Went to Brussels for a friend's 21st birthday many years ago. Made the mistake of attacking the beers there as though we were back at home. That was an eye-opening experience into what damage strong beer can do! Would have recommended you try some of the darker beers - Rochefort 10, or Chimay Bleu for example. And Kwak, for the experience of the crazy glass!
Not a major shift from the previous format of the vidoes ( nothing wrong with that ) but you said you were bored of. Vlog came across a bit unsure as to what its actually portraying if im being honest. if the new angle is from a Travel vlog perpsective i dont think theres a whole lot to take from it. Learned nothing really about Brussells and could have been any city in Europe. Again if its a travel vlog then it would probs best to stay there and maybe steer the audience on best places to stay, eat, drink for the best prices etc. Cool tips like that along with the content and not some lad flying in for a few hours reviewing 3 pints and bouncing. Not that theres anything wrong with that!! But just if you were looking for any kinda feedback. Im sure it will go from strength to strength!
Off to a good start, would be interesting to see a bit of the traveling side to the locations as well, bits at the airports etc beers of the world unite. 🍻
I always thought making your channel alcohol based rather than just guinness based would be much better. If it all goes well, it would be nice to see more pub/nightspots reviews in different countries.
Enjoyed the different video mate, I’d particularly be keen to see some stouts and porter from places you visit, though majority will be very “craft” I have no doubt your taste will grow for them, it did me big time.. I love Guinness so much, I’ve got a trip to Dublin booked next week for it even, but I’ve learned there is so much good quality stuff out there to be found.
It is great to see you on this new format. Going beyond Guinness and seeing other aspects of the beer scene is really pleasant. When abroad, I think it is great for you to visit Irish pubs and see how relevant they are. Perhaps there is the opportunity to pay homage to your previous content on Guinness. Some improvements on the sound would be great as there was a lot of background noise and your voice did not come out very clearly. Keep up with the work!
Ever since I visited Ireland, I’ve been enjoying going to Irish pubs here in France as they take me back to Dublin and Kilkenny. Seeing you review Irish pub would be very fun.
Was a casual viewer watching your Guinness vids and did watch them with mild fascination about the different qualities of Guinness around the isles, but this new format is much better imo. Far less niche and broader. Not only get to see different beers being tried and rated around Europe but a bit of sight seeing and additional Craic. Good move diversifying content 👍🏻 Subbed
Great video - seemed liberating as you said so that makes for great content..... Be great to see some airport clips as part of it - I know that's not main attraction of the videos abroad but gives round picture for anyone else travelling over too
I'm all for the change! You should have gone to Bruges, so many great bars and beers there. I'd love if you extended the videos a bit talking about the locations you go to a bit more!
Good work from the Oirish fella as always... shame Belgium got bloody expensive...went there a few times in the 90s/noughties for the great beer...not any more alas
Just a recommendation, I think you should keep the name Guru and that way you can open yourself up to everything you want to do 🙌 Great brand name, and people will recognise but not sure if it's something you've decided on already, just wanted to give me thoughts. Great video, good to see you looking relaxed it really comes through. You're on the right path buddy. 👏
Greets from Germany Daragh...and stay as you are✌I'll drink a Guinness on it...because I have "learned" everything from you about what I have to look out for.😉😁
Very good. What about a brief cost breakdown at the end incl food&drink, transport and flights etc to give us an idea of what would be the spend for 1 day.
During a battle in the Middle Ages, the infant son of the Duke of Brabant stood up in his cradle (which was in a tree overlooking the battle) and pissed in ze enemy’s general direction! The battle was won by the Duke’s side, and a statue of the boy was erected in the nearest village. Later Brussels copied the statue. And that is how we got Manneken Pis.
Like the change up man. One question that’s always asked of people is, “where was good to go”. Usually for nightlife and holiday craic. Might be something to look into, but enjoying the new direction. Best of luck man 🍀
If you’re looking for somewhere else to go for a beer related visit, Cologne has this Kolsch beer that’s served everywhere. Pretty different experience how they serve it to anything I’ve had
Funnily enough, I was on holiday in Brussels when this was posted! (I live in the UK) Must have missed you by a day or two 😂 Cracking little Guinness-less video. 🍺
Enjoyed this mate. Looking forward to your new content. A few things I’d say is maybe make it a bit longer as this had a bit of a rushed feel to it. Include more footage of your overall journey including the airport etc, as well as places you’d recommend going. Would definitely watch more videos of you going other places though! All the best pal
Been watching the channel for a year or so and have to say, this video felt like a breath of fresh air, good vibe all around. I'd be delighted to see more free form content of general beer and bar stuff, or really, whatever you feel like doing. I watch the videos because i find you and your personality entertaining, not just the Guinness. Keep up the great work, have an above average day or night, cheers from Michigan USA! -Pat
Ahh now you missed out on the best Belgian beers, and top tip - they do not drink pints in Belgium. Pintjes (half pints) are the standard, would definitely recommend a trip to Antwerp or Ghent to try more 👌🏻
From Cork, I used to live in Bruges for a long time in my 20s. I used to only drink shite cans of Lager. Ive drank over 350 different beers just from Belgium alone. Usually Belgian Ales should be served from 6-8 degrees. 9euro is steep for a Pint of Delium. Then again the cafe is a tourist trap. Now only issue I ever have had since coming back to Ireland was the quality watered down lagers and of course the prices. At leased ive some serious Creamy Beamies at home.
Cracking new video lad! Was in Delierium bar Brussels last week with work. You should try the cherry beer called Kriek they do if you get over there again. Unbelievable
Happy to see a cheeky bonus Guinness review in there. Very sessionable Duval made me laugh. Google the 10 duval challenge. One for your next video maybe.Anyway. Nice work Tom 👍
If you go to antwerp?have a drink in the main train station bar upstairs,it's got great decor.i worked in Belgium a few times,i just stuck with the Jupiler.if a bar cooks food can open 24 hrs(well in 2003 it was),we would often be in these places at the weekend,but Antwerp centre dodgy for pickpockets and worse at night near station.
Hi Tom 😅you should put the cost of your trip so that some of us can see if its do able for ourselves. Price of flight if u paid priority boardin and that craic and with which airline, hotel if u ever stay in one, local transport, price of beer and food etc. Good first video. Keep em comin
Enjoyed that format. Dilirium would always recommend their own brewed stuff, so that made sense. Shame the other place offered a blonde too. They're very serious on their glassware out there, Kwak being one of the more interesting ones as a darker beer would've been interesting to hear your thoughts on that one.
Haha, you didnt just order a pint of delirium! 100% tourist newb vibe. Good luck with the new direction on your channel. Enjoyed it the last couple years and the tips on good places from you
Been in Belgium for 2.5 years now, not real big on the popular Belgian beers. However, Brussels has some really nice smaller brewers check out Brasserie de la Senne (they have a great stout - Stouterik) and Brussels Beer Project has some nice beers too, especially enjoy the Delta IPA. Outside of Brussels, De Ranke makes a nice saison. Brasserie {C} in Liege kicks out some good brew as well, including a massive stout, so big 8% and huge flavour, its fun to try but a little too much for my tastes.

