The English, Welsh and Scottish also do the same. Also I guess the Yanks, and maybe some Mediterranean European countries also sit drinking wine in taverns during the day. Either way, it’s great fun regardless.
Don’t know if you’ve seen this before Before the 1960s, when Guinness adopted the current system of delivery using a nitrogen/carbon dioxide gas mixture, all beer leaving the brewery was cask-conditioned. Casks newly delivered to many small pubs were often nearly unmanageably frothy, but cellar space and rapid turnover demanded that they be put into use before they could sit for long enough to settle down. As a result, a glass would be part filled with the fresh, frothy beer, allowed to stand a minute, and then topped up with beer from a cask that had been pouring longer and had calmed down a bit.[83] With the move to nitrogen gas dispense in the 1960s, it was felt important to keep the two-stage pour ritual in order to bring better consumer acceptance of the modern nitrogen-based delivery. As Guinness has not been cask-conditioned for decades, the two-stage pour has been labelled a marketing ploy that does not actually affect the beer's taste.
Fun fact Kelly's Cellars was the meeting place for the United Irishmen and the planning of the 1798 Uprising. Another fun fact is that most of the leaders were Presbyterian like the great patriot Henry Joy McCracken whose goals were for an Independent Democratic Irish Republic.
Bittles was the best I've had above there last year! I left the place in an less than better state. Mothers Milk 🙌😍 Top class video man, keep it up 💪👍🏻
The art work in bittles is by joesy o kane, a local legend from the markets area not too far from bittles bar, he's my wife's uncle and has done me a few paintings of album covers that take pride of place on my chimney breast,, he's a genius
10:02 " what a life I live" man, it just hits harder, I left Ireland 3 years ago, and it's been 3 years that I don't have a pint of Guinness. I miss it so much, I think u can imagine.
Bittles has the ‘Grogan’s’ vibe going on, most of the others are popular show pubs like you said. Maddens is best pint and conversation in town for day drinking and they proved themselves in every way by dropping you to the door of a competitor.
Great stuff as always Guru. Interesting seeing the one part pour at the Hole in the Wall. Used to get it served like that at my regular in Glasgow and it never seemed to affect the quality. Seems to take a bit of skill to get it right every time that way though. Keep up the good work.
There’s 2 different brews of Guinness in the north. Some suppliers bring Guinness in from England, it’s brewed at 4.1% abv and the normal Irish brew at 4.2%. Unless you work for the pub or the supplier you won’t know which one you’re drinking.
My dream trip is to Belfast. Kelly's is 4 minutes straight up the street to where the ancestors lived and Bittle's only 10 minutes. I see if I every get over there I know these will be added to the schedule, but may have to make it over to Madden's as well. Cool video!
Can I suggest something under the radar? St Malachys College Old Boys Association on the Antrim Road. Hands down best Ive had outside of Dublin! Members club but happy to sign you in as Secretary lol
Do you think that maybe there's a bias toward pints you have later in the day because you've already had a few drinks beforehand and that helps take away the bitterness?
@@paulmcgrath6118 spot on Paul That's what happens me , when I have a few black out in suburbs it's top , but git city centre it's immediate muck and I then switch to beer sadly
what makes all these guiness different pub to pub beside price? i mean, im from the caribbean, we are accustomed to strong stout guiness, f. extra, 7.5. ?
Pity you missed The John Hewett as was closed on a Sunday, they do great food too. The Morning Star, The Garrick, Lavery’s and The 3 C’s also do a great pint, that’s at least 5 more places to try a pint on your next visit up. The Rex does a good pint too if you drop in on a peace wall tour
I love Belfast and can't wait to get back. You should of gone to the royal it's right next to the bus and train station. You are prob right about them being recommended for the place rather than the beer.
It’s called Bittles Bar, John Bittles is the owner and usually there and great craic, he’s a pure talking machine. If you like whiskey they’ve a serious range to choose from, the bottles they have on display is like whiskey heaven
@@Rankildinho Sorry my mistake with the name I’ll definitely be going when the North West 200 or the Ulster Grand Prix ( fingers crossed) is running again. I’m not really a whiskey drinker.
Great video only good problem is there's many a good and bad pint in Belfast. Would love to see a Belfast part 2 if you could. Especially do a few more pubs in North Belfast you will be again surprised at the quality of some pints
Yes they are definitely naming there favourite pubs , maybe when your out bar hoping pick 1 of the least recommended and add it in to the mix 😀 be a good show 👍🏾
how easy is it to get foreign extra in irish pubs? im from trinidad, im accustomed to out 7.5 apv stout. tried the draught the other day.......tasted water.
