuff pubs.

Oh, and the UK distrobution centre was in park royal, was it brewed in that general ealing (spelling) area?

A friend just asked me on MSN why they sell this in pubs, but you can never find it in supermarkets.

because it's ****e. Why does every pub these days assume that every customer wants every drink to freeze the balls off them? If you want very cold cans at home, put them in your freezer, don't serve me something over the bar that just gives me bellyache. If you ask me, it's an excuse to continue the trend of ridiculous pump designs.
