Had a pint of it myself in gourmet food parlour malahide at the weekend. Was no better than a regular nitrosurge can, I didn't bother getting a second. I can understand some businesses using these but you'd be fucking mad to spend your own money on one
The only reason to buy one is if you haven't space for a beer engine and keg, but that space costs you £500 or thereabouts and £70 for 24 cans for it, fuck that, 63 pint keg for £110
That will be a great investment for warmer countries. A 6.3 Guinness anywhere in the world is something to tip the hat to. To have it there if the random paddy comes in would be great. Like when American's rock over to McDonalds in a foreign country.
I can't stand "The Guru Gulp"! He always says he gulps off his pints in 4 fast swigs cos people don't wanna spend ages watching him slowly sipping the pints, but it's like: "have you ever heard of video editing?"..........
Come on, cut him a bit of slack! It's obvious his channel and videos aren't meant to be taken seriously, they're all just tongue in cheek and a bit of craic! Who seriously scores one pint a 6.6, the next a 7.4 and then a 8.9 and every pint was virtually identical!! I've seen him give decent pints a 5.0 and shite pints over an 8.0, it all just depends who's giving him the pints for free and who's charged him for the drinks. His scoring system is all over the place and I've never seen such inconsistency in someone scoring something. In saying all that though, his video's are entertaining and enjoyable, just enjoy it for what it is.
It's beyond irony that the €25 nitrosurge device is better and a lot faster pour with a bigger head. I've said it before and I'll say it again if done correctly the nitrosurge tastes better than 90% of manky salty, bitter pub pints!!! If I was a restaurant I'd just buy a few nitrosurge devices and dish pints out like that. Like pouring 1 pint from that €900 yoke takes an eternity. Imagine 6 people at the table want a pint. Get 4 nitro devices for 100€ and away ye go.
@@johnmc3862 plenty of restaurants sell draught guinness in a can so i cant see what the difference would be to serve via a nitrosurge device. But i take your point - but it still doesnt take away from the fact that for €25 i think you have a more flexible and essentially a better device for serving a better pint. Plus, imagine a table of 6 ordering 6 pints of guinness from the micro device - the last lad would be waiting about half an hour for his pint!
That's true but remember you need different gas for guiness than larger, so this is designed for home bars where you don't want to be paying for two different gasses and two diffrent systems. Also the shelf life a guiness keg is really short so if you not able to drink 80 pints in a week or 40 pints in a week then the keg gonna go dead. These are very good mid point of a can and a tap, it's also movable, easy to take out too aparty. Agreed though it is a bit steep on the price tho
Got the microdraught just in time for New Years as it took an extra few days to get delivered to Ireland because of customs etc…..yes, customs is also to be considered on top of the €900 price tag, you are talking closer to €1200 when you add taxes and a few cans on which is steep but let’s be fair, no one who is considering buying the microdraught is doing so because they think it is a more cost efficient way of getting the Black stuff into them, you are purely doing it for the novelty! The machine itself surprised me with its quality and pure heft! I was half expecting a shitty plastic yoke that would break the first time you have the lads over but that certainly isn’t the case. Pints are decent out of it and I would agree with the Guru they rate slightly above the nitrosurge but as I said to all the Guinness drinkers that asked me about it, stick with the nitrosurge you aren’t missing out. All in all, a solid product priced too high for what it is but that’s just the world we live in unfortunately! There will always be gobshites like me that will buy it 😂 Great video as always Guru 👍
Haha this made me laugh 😂 do you get a better head, dome on this? I might not be pouring the nitro surge totally proper but very little dome going on but def a lot creamier taste!
What other weird gadgets do you have brother cuz we both know ur not droppin 1200 on the first dumb drinkin product lol the dumbest thing we have on our ranch is a keg holder in the back of a ranger with a tube going to the ac unit so we can have roadies lol
Having one of these for 900 euros is cheaper than a license and running costs of beer on tap, I can certainly see the benefit of having one in a cafe like here. If I went to a local cafe and saw one of these, it would signal to me that they care about the Guiness they're trying to serve to customers.
You don’t need a licence to have a keg. A keg works out at (approximately) €2.70 to €3 depending on keg size. You get probably 10kegs from a cylinder of gas so gas not expensive at all, you’re talking cents per pint. So I’m not sure how this works out any cheaper.
