@@suppersday I had a couple of pints of the middle tap before the Anthrax gig on Friday night there. First one took a wee bit to settle but both pints were lovely. I think for folk used to it being properly cold it might seem a bit odd but if you're into traditional ales which are usually cellar temp then it shouldn't be an issue.
The distance from the keg is a factor, the best pints come when the keg is under the bar coming from a chilled pipe and a tap that is flowing regularly. Hence it's never too cold.
As a Dublin City bartender for 36 years you have to listen for the “hiss” of gas as it’s pouring. Your rarely ever going to get a pint of Guinness outside of Ireland to even come close. The British system is so different to ours, there gas and cooling I find is allways wrong. Just the fact there selling extra cold just shows they haven’t a clue about proper Guinness. As you probably know when the Guinness family sold Guinness to Diageo in 1999. They told every bar in Ireland to stop cleaning your beer lines. They were going to clean themselves EVERY 6 WEEKS 😮. That’s when Guinness changed for ever in Ireland. The good consistent Guinness you find in the good Guinness bars are maintained by cleaning there lines themselves EVERY WEEK.The majority of the rest of Irish bars wait for that 6 weeks. That is the real reason for a good and poor pint in Ireland 🇮🇪 Not to mention all you’ll find outside of Ireland is that horrible new style glass 🤮. Can’t beat a branded proper TULIP Guinness pint glass 🥛mothers milk!!
'The fact that they're selling extra cold? Some are...some aren't....has no one in the entire country got a clue cos some haven't? Plenty of people from ireland open pubs in great britain.
The best pint of Guinness in Glasgow is literally across the street from where you filmed the intro - The Tolbooth Bar, can't believe you missed it. Also happens to be one of the cheapest as well. Maybe next time 🍀
Drank in 90% of pubs in Glasgow north/south/east/west & it's environs over the last 30 odd years & the only pint that comes close to what you'll get in Ireland(& that includes THE LAURIESTON) is THE CROW in BISHOPBRIGGS,thick,creamy,sweet & it doesn't have that bitter aftertaste you get from most British pints,the bar staff know their stuff,8minutes from Queen station & a 1 minute walk to the pub, thoroughly recommend!.
cant believe some of the ‘barry o’theme’ places people sent you to with their recommendations. you need to come back mate and do another one. the dolphin in the west end, the old burnt barns in the calton. allison arms in the southside. tolbooth city centre. all worth a visit. keep doing the videos, love them!
Definitely agree with the Tolbooth Bar suggestion. Not great to look at from the outside but a banging Guinness. The fact that he started the video almost within touching distance of it as well. 🤦♂️
I was asking myself that question this morning as I just got up, I'll be in g-town later the day for the culture. (tourist in ma own town) MacSorelys is not bad I find - on Jamaca St. "Not the architecture guru, the Guinness guru" - top patter But the acknowledgement of the mightily built-city full of empire relics is respect enough, but of secondary importance to a well pult pint of the black stuff, Yer a prophet sir I mean guru 🙏
Interesting! How much does this affect the outcome of the pint you're served? Also, how does one determine if the pub are using a traditional tap or regular?
This was superb. Speaking humbly as a veteran of Euro 88 ..yes I was there at all 3 legendary games!!...I recommend a compilation of carnage videos!! I just can't get enough...do do dadododo dododadododo....
You are gonna need to get a thermometer and start scanning the temperature. Had a pint in a very well know pub in Dublin 16 last weekend and it was like eating snow. Wanted a skinful but couldn't do it.
Waited for this video for a longtime and although excited for it I knew Glasgow would be disappointing. As a Glaswegian Guinness drinker the standards have dropped in the past few years and there’s hardly anywhere that serves Guinness out a regular tap. Hopefully this video creates some ripples and Guinness can up its game in Glasgow.
Glasgow pints were still far better than anything from England or Wales. Every pint of Guinness looked tasty, you'll get worse pints in a lot of places in Ireland, guaranteed.
If you're ever in Glasgow again, The Laurieston does a cracking pint of McEwan's 80/- The style would be considered a "Heavy" in Scotland. It's probably an equivalent to the red/cream ales you've enjoyed previously.
Knew you wouldn't get an outstanding pint of Guiness in Glasgow. You picked a couple of cracking old school boozers in the Laurieston and Heraghty's. My uncle drank in the latter for 50 years until he passed.
Enjoyed this one. Was in Milan away with England. Met this Irish fella on the Saturday so watch it with him, in a pub full of English. Ireland score he’s jumps up going mad. Lucky for him Ireland we’re playing Scotland so we all joined in 😂
I was going to call bullocks on being able to taste the difference in a Dublin Guinness pour. ( I'm from Minnesota so I figured I wouldn't know shite anyway)...but had s Murphys...several...and then the Shakespeare across from the Gate hotel...found myself now at Fitzsimmons ( I think)...damn, I can tell...I must now get another!
When I played music, I would always drink Guinness, because it was really the only beer that I could drink at any temperature in between sets. I do enjoy cold but room temp, it’s fine. I did really like that pint glass from the middle tap!
Bunch of McDonalds reviews with the Laurieston thrown in…and guess what pub was the most interesting, insightful review, regardless if personal flavour preference. Reminds of the hand-pump video. Much more interesting finding these gems than generic chain pubs selling commercial piss water.
The last time I went to Scotland I was waiting for a train back to Manchester, so I decided I'd try the fish and chips which were cooked in beef dripping, very nice, then a few pints, it was the drinking up time that spoilt it
You should get one of those little laser thermometers and start recording the temperature of the pints to see if there is actually a difference in the coldness from each bar.. 🤔
Man I love the middle tap, can't say I've found it too warm myself, always find Guinness in other places usually too cold so I welcome it, maybe you got a particularly warm one - great vid though. Just shows, the standard in Glasgow is lacking and needs to change.
I went to an Irish pub out by the Barrowland a few years ago, tricolours painted on the walls and bars on the window. Went in and yer man took one look and said "we're closed" (this was like 9pm). I said fair enough, is there anywhere else open? When he heard the Irish accent he said "really sorry mate, why you having?", and then he wouldn't take any cash for the pint. Legend
@@ralph3428 most don’t consider themselves Irish most have Irish heritage and have basically been told they aren’t Scottish since they got here so surprise surprise there’s a bit of a problem with identity. Although I wld say that most of that is actually dieing out due to Scottish nationalism. Just another point a think it funny that an American can say he’s Irish and everybody is like fair enough but somebody that literally lives right across the water has more connections to Ireland can’t. It’s funny.
On the extra cold thing... I started drinking Guinness in the UK about 10 years ago and I'm so accustomed to extra cold. I drank from a normal tap at the weekend and the first gulps struck me as weird even after 7 pints. Just didn't seem cold enough to me but who the fuck knows. Not me.
People don't drink Guinness much in Glasgow probably why it's not that great. Tennents is more the Glaswegian beer. I honestly to god didn't even know we had Irish pubs in the city, I thought that was an American thing, maybe in the city centre instead of the pub. If you want to finish Irish probably visit a Celtic club, they aren't fancy but full of Irish people or Irish diaspora.
a lot of ppl dont like it because it's too cold and means you don't taste all the flavour there. It's like that heineken ice thing, it's so cold you can hardly taste anything. Good for cheap lager but not great for people who like the flavours in a guinness.
You go into an Irish bar in Glasgow full of football muppets who are Scottish singing a traditional Irish song.....in true Irish pub nature that would never happen which is why I kind of detest these places.