Most places that were recommended were very tourist heavy. Im from belfast and ive had great pints everywhere. PD in andytown is amazing, just never know really, anyway great video lad. Miss the belfast accent like. Adh mor from down under!
I heard somewhere that when Guinness switched in the 50s/60s? from the old casks to the nitrogenated draught we have now, they only kept the two part pour to keep the old punters happy. Otherwise apparently it makes no difference..
As far as looks go the pint in Bittles definitely looked the best. Head just at the top of the harp is perfect. Maddens doing well at £4 a pint. I'd rather have pints there than the place that is charging £5.
@@aroo9967 True, although the majority of the locals in my cork town that drink stout mostly Guinness for some reason, (in all the pubs in my town) . I do drink beamish or murphy's, with a preference for beamish when I visit the city .
Should have visited the Hercules Bar. Best pint of Guinness for me. Maddens took you to Bittles cos its the other side of town. Hercules is their competitor just around the corner. 😜
the fact belfast doesnt have a pub with guinness in the 9's is upsetting. if galway and dublin have places with magic pints, belfast deserves one too. duke of york (one of the coolest irish pubs youll ever walk into) is 6.9 shows how much belfast needs to up their game and theres alot of style over substance going on.
Good video. A lot of the ratings for Guinness online are based on user experience in the pubs, the craic, atmosphere etc. rather than actual taste. Guinness quality control is very tight before it leaves the gate. There will be tiny differences batch to batch, but the biggest contributer to taste difference is how long it's been in the keg. All beers change over time. If you had a fresh keg of Guinness and you drank a pink on day 1 and had another pint on day 10 from the same keg, it would taste slightly different. So, if you're used to drinking in a pub that turns over a lot of Guinness, you'll be used to tasting it fresh. I brew stouts at home, and the difference between my stouts on the day of kegging versus 10 days after, or ever 20 days after is very apparent. Fresh stouts tend to have more pronounced roasted coffee flavours, which smoothen out over days and weeks. Different people will have different preferences for stout. Some will rate it highly if the flavours are young and bold. Others will rate it highly if the flavours meld into a smoother drinking experience. I enjoy Guinness, but I'd be the first to admit for the real stout drinkers, Beamish is king. Flavours are far more robust, and linger in the throat for longer. There are pronounced flavours of coffee and toasted toasted notes. Guinness is brewed to be lighter for more mass appeal, and to be fair it has gained a wide audience. Try the taste challenge..in this exact order...drink a pint of Beamish, then follow with a pint of Guinness. You'll be surprised to find that Guinness tastes watery and quite flavourless by comparison. Just try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Was up in Belfast from Dublin today .Lots of people had the same idea .The train was fairly full .That first pub Kellys had a reasonable pint but had a rather small head from the get go .Your assessment was spot on .They charge £5.27 which i thought rather high .The Maddens does look nice inside and they do have a small outdoor seating area .The pint just £4 but they do not take Debit cards so i had to pass on that ,as i do not carry Sterling currency .B.T.W Wetherspoons Bridge st charge just £3.65 for a pint of Guinness and its ok .
I was in shopping the other day (I live in Belfast) and I swear I heard more Irish accents than Belfast accents so I think everyone had the same idea 😂 are your restrictions worse/behind down there?
@@Courtneyburns90 Yes ,the bars down here in the South closed up just before St.Patricks day 2020.They were closed since but just this month opened for outdoor service only .Early next Month July they are expected to be allowed open to indoor service.Lots of take away food places are still closed but some are open for a take away service.The Cloths shops opened up again only quite recently .

Got one of my worst pints in Kellys Cellar, got it at opening, so guessing it was the first poured of the day (my friends said theres were fine). But decent most of the time I've been there.
I always went to a bar called rotterdam on the weekend when i was younger like 14 years ago it was the best craic but i couldnt tell you how good the pints were we were always drunk by the time we made it there lol it was a metal bar its closed down now, and sometimes we would of went to the capstans near the town hall beside gamestop
Missed some of the best places for a Guinness, there’s a few good social clubs dishing out smashing pints, if that’s not your thing.. Try The Spaniard ( very often my fav place for a Guinness ) McHughs def up there with the best
