Imagine him realizing that not every Guinness in Ireland pubs are the same, and each have their own unique flavors. FYI: Northern Ireland has the best of everything.

Yeah it's because Guinness has a really short shelf life when compared to any other canned booze even in the uk it can be difficult to find a pub that has in date Guinness on tap for a decent price. Factor in the stuff first has to be shipped halfway across the world to you guys aswell odds are the majority of Guinness in America is probably past its best before date
r u dumb ? u need to shake the guinness he poured first because it has a widget in the can that’s what makes it have the head at the top the other can u don’t need to do that 💀
Canned Guinness is good. The Irish can pours just the way its meant to. Whatever is in the American can is not Guinness. They probably just let them use their name.
I worked in a liquor store for about 15 years. I was always told most of the Guinness products in America are made in Canada. The one that surprised me the most was the Guinness Blonde Lager was made in Lacrosse, WI.
The pour from the can is very important with Guiness, you're not supposed to pour it with the glass tipped, you are supposed to crack it and hard pour the beer immediately in the glass. Guiness is nitrogen infused, so pouring it in the glass hard helps the gas release in the glass and enhances the flavour and frothy feel it has.
Most Irish people dont even know this and they’re wasting the creamy cans. Additionally the ones from Ireland at least have a widget in them which is like a little grey ball which bobbles around and agitates the bubbles as you pour
@RobertKing-oq4fq it's not staged you clown. Go to the comments it's full of Irish people saying they couldn't stand the ones in America.

I was taught by a Guinness rep that for the cans you just dump the whole thing straight in. With a Guinness pint it seems to work for me every time with a perfect head.
When i worked in a bar we once had a guiness rep come in for a bunch of things like installing some new gear etc but while there she showed us how to decant a can of guiness and especially she opened it put it down flipped the glass upside down on top of the can then flipped the whole thing back around and slowly pulled the can up keeping it about 2cm above the water line until the can was empty
An American goes into a bar and says " I'll give $1000 to anyone that can drink 20 pints of Guinness ". An Irishman hearing this walks out of the bar and returns half an hour later. He walks up to the American and says " Sure, I'll take that bet ". He then drinks all 20 pints. The American hands him the money and asks where he went for that half hour. The Irishman say " I went to the pub down the road to see if I could do it ". 🤣

