Definitely think a digital leaderboard that's updated on every video to give an overall judge on where the pint scores. Also a thought would be going down the line of the one bite app where the followers give there scores on the guiness in there pubs and gives you new ideas on where to try out. Could call it the Guru's guide or Shout your Stout
I've read that McGregor is brilliant to do business with. All invoices are paid on time and there's never a problem with deals agreed etc. So, good luck to Connor.
"Can't tell you where it's brewed" means it's almost definitely brewed at a massive contract brewery in continental Europe that brews the same beer for loads of pubs/bars etc, letting them rename or brand it as they like. Its the same for any pub that has an own brand beer on but doesn't have a brewery on site or isn't explicitly linked to/owned by a brewery. I've met a lot of brewers & been to a lot of breweries and they are not secretive about how they make their beer, if anything you can't shut them up talking about it.
You're talking out your hole, why would a pub import a house beer from Europe. The black forge could go down the street to Drimnagh and get a house beer from Rascals and brand it however they want.
@@Ryanfom because it's 60-70% cheaper to buy kegs from macro breweries that already ship their product all over the country than to purchase them from an independent brewery.
@XΣΠΩ Π7 My guess is it's the result of years of playing international drinking game rules. Pinky off. I still do it with any glass I drink from - I can't help it, it's just burnt into my brain and has become muscle memory even 20 years later.
This guy seems like an awesome person aye, was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Australia, would definitly have a decent session down the pub with this fella
I Dont remember ever actually drinking Guinness in my life but I'm loving this channel but I cant put my finger on why 😂 Either way loving the guy just go around and reviewing different pints, good on ya
Tried Islands Edge the other day . Weird pint . Starts off stout , then the swallow is more beer/lager in the final downing. Needless to say Guinness isn’t under any pressure!
Islands Edge is Tea infused reducing the bitterness not roast coffee - little bit info for ye. Good video! You lashed those pints down like an animal, fair play.
Not saying he's one but how he glub glubs the beer down is very much reminiscent of how alcoholics drink beer. I'm not much of a drinker myself so I can't imagine the taste of all that beer going down yuck..
@@paul479 We call that Tall poppy syndrome. Stop being so jealous and disrespectful to your own country man the man has done Ireland proud in many ways.
I studied abroad in Dublin in the Summer of 2018. You won't regret doing that! Just stay out of Temple Bar because that's where all the tourists drink.
I’m an Aussie with Irish heritage going back to the 2nd fleet in 1792, I fucken love this channel and I fucken love Guinness and Kilkenny, always have, my wife and I were sposed to be coming to Ireland last august 2020 til Covid struck and now we’re still locked down in Melbourne, I swear when we get the chance we’re coming over probably next year and we’re gonna look you up for our week long pub bender on us, cheers brother
also went to howth for the day didnt relise when i walked past the harbour there is a great fish and chip shop and along from ot was the waterside bar thats another connor magregor pub but in renovation dunno if its getting done or no
I'd love to see a leaderboard or something similar where you've a list of every Guinness you've tried and their ratings from high to low. Hope you have a wee notebook recording the scores down ;)
The new wan has a wee raised line going around the glass and a harp on the back. Not much different at all don’t see how it would effect the taste just the old glass feels nicer in the hand
Hey, that was my waitress. She rocked. So much fun. I’m not an expert, I just love Guinness. I really really really liked the Black Forge Stout. Just my opinion. I’m from NY so my experience is very limited lol
Yeh if you can get over the roasted coffee flavours... the taste of a decent stout.. if you can get over that you might be able to drink it.. Sounds good to me
In fairness the guy wouldn't know a good pint of stout if it was forced down his gob. Coffee, chocolate, roasted notes are a bad thing to him, the mind boggles.
Love the guiness craic my man 👌, one question though, you just said you've never had a pint of beamish but in a video below this one you've titled the video "trying first ever pint of beamish" 🤔😂?
We finally have been able to get this canada now and I gotta say after buying more than a few cases now it's great. I've never a faulty can where the widget doesn't activate can't say the same for guiness 3 duds in every 8 pack. They could learn something from these guys.
Can someone explain to me how each Guinness is any different? I thought they were all brewed the same so how does it make sense to review different pints?
pints vary quite a lot, if you dont mind the taste its about the glass, the condensation, temperature, the amount of head. the pint itself can be quite watery or taste like its been sitting in a dirty puddle for way too long.
And you'll notice this if you have a few Guinness at different pubs and bars. If it's a serious pub who knows what they're doing they'll have creamy, dark, rich, roasted Guinness on tap. Any old bar and it'll taste like it's been cut with water and left to sit for a month. It's like the difference between getting a Coke in a glass bottle and the Coke you get from the dispenser in a cinema or at McDonald's
@@Startingtofeelit Beamish, Murphys and Islands Edge are all made in Cork and also Cork is Ireland's biggest County and the world's second largest natural harbour. Just a few reasons Cork is the Capital of many things and the real Capital of Ireland 😉
I have tryed guiness so many times tap, can, bottle you name it. But the best i ever had was one at a German pub close to the Denmark/Germany border it makes canned guiness taste like garbage.
It's mad to me you've never had Beamish. To me, it's vastly superior to Guinness, and way older as well. But sadly very few pubs still pull pints of it, it's mostly relegated to cans. They do exist though. Given how anti-Irish Arthur Guinness was, it's a shame his stout took the lead over Beamish as an icon of this island.
@@paul479 There was no Home Rule movement during Arthur Guinness's time. He was a supporter of Henry Grattan, however, and would have been involved to some extent with the Volunteers of the late 1770s.
Why can't a new pub with no expense spared have a pint of Guinness like the Grave Diggers, it can't be that difficult. That pint seemed a bit too cold to me and too cold means the pint will lack body.
Pure genius if you ask me....set up a you tube site tasting guiness (which all tastes the f in same anywhere you go) set off all over ireland get site sponsored and drink for f ing free...Only in Ireland - give this man a medal ....
Yeah I was thinking that the greatest ideas are always the simplest ones. Every one will be setting up you tube channels now for free pints and sponsorship. All guinness does not taste the same though. Depends on the pipes of the pub etc.
we went there on the 16 oct 2022 and it was the night of the football liverpool v man city wasnt to busy in the bar but restraunt was full coulnmdt get a meal so just stayed for a drink before heading back into the city centre i thought to try the black forge stout and i thought it was nice didnt think about trying the guinness because theres loads of guinness in the dub so 1 pubs no gona be different from the rest also once i flushed that down i tryed his the black forge whiskey on the rocks was niceee i now have bought a bottle from the airport to take home to endjoy at le lesure
You should’ve tried a proper 12 too never had it before always wondered what it’s like but wouldn’t be holed wasting money on a bottle incase it’s muck
