Champagne has corks for a different reason- the same reason all truly high-quality wines have corks. Corks enable the flow of air in and out of the bottle, which is the only way a wine can age. I don't believe beer has aging potential, unlike fine champagne, but I could be wrong.

“The Journal of Brewing” or some-such publication needs to fund a double-blind placebo taste testing trial of corked vs capped Guinness. Might I volunteer as a participant?
It really is a big deal when you think about it. It's not just about the materials, it fundamentally had an impact on Ireland. We just don't think about this kind of thing being a big deal nowadays, but it is.
The switch to crown caps was precipitated by the switch to Nitrogen and away from naturally carbonated or CO2 carbonation. Nitrogen couldn't be held in by the corks. Nitrogen is also the reason he could so easily tell the flavour difference - a 'real ale' naturally carbonated Guinness was a completely different animal to the Nitro Guinness that was being introduced at this time.
Caps or cork? Personally I prefer Guinness Xtra Xtra Cold (TM) served with a little shamrock in the foam, which should occupy about half the Heineken glass it's served in. Also, stout is at its best when it's been flown or shipped around a bit to ~mature the flavours~, so ideally I'd be drinking it in Abu Dhabi or an American-themed bar in Dublin - but beggars can't be choosers.
Forgive my ignorance (can someone more knowledgeable confirm?) that the bottling was done at the pub and not the brewery? That Guinness was delivered to the pub in barrel, then bottled and cellar-aged for 14 days before serving? If so what traditions we've lost.
Yes. Guinness was shipped in barrel only. All bottling was done by the pub or some pubs would have the agency for Guinness and sell bottled stout to other pubs. Draught Guinness was amply the same stuff poured out of a barrel on the counter as far as I know.
@@darachmilner561 That clears up a big mystery. Some time ago I read that Guinness 'Original' or 'XX' would be what you drank in a pub before nitro draught came along, but as 'Original' is only ever bottled that never made sense. The idea that pre nitro Guinness could be served from barrel or bottle clears that up. I prefer bottled over nitro any day, but would love to go back and try it as it was before the crown cap. Cheers!
Glad to help. Here is a video of them pouring draft stout from the barrel back in the 60s. From what I have read and been told some pubs had to tasks. A “high and aa low“ . The high would be fairly fresh and quite lively while the other one will be net get quite flat. The poor would be a combination of the two.

Cork'll still last for decades with a perfect seal as long as it doesn't dry out. That being said I'm pretty sure a capped bottle dipped in wax would survive the apocalypse.
It must have been a very very very loooooong night in that pub, but the question had to be settled once and for all. Did everyone make it home to rest after these very long debates and tasting sessions when the sun rose again the following morning?
I've been drinking stout, Nadia 19 years Aaliyah 5 and Porter since I was one half years old. I lived with my Grandmother and Uncil for several years and I had forgotten that the bottles were corked, I also remember that as a very young child, I would wait until my uncle came home from work to open more bottles so I could my drink,, when he would remember he would uncork 3 tall bottles for me before he went to work. It was said in those days that Guness was good for you as it contained iron and was given to ill people hospitals
I think you'll find most wines are now sealed with a screw cap. Possibly not for "hygiene" but for economy. Corks are expensive in comparison and relatively harder to procure, much easier to seal a bottle with a screw cap in a production line. Plus spoilage is far less in screw caps, I've had a fair few "corked" bottles of wine, never had a "capped" bottle though. Probably purely a profit/automation and economy of scale decision. True Champaign producers may stick to corks as it's part of the story, the mystique of the product. Using cork for them may actually create more profit, or at least ensure longevity of the "brand" Here in Australia, I only partake of Guinness in a can as the bottled version tastes no where near as good. I believe the bottled version is produced, or at least bottled, locally and is no where near as good as the imported can with it's "widget" that ensures that marvelous head
@@iffracem The bottles of Guinness are "Guinness stout" were as the tins with the widget is the draught version, so they are both different products. The draught is superior in everyway, the nitrogen give you an amazing creamy texture.
Back in the Day, Similar thing Occurred in Australia. The Thing that Occurred was the Economy was Very Poor and there was an Overreliance, Oversupply from the Alcohol Industry. Much Harm came from this Economic Failure.