Loving the new style Tom. You couldn’t resist a pint of Guinness could you nice one transitioning us in 👍 I love Belgium beer ,always have some in the fridge for a lovely night cap. Loved the old video style but I’m loving this travel style. Will be great to see what you think about other styles of beer and love seeing where you’re visiting. Definitely exited for future vids you’ve definitely made the correct decision I think the channel will grow even bigger now. Nice one cheers 🍻👍
Well done on the new direction. Would like you to give us a little bit more info on the sites you see otherwise it’ll turn into reviewing a beer or two and a lunch and it therefore would become very repetitive. 👍
Love the style of video man! I'm actually very familiar with belgian beers. They are strong thus usually not served in pints. A normal serving would be 330mls. The double fermentation adds to the alcohol. Brugge is the place to be if you're a fan of them beers as they've got a greater variety and serve them at a way cheaper price. a 330ml serving of delirium would cost you approximately 3 euros.
I know you said you stopped with the Guiness videos and bad timing at that, there is a new pub in Belfast just opened, a guiness only pub and it does a cracking pint! Would have loved to seen a review...
And the first non guinness focused video is brilliant!
It was dead

Hey Tom, I enjoyed the new format. Very watchable. Cheers.
Belgium is all about the Trappist beer. Seems like a long journey to drink 2 extremely popular Belgium beers.
Agree, shoulda sourced out westvleteren
“It’s a boiling hot day here in Belgium, so here i am eating a stew” - ya mad man 😂
Not really, we Belgians don't let the weather decide what we shall eat either.

You know Guinness bottles a stronger brew for the Belgian market. It's awesome you'll have to try it Tom
You should come to Norway! And make a video about the most expensive beer in the world 😅
Well done big fella, first one out the way, onwards & upwards.

Good man Daragh love the new direction all the very best from Canada!
Great video - seemed liberating as you said so that makes for great content..... Be great to see some airport clips as part of it - I know that's not main attraction of the videos abroad but gives round picture for anyone else travelling over too
Enjoyed that mate. I like the informal approach, minimal verbal explanations of stuff and more just ‘look at this’, ‘look at that’ method.
I'm all for the change! You should have gone to Bruges, so many great bars and beers there. I'd love if you extended the videos a bit talking about the locations you go to a bit more!
Loved Belgium. Delirium in Brussels is a great bar but i had the best beer of my life in Bruges though, lovely place called ‘De Garre’.
Good work from the Oirish fella as always... shame Belgium got bloody expensive...went there a few times in the 90s/noughties for the great beer...not any more alas
Best of luck with the videos going forward, a new chapter 💪💪
Luved it Daragh! Live life have fun cheers👍😊
nice 1 Daragh glad you still rated the pint👍

You seem much more relaxed here matey, a change for the better. You could have drunk better Belgian beers but that's not the point is it, good stuff!
The goal should always be to drink better beer :) otherwise what is the point ey.

