Get yourself over to Robinson’s Brewery in Stockport, near Manchester Airport & try Pitch Stout. I was a Guinness Gurgler for 30 years until I tasted Pitch. It’s lush, creamy & very quaffable. Enjoy, Dude!👍🏻 Slainte 🍻
As a craft beer guy, I love it when a brewpub will have something similar to X, Y, or Z’s macro brewed beer. Some of my friends are not interested in a beer you can chew or as some say, “that dark shit”. Giving them an alternative like this allows us to frequent more establishments.
The prices in the Cork Brewdog are wild as well, and without all those multi billion dolla companies around the place. I love Brewdog cans but wouldn't be going there for a pint
It's a premise that brewdog have positioned themselves as premium and charge premium prices for their product. We see it for pizza, burgers etc. It's done usually under the guise of super premium hard to find ingredients but they aren't at all. I'm sure they include the 'experience' in their prices too.
Fair play to you. I sort of expected you to just trash this for not being Guiness but your review feels very genuine. For me, I am more of a craft beer type person and whilst I am not all that keen on the majority of Brewdogs current beers I actually think they nailed this one. Personally I would take it over Guiness but to each his own as they say! As I write this you can pick it up for 4 for £4 in Tesco which is excellent value too.
(Not an Irish stout but I’ll let that pass!) I’ve just tried this at a Brewdog in Edinburgh. It’s actually pretty drinkable and a good stout in it’s own right.
The maddest thing, is the location really. I am a scouser, legitimately incredibly stoned. However, I am stoned off of hash. And I've always said a lovely, proper hash joint goes so nice with a guinness. The flavour of hash and proper hash, not nasty shit you take a lighter to lol, Frenchy Cannoli hash, proper hash. That's the same as is in guinness like lol you just know you've got something really nice to enjoy. A mad red wine sauce with this chicken with bacon, that has mad herbs on top lol how they complement eachother. When weed is eventually legalised, the hash and pint of Guinness combination amongst older people (I'm 34), in Liverpool pubs needs to be documented. Men on the street, who drink Guinness and smoke weed in Liverpool. There really are so many of us.
You are very straight talking which I quite like none of this rubbish about the what it's like on the nose, haven't tried this new stout from BD yet always prefered The Porter from Anspach & Hobday.
I Used to love Makeson years ago.. sweeter than Guiness .. i like guiness too , Beamish and Murphys also.. Coming from the Midlands in England we used to drink a lot of Draught Mild and Manns Brown Ale... Dark Beers and Stouts Are the best ..
Brewdog's work culture and the CEO's actions have often experienced negative press and rightly so. That combined with creating a highly expensive, boring & characterless chain of pubs is good enough reason to never drink there. Save your cash for the real pubs lads.
True story. Craft beer pubs on every corner here in the US. And w 100+ locations globally it hardly qualifies. Corporate’craft’ beer. What I wouldn’t give to have what you have in Eire. Support your local pubs!!
Supping a couple of cans of this now.... First impressions, not too dissimilar to Guinness. After taste more noticeable. Decent, but not as moreish as Guinness, which I think I'll prefer on a Sunday while I'm cooking the roast.
Might be different from draft but just having a can now and it tastes like so many other "craft" stouts it's nice but definitely prefer Guinness. I'll have to try draught though
If you ever get to Sydney Australia they are really into there micro breweries..Most evenings they are packed and do some amazing nitro stouts.Normal pubs get the regular punters then you have to worry about how clean there pumps and tubes are..in the micro breweries they commit to making the drinks right there and don’t have to bother with what’s being shipped in .
In the UK the packaging in the shops say it wasn’t created in 1759 what if it’s better ? The reviews are coming in positive and here in the uk the price for a four pack is only £5 Guinness is £4:75p. Love the glass looks like a winner nice one cheers 👍🍻
Haha was visiting Dublin a few months ago and literally sat on that exact table you were on. Black heart definitely has more complexity than Guinness. Pint of Guinness tastes pretty watery compared. Guess that’s the point of Guinness tho because it means you can sink pint after pint no problem.
Every brewdog pub looks like it’s just survived a fire and most of their customers have 10mm washers in their ear lobes. I’ve enjoyed a few of their beers from Tesco but the above can put you off. Give me an old man boozer and Guinness every day of the week
I've got to try it ! Here in England, back in the day I preferred Beamish to Guinness, sadly it hasn't been available over here for many years ☹️ I do have the occasional draught Guinness ! However I prefer Guinness original (sadly no longer available bottle conditioned) 😂 and love Guinness West Indies porter !
