Mulligans of Poolbeg Street in Dublin serves ( served???) the best Guinness in the world. I left Ireland some thirty years ago and have sampled Guinness from Shanghai to Vancouver to Mexico and a lot of places in between. Maybe it’s the freshness or the way it’s handled but the last time, a few years ago, that I was in Dublin, Mulligans still served the ultimate pint.

Good luck with getting Guinness to sell you rights to their recipe! You must have very deep pockets. Mind you if I ever get to Astana, I would love to drop by for a pint.

I made my first trip to Ireland about two weeks ago, and had my first ever Guinness at a bar in Omagh from the tap. I haven’t tried a Guinness since I’ve been home, but its good to see that some of you have gotten just as good a pint in the states as you have had in other places, including Ireland.

I was expecting it to be a bit bitter to harsh in flavor, since it is so dark. Don’t get me wrong, I love dark beers on occassion, but some just don’t do it for me.

My Guinness was very smooth and flavorful. I’m a new fan of Guinness and will be giving more pints a go in the future.

i agree. in the past month i have had several guinnesses in dublin, london, and variouse u.s. locations. as long as the temp was proper, there did not seem to be a difference. i did have one that was very different in london, but i realized that they pull me a pint of extra cold (not a fan, although i think it would make it in the u.s.)

[...] of all, it does taste better over there, as anyone who has taken a tour of the Guinness factory knows. They make it there. [...]

A fresh pint, served at proper temperature, tastes the same everywhere. Thers is no best place to drink it. It’s all about the real conditions. If you create psychological conditions, you imagine a difference. That is where most differences come from, the head.

Just got back from Ireland last night and drank a Guinness Draught poured from a can at O’Hare Airport to compare to the taste of true draught Guinness poured in an Irish pub. The can version is vapid, gutted, and lacking in body and flavor. The Irish pub version is flavorful and creamy. No comparison!

Boline.. nice to see you have developed a nightly system but fresh water alone will not remove ‘hard’ deposits left in the line which over time will suffocate the flow and sour the taste. lines for Guinness should be cleaned once a week with proper line cleaning detergent and flushed with fresh water. the shorter the line the better the draw also and BOC gases in dublin fit all pubs with the correct C02/Nitrogen mix at the correct pressure to make a creamy Guinness. Temp is vital as well. It is this mixture of rules enforced by Guinness reps that ensures a better pint in Irish bars.. particulary ons close to James Gate.. The Keg serves the most delicious pint (a lot of Guinness staff drink there )

Just came back from Dublin (first time there) and I am from England.

Wow, the Dublin Guinness is awesome, I reckon I could drink 10 pints in 30 minutes its that nice. Creamy, tasty, and doesnt make you bloated like lager.

100000% better than UK guinness….

I have developed a line cleaning system for all beers and stouts which is operated electrically behind the bar .It can be used to clean the lines after each days drinking.It purges the line of all its beer flushing it out with water leaving it ready for next day’s consumption. It is the beer left in the line which gives that sour taste to a pint.

The freshest beer I’ve ever had was the one I brewed last week.