Near the end of a 3 month job in 1990's China (by then sick of all Chinese beer) at a fancy hotel work dinner. They had Guinness. So excited. Then --- Worst taste I ever tried to swallow. Reading the bottle "Brewed under license in Guang Dong, China"
Many "imported" beers sold in the US, especially from Asia, and Australia, are actually brewed in southern Ontario, around Toronto. So the next time you buy a can or bottle of "imported" beer, take a look at the small print on the back. .... Heinekin still comes from the Netherlands, and beers imported in very small volumes may still come from the country they are associated with, but the sorts of beers you find on tap in Chinese, Thai, or other Asian restaurants, are probably being "imported" from Ontario. 🙄
The two-part-pour is only when pouring from the tap, when pouring from a can you need to open it and get the Guinness from the can into the glass basically as fast as you can in one go. It’s common to open the can then immediately tip it upside down into the glass and raise it as the glass fills being careful not to touch the can against the surface of the Guinness.
The misinformation going crazy here. Firstly, that “special ball” is called a widget, it stores pressurized nitrogen that releases when the can is opened, which helps fizz up the beer so that you can get some proper heard ( 😉). Secondly, because of the widget, pouring from the can is basically the same as the tap, and Guinness even has official instructions that tell you to do that ( the instructions are included with the nitro surge accessory and is labeled Guinness’s Official best way to pour ). Another note to keep in mind, the reason you want to have a head on your pint, is because the head keeps it carbonated for way longer than no head. Tarraignt do ceann amach as do thóin 😂
My buddy and I have done this experiment a number of times. What we found is whatever one you drink second always tastes better. Even after "cleansing" your palate.
@@user-oo8wt3hr1t likely not, ive seen plenty of americans be fully from america and try faking irish accents. he just must think thats how irish people speak
Fun fact... Nursing mothers were given a pint of the Guinness to nourish them in hospitals in England My mother in-law said so. She was a nurse, way back
Hahaha I love it respect to Ireland, Mexico is the same way the beer is just better then American 😄 in fact Modelo is the #1 best selling beer in the United States 🇺🇸
And tap Guinness is far better than the canned Guinness, I was in Ireland in my early 20s, 15 or so years ago and It was so good I must of had 10 pints that night. I can still remember that taste and I woke up next to an Irish bbw in my room the next morning and she took me to her mother’s home for a full Irish breakfast. Had a blast in Ireland but just never went back maybe someday.
@@benjamincoram7036 The foam is an indication of the level of carbonation/nitronation in the beer. As someone mentioned, the widget inside the can sometimes malfunctions and doesn’t properly nitronate the beer. It happens sometimes in both Irish cans and American cans. In this case, it looked like the American can malfunctioned. Also, even in Ireland, some pubs are known to have “good” Guinness and some pubs are known to have “bad” Guinness. Guinness is a very temperamental beer, if you can even call it a beer.
They are made in the same factory, but for exported cans they have a different formula so that they last a lot longer. It even tastes better in pubs the closer to the brewery
Biggest mistake I ever made was visiting the brewery in Dublin. Once you've tasted Guinness in Dublin it absolutely ruins Guinness at home for at least a year😢
Cant drink Guinness , about half a pint in ,bleuh just dont want any more - Had 3 or 4 pints of murphys a couple of weeks back and loved it , haven't drank stout in about 20 years
i had guinness for the first time last week here in the u.s after being a modelo&corona fan. i loved the creaminess and bitter balance of it. i wish i could try the irish ones now 😭
Lad firstly don't drink Guinness from a can draught is king. Two to pour from can, crack it, flip it vertical in the glass and slowly lift the can up, the widget in the can staggers the pour to simulate the tap. Trust me on this I'm from Ireland and that's the only way to pour Guinness from a can.
@@gohabs8918That goes against how most Americans drink their beer. I bartended at a chain restaurant, nothing too serious, and always had someone complain I was “cheating them out of beer” if it had a head on it.
@@dlg720 To be fair I used to pour my beer like that but it makes sense after seeing a video explaining it. You don’t want those bubbles in your tummy. More room to buy more beer!
Also, the export Guinness is a slightly different brew with a different alcohol percentage and slightly other variations of the ingredients in it. At least, that's what the people of the brewery told when I went on a tour there.
I'm Canadian, cans of Guinness sold here have the widget as well. I suspect those sold in America also have it, at least the one I had last week in Phoenix did. I question his take on the American can considering we didn't see him open that one, nor know how long it sat before he poured it.
@@All-Outta-BubblegumWhat the hell happened to your tastebuds, the Foreign Extra Stout is godly! As is the West Indies Porter. Both a touch stronger too. This is coming from a Irishman who rarely has Guinness not on draught (but I do prefer Beamish at a push).
Which US laws specifically? I'm doubtful because there are tons of beers available and even brewed in the US which are neither pasteurized nor filtered. Either there's no law, or ~95% of the breweries I've had beer from in the last decade are all breaking it.
