Agreed but I know many pubs where there is a long distance between them and the pints are still good. But generally all pubs where the distance is short have good pints.
Also vibrations from the speakers would effect the lines in a nightclub/function room as well
That seems a bit odd to me.
âŚthe glasses and the temperature of the coolers would also have a bearingâŚ
As long as Guinness comes in what I would call an ordinary glass then there is no problem.
Temperature of course has a bearing as has the gas level used for the taps.

I would like to do a thesis on this.

I have heard similar to Puke on the vibration effect on Guinness. One story goes that the Guinness is better in Dublin because it spends less time being shook up in a lorry while being transported.

If a pint doesnât come in a Guinness pint glass it shouldnât be drank. A barman should be given 40 lashes if he serves a pint in a Carlsberg or Heineken glass for example.
Agreed if it comes in those weird glasses but I have no problem if it comes in those non descript glasses that are roughly the same shape as the Guinness glass.
I have to say that Iâve gotten fairly good pints in Dublin in fairness. The Southcourt Hotel in Limerick has twelve pints in the line before they come out. It is poison. The lines are the length of a soccer pitch at least
Ya, I am sceptical enough of it too. Rintintin convinced a fella in the pub one night that they still sail the gunniess to america in sail boats as opposed to regular ships because the vibration from the ships engines ruin the guinness.
You can tell how good a barman is by the glass he gives you, nothing but guinness should ever be placed in a Guinness glassâŚBut some cunts donât give a fuck and they will fuck anything into itâŚBut it is not just the guinness glass, if the glass hasnât dried properly after coming out of the washer be it still wet or warm it can effect the quality of the pint pulled into itâŚ
I was in the States a few years back and hadnât had a Guinness in about 2 weeks so I decided when I landed in Chicago Iâd have a pint that night. So I sat at the hotel bar and asked for a pint of Guinness. I was then asked if I wanted a 6oz or 12oz http://www.thefreekick.com/vbforum/images/icons/icon9.gif
The Guinness glass is fairly standard though, as in it has no distinctiveness about it. Unlike the Heineken or Carlsberg ones. If I got a pint of Heineken in a Guinness glass I wouldnât be too bothered but I would be if I got a pint of Guinness in a Heineken glass.
Ah pint hottles of Huinness are the value, I know of very few pubs in Dublin that donât stock them! I also recommend finding an off licence that does Guinness Foreign Export in bottles, this stuff is 330mls of 7% beauty.
Otherwise known as a tourist glass. Real drinkers wouldnât be caught dead drinking out of one of these. Next time you ask for a Guinness ask for it in a straight glass, ie a nonic glass. If the barman looks puzzled or the establishment doesnât have these glassâs youâll know your in a shithole.