Guiness Guru Etiquettes: 1. Approach the glass as an old friend 2. Inspect the glass 3. Inspect The Domage 4. Indulge 3 gulps minimum per thought 5. Respect the Shtick 6. Enjoy the creammm 🍺
Looks great pal, hate to say it but that premises I was there before Christmas glassware and cutlery was filthy and all 5 of us had same complaint and food was tasteless sorry for been a dick
For €900 id take 3 x 2week holidays to Magaluf, drink manky pints and have many lap dances whilst watching Guru videos and disagreeing with everything. Great video though, Yup Swords!
Would love to see you a review of the Guinness in Lucan village pubs , to my taste I can't understand how they all are so consistently poor, the Ball Alley being the exception but of recent times it's never open
You needa do a jewellery cleaner pint again cause you fucked it up the first time. A regular can using the pin trick then jewellery cleaner. Most cost effective and I swear by it solid 7/10 every time
Micro surger on a standard can using the pin trick imho tastes better than the jewellery cleaner method. A creamier head comes out of the micro surger.
Would love to see you try a home pub pint out of a Pygmy 25k or something similar. Play around with the setting and see how high of a score you can get. 😀
€900 for a pint a bit better than out of a can, seems a bit steep. How much would a draught tap and pump cost? Obviously you would have to buy your Guinness by the keg, but if you're willing to throw down nearly a grand for a half decent pint, then that wouldn't be an issue 😂
I found a used kegerator for $550, filled the co2 bottle with mixed gas for $40, bought the U coupled and stout faucet for $85 a piece, and the keg of Guinness for $200. Out the door with a full keg for the same cost of this unfortunately expensive machine that only comes with 4 cans.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Just install a proper tap and buy a keg for around the same price. Even if it was a little more, it's a far better investment than this thing.
@@TheGavranatar Pretty much! It's insane isn't it? I don't know what they were there thinking when they priced this thing. Maybe that's why it's only available in the UK because they're the only ones stupid enough to pay 900 euro for it?
For €900 id expect it to taste at least as good as a pub pint or why even bother. But personally I'd rather drink lemonade than that stuff so I may be a wee bit biased
One day when this pandemic bollocks had calmed the fuck down - you should come to Japan. They have a unique way of serving Guinness. They pour it from a can in to a glass, but the can doesn't have a widget to keep it nice and frothy... so they have... I kid you not... a little Guinness brand machine that vibrates the Guinness - creating the desired head on top of the pint.
Had the full Irish in here a few weeks back after getting vaxed nearby. Honestly it was phenomenal. Will go back and I live about a half hour drive away. Will have a Guinness with it next time maybe. 😂 Go to The Hut in Phibsboro lad.
Forget the attempts to re-brand it. We all know that Guinness is the most Unionist drink you can buy. A snip from Wiki; "Arthur opposed any movement toward Irish independence" Always nice to think of this when enjoying a pint of the black stuff. Beautiful.
Arthur was a businessman, maybe Irish independence wasn’t good from a business perspective? Business people tend not to give a damn about ideology or even people, money talks. (I’m Belgian, not Irish, so asking out of interest)
I had one a few weeks back in a hotel close to my local . My local closes early on a Sunday but the Guinness is fantastic there . The Bedford tavern in east Croydon. The can in the hotel I couldn't drink . Absolutely disgusting. Probably didn't help having 6 good pints before
After trying the microdraught in my brothers man cave it was really nice but deep down your paying a grand for a can of Guinness, I got a real keg for my man cave and its 2nd to none the nicest pint I have had & not as expensive as people think, remember with the microdraught they rip the piss with the actual can price aswell, just my opinion troops 😅
Geez 900 Euros makes it more of a commercial establishment device, just like that cafe - maybe if I was a millionaire and it just didn't matter I'd have one as a talking piece on the O'l sideboard, but naahh... interesting Guru thanks for the look
Would certainly drink if in a restaurant and they’d Guinness. For the money however, no way I’d buy that for home. Would rather just stick to cans for the house and get a proper pint in a pub. Still feels v v expensive for what it is.
This just came up on my feed. Where have you been all my Life! I am huge Guiness fan. Liked and Subcribe immediately and will be going through the back catalog this weekend.
they should get one of these in the irish pubs in America. The guinness they serve is absolute shite. At least this is more reliable than a keg that's been shipped, even though it's from a can
Can see the point of this in certain establishment's. Beach bars, hotels, cafes, places abroad ect. Seen surger units used in bars so this has to be better alternative.
Things like this just show most the Guinness stuff is just nonsense and marketing. Thats all in the one can so what need is there to push the handle back?