@@SpaceCowboy57 Law is something like beers under 8% abv need to be pasteurized because the alcohol isn't enough to prevent bacteria growth. It's a FDA rule.
I took my son to Dublin, Ireland when he was 20. He had tased Guinness before while on campus. But, we took a tour of the Guinness Brewery and had a complimentary Guinness. We haven’t had a Guinness since! There is no comparison that a U.S. Guinness can come close to the taste of an original Irish Guinness.
The blind confidence this dude has is wild. From seemingly having little to no knowledge of spirits, cocktails, beer or wine this joker has amassed a huge following. Imagine if he actually put out quality informed content.
Either the American version was old/defective, or you really got a junky version there because I didn't see ANY of that nitrogen bubbling that you usually get when you pour a Guinness from a can.
I didn't hear the nitrogen capsule go off in the "American" version think it was a bad capsule so it altered the flavor but i can say it is a mild taste difference since I've had both but not enough to be a determining factor
It's essential to have the can well chilled. Also, you may have been confused/misinformed about the 120 seconds and the second pour. That's to do with draught pints, not cans. You pour the full can down the side of the glass, and when the brown fuzz stops rolling up the glass it's cooked. Sláinte! Maith an fear! ☘️
I drink canned American Guiness poured into a glass and sometimes the Nitro ball aka "widget" doesn't activate as well as it should. So the foam amount will likely vary between American cans. "Freshness" also probably has something to do with it
Guinness does have a brewery in MD in the states but most of the standard classic Guinness draught and Extra Stout is imported from Ireland. That said is also the real big reason for change in taste, simply it just sit in can and bottle longer being exported over long distances it maybe months before that can cracked whereas your beer may have been brewed not even a week ago in Ireland. Just a huge time difference in distribution. That's really the key in difference.
You can indeed get imported Guinness in the US and it does oftentimes sit too long so it’s not an optimal solution. I’m not sure why you have the idea that the standard Guinness draught and Extra Stout is coming from Ireland- I’ve visited both facilities multiple times and certainly the draught that you get in the US is coming from the Baltimore facility these days. It definitely tastes different, but it also seems like he didn’t pour the American version properly.
Guys, if your ever in Ireland, ask for a pint of Murphys, in my opinion it tastes much nicer and smoother than Guinness and it well worth a try. But yeah Guinness is the nicest when its in Ireland, i thought the exported stuff would taste the same, but it seems to taste different in every country.
Guinness varies even in Ireland generally you want to get into the countryside where there's an old fashioned pub the taps are slower than in big cities and it generally tastes better. I've lived in Ireland my entire life all I do is drink Guinness when I'm out so I know what truly great Guinness is. Generally once you leave Ireland the quality just goes down there's only one place that I've gone to abroad that could pass as a decent pint in Ireland and that is Mulligan's in Manchester in England. I've been everywhere too I've drank Guinness in every country I've been to.
Im english and had hundreds of guniesses over here from cans and taps and I went to Belfast and the difference is insane a fresh guiness from a pub over there is undefeated
@@brandtsweet ah my bad didn't know that. Btw can you recommend some beers for the winter that don't rip the wallet? You seem to know enough about beers
You can't beat a good pint of Guinness from a good Irish old man's pub. And for beginners, a drop of raspberry. Thanking you all the way from Ireland. ❤❤❤❤😂
I just got back from a vacation in Scotland and Ireland where I was drinking mostly Guinness the whole time. In America my go to beer is a bottled Budweiser. (I know it’s not the best by any means, but I just love it as an easy to drink lager.) during my entire visit in Scotland and Ireland I did not see Guinness searched in a bottle or can. Only draught. They say Guinness tastes better in Ireland, (which I think is true). I also think that Budweiser tastes better in America. I ordered it twice (bottled, not draught) at night clubs and it was terrible. I’m back in NY drinking a bud right now and it’s delicious.
Yes agreed, I have Guinness on draft in Ireland, Europe and also usa, Ireland is like you say night and day better in their guiness, it's depressing knowing I'll never get the.full experience again :(
Everything made outside of America is always better, it’s logical, in your country the motive and primary target is money, in other countries they do it for passion and satisfaction.
I used to drink Guinness stout beer in Malaysia. It was locally made, by the same brewery that makes Tiger & Carlsberg beers. It is pretty famous there, especially among the Tamil community. Guinness is truly unique. What I found the best thing about Guinness is that it aids in digestion and also helps reduce extra weight, unlike other traditional beers, that increase weight.
I've been to Ireland in college, the best way I can describe the difference is like Krispy Kreme American Guiness is like buying a box of Krispy Kreme from Walmart. It'll scratch the itch but it's not a true experience Guinness, especially poured fresh from the tap in Dublin, is like walking into a Krispy Kreme with the hot light on and getting fresh, hot donuts right off the conveyor
