    The bottle is supposed to be drunk without pouring it into a glass, that also chnages the taste

      Very true! We address that in a follow up video here ruclips.net/video/svNfNpfAIuk/видео.html Its really a shame since it eliminates the aroma from the equation which is such an integral part of guinness Draught for us.

    The bitterness from the bottle comes from the roasted malts not the hops. Both are great for different reasons. Both fantastic brews!

    Totally agree. Can wins for me by a mile ; ) It has everything that makes Guinness special and unique. Nitrogen is powerful ; ) Sometimes the can is better than a pub...depending on the pub ; )

    @stanh24 4 месяца назад +1

    It’s the same beer recipe, but obviously the nitrogen in the can is going to provide an appearance and mouthfeel much closer to Guinness on tap.
    The best Guinness I ever had was from a bottle, but that impression might’ve been influenced by the fact that I’d just finished a six hour bike ride!

    • @BeerBrackets
      @BeerBrackets  4 месяца назад +2

      I did a 4 hour bike ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls last summer and the beer at the end of that rainbow definitely tasted like the best I’ve ever had in the moment haha so it’s possible that had an effect. That being said, Guinness is delicious in all packaging formats so who knows.

    Great video gents! I prefer from the can, with the widget it's so creamy.
    Did you ever see the "surger" system? It was the only way to get a Guinness with a good head when I was living in Japan since they don't usually have it on draught.

  • @WhiskyLock
    @WhiskyLock 3 года назад +4

    Really interesting comparison! I haven't done this head to head but I do generally preferred bottled beer but then I also tend to like less carbonation. It would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on can vs bottle but poured quicker (or through some sort of nozzle) to give the bottled beer more of a head. Cheers!

    • @BeerBrackets
      @BeerBrackets  3 года назад +1

      That's a great suggestion! We actually just posted a follow-up video where we reveal the proper way to drink bottled Guinness, which affects the comparison a little bit. Doesn't change our opinion on it in any way, but could result in another head to head down the line.

    Very late commenting on this. But when i was in college in Dublin in the 90s these came out ... and the idea was that you drank from the bottle. So that it tasted and felt fairly like draught Guinness ... but you didn't see that there was no creamy head. Drank a lot of them at games and festivals etc

    • @BeerBrackets
      @BeerBrackets  2 месяца назад

      It's so interesting because people here have no idea. Then again, it's not that easy to find them. The cans are definitely more popular. I guess it goes to show you should always read the beer instructions on the packaging.

  • @roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855
    @roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855 3 года назад +4

    With CO2 making a weak acid in water, could it be that it’s that which makes it bitter while the nitrogen is inert and adds nothing to the flavour?

    My impression the bottle cud used to drink from the bottle if you love Guinness and you head out to do outdoor stuff few bottles in a cold box with ice in the box could be the way to save you bringing a glass for the can.

  • @gragall78
    @gragall78 3 года назад +1

    What's funny is not so long ago you could only get Guinness in a bottle and it was pulled straight off the shelf and that's the way it was consumed, if you talk to the older generation they say you drank it at room temperature to enjoy all the aroma. Not sure that would work today especially when most pubs give 2 choices, cold or ice cold.

    You can't really compare Guinness between cans and bottles until you get a widget bottle. And I have to say as a dark stout beer I prefer the non-widget Guinness bottle to the widgeted Guinness can.

      There’s actually nitrogen in the bottles, but you need to drink the beer straight out of the bottle and not pour it to get the effect. Kinda defeats the purpose of a Guinness in our opinion.