@@darrenmiller8477Ditto. Get yourself to Belfast, a fair few pubs have Beamish on tap! Personally I'd not drank it since the 2000s until I went to Belfast 😊
Brewdog don't hide the fact they want to take on Guinness - they acknowledge outside of Ireland there's really very little competition. Might see the odd place with Murphy's so that's what they want to fill. Same with their lager, they even use Heineken in their business updates - they want to outsell them. Ultimately there isn't the money in being solely craft beer, Brewdog have owners (TSG) that require certain levels of growth, if these aren't being met it'll come from the business. They play the whole craft card but really James Watt only cares about selling books.
You’ve got to try Sam Smith’s stout. On tap of course. If there was one stout which could top Guinness for you, it could be that. In case you don’t know what Sam Smiths are, it’s a Yorkshire brewery which own their own pubs, serving only their beer. They’re dotted all over but dunno if there are any in Ireland. There are plenty in Yorkshire and London. If you’re in London though, do NOT go to Ye Olde Cheshire cheese. I do not know whats going on there but the last few times I’ve been it, the stout was terrible.
There are UK pubs that don’t have Guinness, but I’d say most do. It’s definitely the beer you see most often here. Just one of the ways Irish culture enriches ours!
@@raftonpounder6696 If there are GB pubs that don't have Guinness, it follows that there are UK pubs that don't have Guinness. GB pubs form a subset of UK pubs.
@@baerlauchstal yes but there are no pubs in Northern Ireland without Guinness so if there are pubs in GB without Guinness, that doesn’t mean there are pubs in the UK without Guinness. Only GB. Not UK.
I rate Paul, seems like a nice guy but i feel like everything with Brewdog is tricky, it isn't craft beer and I think it slightly harms the craft beer market when a company like Brewdog comes in attempting to market themselves as that as it diminishes the amount of work and difficulties actual craft breweries face. Plus, all drama to do with the treatment of staff, idk as much as a beer might be alright, there will always be a bad taste
Always find their pints easy to drink, just sweet. Like it’s got some extra sugar in it. If that makes sense. Maybe that’s why so expensive, the sugar tax
Brewdog aren't using lactose in every beer, lactose wouldn't work in every beer, only certain styles and because lactose is considered an allergen it needs to be highlighted just like wheat and malted barley are. Maybe the other adjuncts they use make them seem sweeter like the clockwork tangerine beer, that has an extract added, it's almost perfumy and let's be honest, fake tasting. It's like tangerine essential oils.
Can I suggest that you try London Black, from the Anspach and Hobday brewery. It’s going down well in London, and it is starting to spread throughout the UK. I think you might quite like it……
Tried one for the first time in Birmingham a few days ago, would drink Murphys b4 black heart all day long & wouldn't drink Murphys ahead of Guinness or Beamish ever.
Problem I've had asking my locals to bring in another stout on tap is that no one will even try it, they will only drink Guinness and it wouldn't sell.
Get yourself over to Noctors in Sheriff Street. The Guinness is like Mothers Milk. Nula and Derek would look after you over there. Would love to hear what you think about the Guinness there, hear nothing but great things about it!
Camera is focussing just fine, it's just not focussing where you want it to, understanding the focusing mode you're using and how to control depth of field with the lens aperture helps you to control this and get the shot to look exactly as you want it to, sorry it's what happens when a photographer watches a review video! 🤣 I haven't had Black Heart on draught yet, but at home I prefer it to Guinness, and I don't keep it in the fridge either as if it's too cold you get less head and flavour, so right now I keep it in a brick shed in my garden which isn't heated so nice and cool inside like a cellar.
Not a patch on Guinness. I had to laugh at their marketing campaign telling Guinness to move over the new boys are in town. Theres no chance brew dog will still be going 250 years later
I’m a Guinness drinker from across the pond, a Newfoundlander to be exact, all I have available to me is the 440 ml cans. I’ve a question for you about how to deal with cans that have a failed nitrogen ball.
@@mygigs I’ve had it happen more then once. Or I’ve been assuming that was the problem. Open the can and there’s nothing going on , no “fizz” I’ll call it, and no sound. And then the kicker, just a flat pour, no head 🤷♂️
@@davemercer-xp1vi are you in the United States? Those 440ml cans are potentially manufactured in Baltimore? The ones I've had produced in Ireland have never had a failed widget in my experience but honestly see can you get the nitro surge device and see does that make a difference, it should.
@@oscarosullivan4513 better bar staff and Guinness looked after better. You only have to look at shitlondonguinness to see the muck they try to serve here.