Guinness is an acquired taste! You have to drink it alot to appreciate it! I hated it the first few times, started to like it a bit after some times, now i LOVE it specially if its from a tap in a bar and not the can!
@@GodOfLovers1111 yeah some people surely do like it the first time..... But many people dont like it the first time! But TBH, i think it just depends on the person!
I liked it from the getgo. But that's because I hadn't acquired the taste of regular beer yet as I was fairly young, so tasting Guinness was a very pleasant surprise since I was only drinking beer to hang out with my beer drinking friends.
The local parish over here in Ireland recently got a new priest from Cameroon and he never stops singing the praises of the Guinness from his home - ours is so weak in comparison apparently! I'd nearly be scared to try the Guinness he's on about, sounds like it's strong enough to stand on 😂
@@RuailleBuaille Yes apparently when they tried Guinness they thought it was nice but a bit weak so a stronger one was made. Haven't tried it myself yet but have heard it's another level
Made for two different markets. There are different laws when it comes to imports. Stuff imported always taste differently because it takes forever to get here to market.
Pretty sure it’s because of the spring water that’s used when brewing not many country’s have similar spring water to Ireland that’s why in some country’s it tastes better compared to others
When you go to Ireland Brewery you get the real thing and it is a Great brewery. I brought several momentoes when i visited and it was a Great day out. Loved it.❤😂😊
@@davidlittle7182 First of all....I never took it seriously. It was a joke. You know...The reason I put "Lol" at the end?😁 Secondly... It's technically owned by a multinational corporation whose main headquarters is in London, but it's still made at the same brewery, called St. James Gate I think, since 1759. But just because the multinational corporation is headquartered in London, with other offices all over the world, doesn't necessarily make it an English company. But yeah...Like I said, it was a joke anyways.
@@thelegendinhisownmind7038 it's an English company, with it's headquarters registered in London. I used to work for the Guinness procurement team, making the canned and bottled Guinness in Runcorn and Belfast, and I also worked on the project to shut down Park Royal and expand St. James's Gate brewery. But thanks for the education
If your in Dublin go to one of the most popular tourist sites in the world-the Guinness Storehouse. At the end you get a pint poured the way it should be.
Just because it's the same brand doesn't mean it is the same company that is brewing the beer. Outside of the UK, there are likely several other breweries that are making Guinness beer.
More than likely any difference in flavor perception is due to water chemistry differences. Dublin has exceptionally hard water that is balanced by the acidity in roasted barley that's added as a flavoring and coloring ingredient. The usage of water local to their US domestic brewery likely has much less water hardness. Importing water from Dublin or adjusting for water chemistry would raise the price of inputs and lead to less sales volume. The majority of fermentable sugars would come from a much paler malt. This used to be the same for Munich brewers until pilsners and advances in water chemistry allowed them to brew paler beers to compete. Guinness did not seem to have these concerns. Also as many commenters have pointed out, nitrogen is quite heavy and you can pour at a much steeper angle than with traditional beers that lack the nitrogenated treatment.
Just a tip, you need to use a Guinness pint glass when pouring a pint of Guinness. The glass is designed specifically for Guinness and actually helps with the pour and taste 👍
My first visit to Ireland I told our server in a pub that I had always wanted to enjoy an authentic Irish beer in Ireland. He suggested Guinness and quickly told me that the Guinness in Ireland is much better than the export version. He was right.
The reason Guinness tastes better in Ireland (on draught) is because Guinness have a team of people that travel the country cleaning and servicing the lines in every pub it’s sold in. They do this on a I think a monthly if not weekly basis.
Take it from an Irish person, a Pint of Guinness is different pre 1990 and post 1990, Diageo who own the brand basically change the recipe to cater for the younger professional class with disposable income in their pockets. Its horrible now, I drink draft independent stout now or Guinness original, Nigerian stout.
Nope. Guinness and Grand Metropolitan merged in 1997 to form Diageo. Dublin brewed Guinness never recently changed their recipe until 2015, when they stopped using fish bladders (isinglass) to fine the beer, to be vegan friendly. I never noticed a change in the taste, I doubt it made a difference.
Lots of people here are mocking the fact he's doing it from the can. But I mean... yeah, we all know its going to be way better fresh at the root, or in draft. And yeah, guinness is legendary for being more unique and worth getting to the Dublin spot. The fact he found the canned stuff that's closer is also different, THAT is interesting and news to me.
my husband who was from Dublin drank a lot of Guinness in his time, although never from a can. But Charlie always said the Guinness brewed in Nigeria was the best
Imagine this guy trying a Guinness in actual pub in Ireland. He would short circuit 😂

