  • Where To Drink The Best Pints Of Guinness In London

Old-Dutch

Not the same, mate.

The thing with these cans, whether draft or nitro, is that you’re never going to get a pint like that from a quality pub. A good pint of black is creamy rather than thin and watery like a lager.

The jewellery cleaners, toothbrushes etc fizz the can to a certain extent, as do the nitrosurger but its next to impossible to get a proper pub quality pint. There’s a twitter page showing all of the shit pints of black all over the UK. A good pint from a nitrosurger will better a shit, watery pint from a hardly used tap in a pub.

      Hursty

      Worth a few quid buying one if you like Guinness, mate.

        Grim price, millsy. You can get a bargain in tesco where they’re only 13 quid. 15 in my local off licence ffs.

          I have been smashing Guinness back at a rate of knots recently.

          All whilst thinking ’dere’s more to Oireland dan dis.'

          -si-

          Hearing you mate. Have a beer tap at home and it pisses on most pubs if I’m being honest

                -si- I think they are pretty good, definitely much better than the poxy draught cans of Guinness, we were in Liverpool last weekend and the scaldy hotel bar had the sliver original nitro cans that went on sale in the uk first and I have to say the nitro surge gold cans are much nicer/ smoother, hard to beat a proper pint in a pub mind.

                  A couple of years ago I ended up in some boozer on the Holloway Road. Problem is I have little to no memory of it, but I do recall the Guinness being fine. We played darts. I know that. And we left without our heads being kicked in, which I also remember feeling was an accomplishment.

                  You’re welcome Sir, let me know if you fancy meeting for one or two and ledging the bants in person!

                      Guinness is shite. There, I’ve said it. It’s actually a Protestant brewery that started it - that’ll definitely fuck off the Irish lads. Luckily, I don’t care.

                      Had a lovely pint in the Coach and Horses. A decent drop and the ‘slightly run down old mans pub’ ambience works well.

                      Good to see that Amps hasn’t worked out that there are around 258 pubs in London called the coach and horses!

                        Smallman1 it’s the one in covent garden - just down from the opera house i think - nice pint.