Prefer it on hand pump, some Greene King houses in the UK sell it as it's part of their group. Tins don't have a Guinness type "widget" in them but I've just had 24 tins an was a bit disapointed as not all the "widgets" they use went off?
What is your opinion on Guinness in the bottle? I'm sure you've talked about this before, but I honestly have just thought of this in my head as I was watching this video, thanks.
You lost me at Brewdog. Such an awful company. I went into their place in Bristol and it is not in an expensive area and after ordering I had to take out another mortgage to cover the cost. They are all hype and no bollocks.
Not at all, the price the publican gets a local keg at is comparable with the bigger brand names. The issue with price is what you're being charged for it, not what its going to the publican at.
@@nickc1 no it doesn't make any sense, the 'hard pressed publican' treats local beer as the more expensive 'fancy' product that 'no one has any interest in' and charges a significant premium for when in fact it's as comparable in cost to macro offerings while using better ingredients and creating local employment and is done on a smaller scale. Funny thing is if you get people who drink macro lager to try a local lager they will love it. Small scale operations aren't the ones ripping of customers, publicans are and while not all do, more are getting better at giving over tap space to local beers. Also, tourists LOVE seeing local beer, they have no interest in a Heineken or moretti or Coors or rockshore while in county Laois on a day trip
Not tried this black heart, but all other brewdog beers taste identical (crap) only one that was ok was the elvis juice one but could only tackle a few cans at most of them.
The reason Guinness doesn't smell much of anything is it's served too cold and the nitro head on it prevents any possible aroma from escaping, these are basics of beer
Serving temperature affects all beers. Should a Coors and moretti be served at the same temperature as Guinness? It mutes all aroma and flavours, THATS why lads are able to sink pints of Guinness fast. If the pints were warmer by 2-4°c you wouldn't see them as popular.
Kind of shocked that Darragh didn't know Brewdog was a major international operation! Devoted to the Guinness sure
Especially as they are everywhere in the UK and he’s done quite a few UK videos. They were nearly bought by Heineken last year I think
I live in China and you can find them in most bars - mental
I figured he tends not to do any research going anywhere...good or bad depending how ya look at it.

You lost me at Brewdog. Such an awful company. I went into their place in Bristol and it is not in an expensive area and after ordering I had to take out another mortgage to cover the cost. They are all hype and no bollocks.
And why are all these microbreweries all called “___ dog”. Buncha tools
Agreed I had two pints of Brehon Brewhouse Ulster Black Oatmeal stout at 5% ABV on cask lovely simple beer.
I’m surprised he said gunnness only use hop extract? Surly not ? If your drinking a beer you would expect hops to be in it at least
I like craft beer but the price there is crazy.
Not at all, the price the publican gets a local keg at is comparable with the bigger brand names. The issue with price is what you're being charged for it, not what its going to the publican at.
@@mygigs makes no sense
@@nickc1 no it doesn't make any sense, the 'hard pressed publican' treats local beer as the more expensive 'fancy' product that 'no one has any interest in' and charges a significant premium for when in fact it's as comparable in cost to macro offerings while using better ingredients and creating local employment and is done on a smaller scale. Funny thing is if you get people who drink macro lager to try a local lager they will love it. Small scale operations aren't the ones ripping of customers, publicans are and while not all do, more are getting better at giving over tap space to local beers. Also, tourists LOVE seeing local beer, they have no interest in a Heineken or moretti or Coors or rockshore while in county Laois on a day trip
@@mygigs Add to that larger breweries bribe publicans to keep smaller independents products out
@@mygigs My local sells independent smaller breweries beer for the same price as a macro
I was actually in there on Saturday to compare it to Guinness in Dublin, it is nowhere near as good as Guinness and I’m a craft beer drinker
Agreed Brewdog put more money to stunts than brewing and paying staff
Not tried this black heart, but all other brewdog beers taste identical (crap) only one that was ok was the elvis juice one but could only tackle a few cans at most of them.
The reason Guinness doesn't smell much of anything is it's served too cold and the nitro head on it prevents any possible aroma from escaping, these are basics of beer
Serving temperature affects all beers. Should a Coors and moretti be served at the same temperature as Guinness? It mutes all aroma and flavours, THATS why lads are able to sink pints of Guinness fast. If the pints were warmer by 2-4°c you wouldn't see them as popular.
Guinness hits my sensitive teeth
He said a lot of pubs over here in the UK Don't stock Guiness?? i have never been in a pub over here that doesn't .... WTF??
What happened to Murphy's?
Left hand nitro stout, change your life.