Quick is best. if you crack it and wait too long before pouring, it will often foam out of the can.
There is a special ball in Guinness cans to help draught properly when poured directly upside down.
The misinformation going crazy here.
Firstly, that “special ball” is called a widget, it stores pressurized nitrogen that releases when the can is opened, which helps fizz up the beer so that you can get some proper heard ( 😉).
Secondly, because of the widget, pouring from the can is basically the same as the tap, and Guinness even has official instructions that tell you to do that ( the instructions are included with the nitro surge accessory and is labeled Guinness’s Official best way to pour ).
Another note to keep in mind, the reason you want to have a head on your pint, is because the head keeps it carbonated for way longer than no head.
Tarraignt do ceann amach as do thóin 😂
The two part pour was a marketing ploy and literally does nothing. It was to make people think your getting something special. It's all a con.
@@rexoid0800that’s wrong mate, the two part pour is specifically for the settling of the Guinness before topping up for a perfect dome head.
My buddy and I have done this experiment a number of times. What we found is whatever one you drink second always tastes better. Even after "cleansing" your palate.

And tap Guinness is far better than the canned Guinness, I was in Ireland in my early 20s, 15 or so years ago and It was so good I must of had 10 pints that night. I can still remember that taste and I woke up next to an Irish bbw in my room the next morning and she took me to her mother’s home for a full Irish breakfast. Had a blast in Ireland but just never went back maybe someday.