And that is how we got Manneken Pis.
The travel vlogs are going to take off!
Nice vid. I’m glad u got the drone up before hitting the duvel, that could have been MIA. 👍🍺
Thought that was informative and very funny. The next new travel man.
Like the change up man. One question that’s always asked of people is, “where was good to go”. Usually for nightlife and holiday craic. Might be something to look into, but enjoying the new direction. Best of luck man 🍀
Just been to Krakow.... Amazing place, Polski pub in the main square 👍
Daragh my boy, show us the beers of Europe and beyond. Good vlog and commentary. Keep it up.
If you’re looking for somewhere else to go for a beer related visit, Cologne has this Kolsch beer that’s served everywhere. Pretty different experience how they serve it to anything I’ve had
Great video man surprised how well the change is going, you’re the man
Fairplay for taking the leap and changing up the content boss, liking the new shtuff keep her lit
What a video. Keep up the beer relevant videos cruising around. What a start to your new approach to content! 👍🏼🍻
Very good mate , look forward to more adventure 👍
enjoyed the new city vlog . great stuff
Enjoyed the new content mate. Wouldn’t be opposed to a good 25 minute vid that covers more of the City and Food etc!
Funnily enough, I was on holiday in Brussels when this was posted! (I live in the UK)
Must have missed you by a day or two 😂
Cracking little Guinness-less video. 🍺

Enjoyed the video mate! Slightly different to usual but still enjoyable! Keep it rollin and I’ll look forward to the next 1
My daughter lives there should stay the night it’s good craic there , I think one of the group u2 owns that o sheas pub
Great first video of the new era. Be interested to see the total costs of these one day trips!
Awesome congrats on your first new vid guru.
Absolutely brilliant video Tom 😂. Laughing out loud at your great humour. Great look around . Keep them coming sir 👏🏻👍🏻🍻😎. Cheers . Speno

Top video Daragh, your dead right you can't go wrong with Tom
Bruges and Ghent are definitely worth a visit as well, especially Bruges!
Cracking Ibiza, fun read and craft beer throughout!
New concept is class but we still need the boys are back in town instrumental on over shots of the place ur in 😂
I’ve had the Delirium Noël around Christmas time. Strong but tasty.
Ahh now you missed out on the best Belgian beers, and top tip - they do not drink pints in Belgium. Pintjes (half pints) are the standard, would definitely recommend a trip to Antwerp or Ghent to try more 👌🏻

I enjoyed this and you made me laugh! The comment about leaving for the airport cracked me up.
I love Belgian beer and my Grandad from Donegal calls me a big dosser all the time. 😂
Unreal! More exotic beers and maybe even scoring ones like German or Belgian beers would be class
Cracking new video lad! Was in Delierium bar Brussels last week with work. You should try the cherry beer called Kriek they do if you get over there again. Unbelievable
Great video mate - keep em coming!
Happy to see a cheeky bonus Guinness review in there. Very sessionable Duval made me laugh. Google the 10 duval challenge. One for your next video maybe.Anyway. Nice work Tom 👍

Great stuff. I think I prefer these to the all Guinness vids. As long as you review one Guinness in each vlog to continue the tradition it's all good.
Great video Tom!!
Great to see this channel grow
They usually give you the smaller glasses with the stronger pints
Enjoyed that format. Dilirium would always recommend their own brewed stuff, so that made sense. Shame the other place offered a blonde too.

Far less niche and broader. Not only get to see different beers being tried and rated around Europe but a bit of sight seeing and additional Craic.
Enjoy the food content element too. Food and drink rating with a bit of sight seeing should be the way forward 👌🏻

Hope you're planning a few trips for the RWC, would be good to get some fan perspectives.
Shoulda got to Bruges whilst you were there

Don’t think you could’ve done much better with this vid mate, quality stuff
Lol sunblock on the bald spot. Lovely
As a man that is currently off the beer this is tough to watch! 😂
I'm off the beer till the next time I drink😉
1 month off it for me Guinness 0 an absolute life changer, think I prefer it over regular guinness
Still yet to try Guniess 0%. My go to at the minute is Erdinger 0%
Well done on the new direction. Would like you to give us a little bit more info on the sites you see otherwise it’ll turn into reviewing a beer or two and a lunch and it therefore would become very repetitive. 👍

Theres a cafe on the corner of the square near the greek restaraunts,,,, try to drink the menu....great vid
When were you here bro, just got back myself
Guru was the apprenticeship for Daragh. ...aka Tom....the master.