Sometimes the carbonator doesn't activate when the can is opened. Try another from the US and it should foam the same
He didn't even do the test legit. Dude staged the whole thing.
Do they still put those balls in them?
Yup… the American can was definitely flawed.
It's not just about the foam. I can't speak for america but i've tried irish and australian guinness and the irish guiness was far superior.
@@benjamincoram7036 The foam is an indication of the level of carbonation/nitronation in the beer. As someone mentioned, the widget inside the can sometimes malfunctions and doesn’t properly nitronate the beer. It happens sometimes in both Irish cans and American cans.
In this case, it looked like the American can malfunctioned.
Also, even in Ireland, some pubs are known to have “good” Guinness and some pubs are known to have “bad” Guinness. Guinness is a very temperamental beer, if you can even call it a beer.

They are made in the same factory, but for exported cans they have a different formula so that they last a lot longer. It even tastes better in pubs the closer to the brewery
The best pints of Guinness I've had was from the factory and a pub in Galway 😁
Guinness is made in Ireland, but the American stuff is canned in UK after they shipped over the Guinness in syurp form and mixed in the UK.
Different countries have different alcoholic strengths too - in Nigeria it's (was?) 6%.

Lad firstly don't drink Guinness from a can draught is king.
Two to pour from can, crack it, flip it vertical in the glass and slowly lift the can up, the widget in the can staggers the pour to simulate the tap.
Trust me on this I'm from Ireland and that's the only way to pour Guinness from a can.
100%
A thick head is a good thing, that’s why bartenders never pour down the side of a glass. You don’t want those bubbles in your tummy bloating you

The Irish Guinness has a widget in the can. This creates the head.

At least, that's what the people of the brewery told when I went on a tour there.
wait they don't have that in the states?
I'm Canadian, cans of Guinness sold here have the widget as well. I suspect those sold in America also have it, at least the one I had last week in Phoenix did. I question his take on the American can considering we didn't see him open that one, nor know how long it sat before he poured it.

Us laws require all beer to be pasteurized or filtered. Irish doesn't
What about New England style IPA unfiltered from USA?
@@adamo36532 then it's pasteurized
And a quick Google search would let you know that you are incorrect.
Which US laws specifically?
I'm doubtful because there are tons of beers available and even brewed in the US which are neither pasteurized nor filtered. Either there's no law, or ~95% of the breweries I've had beer from in the last decade are all breaking it.
@@SpaceCowboy57 Law is something like beers under 8% abv need to be pasteurized because the alcohol isn't enough to prevent bacteria growth. It's a FDA rule.
I took my son to Dublin, Ireland when he was 20. He had tased Guinness before while on campus. But, we took a tour of the Guinness Brewery and had a complimentary Guinness.

No irishman would ever EVER say that ... fishy 😆
Either the American version was old/defective, or you really got a junky version there because I didn't see ANY of that nitrogen bubbling that you usually get when you pour a Guinness from a can.
The way he pours it along side the glass is the reason for the lack of bubbles.
@@picklechin2716the Irish one was poured the same though and had bubbles
I didn't hear the nitrogen capsule go off in the "American" version think it was a bad capsule so it altered the flavor but i can say it is a mild taste difference since I've had both but not enough to be a determining factor
@@picklechin2716The nitrogen capsule literally didn't go off. He had a defective can.
I get Guinness all the time not once I saw this little foam, no matter what kind of pour. Seems defective
It's essential to have the can well chilled. Also, you may have been confused/misinformed about the 120 seconds and the second pour. That's to do with draught pints, not cans. You pour the full can down the side of the glass, and when the brown fuzz stops rolling up the glass it's cooked. Sláinte! Maith an fear! ☘️
I drink canned American Guiness poured into a glass and sometimes the Nitro ball aka "widget" doesn't activate as well as it should. So the foam amount will likely vary between American cans. "Freshness" also probably has something to do with it
"Eye-er-lnd" 💀💀
Guinness does have a brewery in MD in the states but most of the standard classic Guinness draught and Extra Stout is imported from Ireland. That said is also the real big reason for change in taste, simply it just sit in can and bottle longer being exported over long distances it maybe months before that can cracked whereas your beer may have been brewed not even a week ago in Ireland. Just a huge time difference in distribution. That's really the key in difference.
ty
No fuckin shit it’s an Irish beer
@Moisty_boii you're real fun at parties, huh?
@@Merfraxthis guy stinks!
You can indeed get imported Guinness in the US and it does oftentimes sit too long so it’s not an optimal solution. I’m not sure why you have the idea that the standard Guinness draught and Extra Stout is coming from Ireland- I’ve visited both facilities multiple times and certainly the draught that you get in the US is coming from the Baltimore facility these days. It definitely tastes different, but it also seems like he didn’t pour the American version properly.
Guys, if your ever in Ireland, ask for a pint of Murphys, in my opinion it tastes much nicer and smoother than Guinness and it well worth a try.
But yeah Guinness is the nicest when its in Ireland, i thought the exported stuff would taste the same, but it seems to taste different in every country.
Guinness varies even in Ireland generally you want to get into the countryside where there's an old fashioned pub the taps are slower than in big cities and it generally tastes better. I've lived in Ireland my entire life all I do is drink Guinness when I'm out so I know what truly great Guinness is. Generally once you leave Ireland the quality just goes down there's only one place that I've gone to abroad that could pass as a decent pint in Ireland and that is Mulligan's in Manchester in England. I've been everywhere too I've drank Guinness in every country I've been to.
I've drank a lot of Guinness, and I have never had results that looked like yours. My heads always look like the Ireland ones.
I will sometimes get a can that just seemed to not foam possibly the widget didnt release. Happens every now and then
Sometimes you just get bad head, it happens.
That’s because he opened it and let it sit so it would get flat for the video

I just got back from a vacation in Scotland and Ireland where I was drinking mostly Guinness the whole time. In America my go to beer is a bottled Budweiser. (I know it’s not the best by any means, but I just love it as an easy to drink lager.) during my entire visit in Scotland and Ireland I did not see Guinness searched in a bottle or can. Only draught. They say Guinness tastes better in Ireland, (which I think is true). I also think that Budweiser tastes better in America. I ordered it twice (bottled, not draught) at night clubs and it was terrible. I’m back in NY drinking a bud right now and it’s delicious.

I used to drink Guinness stout beer in Malaysia. It was locally made, by the same brewery that makes Tiger & Carlsberg beers.

This short smells wrong, I suspect tom foolery
If your in Dublin go to one of the most popular tourist sites in the world-the Guinness Storehouse. At the end you get a pint poured the way it should be.
Just because it's the same brand doesn't mean it is the same company that is brewing the beer. Outside of the UK, there are likely several other breweries that are making Guinness beer.
More than likely any difference in flavor perception is due to water chemistry differences. Dublin has exceptionally hard water that is balanced by the acidity in roasted barley that's added as a flavoring and coloring ingredient. The usage of water local to their US domestic brewery likely has much less water hardness. Importing water from Dublin or adjusting for water chemistry would raise the price of inputs and lead to less sales volume. The majority of fermentable sugars would come from a much paler malt. This used to be the same for Munich brewers until pilsners and advances in water chemistry allowed them to brew paler beers to compete. Guinness did not seem to have these concerns.
Also as many commenters have pointed out, nitrogen is quite heavy and you can pour at a much steeper angle than with traditional beers that lack the nitrogenated treatment.
All canned Guinness in the US is from Ireland.
Just a tip, you need to use a Guinness pint glass when pouring a pint of Guinness. The glass is designed specifically for Guinness and actually helps with the pour and taste 👍
My first visit to Ireland I told our server in a pub that I had always wanted to enjoy an authentic Irish beer in Ireland. He suggested Guinness and quickly told me that the Guinness in Ireland is much better than the export version. He was right.
The reason Guinness tastes better in Ireland (on draught) is because Guinness have a team of people that travel the country cleaning and servicing the lines in every pub it’s sold in. They do this on a I think a monthly if not weekly basis.

Take it from an Irish person, a Pint of Guinness is different pre 1990 and post 1990, Diageo who own the brand basically change the recipe to cater for the younger professional class with disposable income in their pockets. Its horrible now, I drink draft independent stout now or Guinness original, Nigerian stout.
I drank Guinness in Ireland in 1989 and it was incredible. How horrible that someone changed that.
Agree!
Nope. Guinness and Grand Metropolitan merged in 1997 to form Diageo. Dublin brewed Guinness never recently changed their recipe until 2015, when they stopped using fish bladders (isinglass) to fine the beer, to be vegan friendly. I never noticed a change in the taste, I doubt it made a difference.
Lots of people here are mocking the fact he's doing it from the can. But I mean... yeah, we all know its going to be way better fresh at the root, or in draft. And yeah, guinness is legendary for being more unique and worth getting to the Dublin spot. The fact he found the canned stuff that's closer is also different, THAT is interesting and news to me.
my husband who was from Dublin drank a lot of Guinness in his time, although never from a can. But Charlie always said the Guinness brewed in Nigeria was the best