When there’s an old fella behind the bar in a shirt and tie you know you are in a good pub.
Class boozer that is.
Although in the Laurieston, avoid them, as they can't pour good Guinness
Rather a lady with big nockers myself

Tollbooth bar in Trongate was an amazing pint, Could of used a spoon it was so creamy 👌
Was in Glasgow for work last week and a colleague took me to the Tolbooth. Lovely pint of the black stuff in there
Glasgow has a lot of old school proper pubs. Loads more to try on a second trip

Usually if it’s a regular tap it uses carbon dioxide, the traditional Guinness pull tap uses nitrogen.
Interesting! How much does this affect the outcome of the pint you're served? Also, how does one determine if the pub are using a traditional tap or regular?
Should have went into the Tollbooth you were just outside it at the start of the video

Ace video, there’s a wee secret round the corner from Kitty’s called the park lane and the Guinness in there is effortlessly brilliant.
Should try a pint of Orkney dark island lovely drop of stuff
Lauristoun… I think it needs a revisit, did the staff get them the wrong way round on way to table?

Should have tried the Louden Tavern.
Is the problem not with Guinness?Why doesn't the company not recommend the best way to serve and store the beer.Have some sort of consistency
The best Guiness in Glasgow is at the Tolbooth bar imo
Need to make the trek to Newcastle, not sure it'll be a great pint of Guinness but it'll be a hell of a do for the boys
Did nobody suggest The Horseshoe bar? Legendary Glasgow pub.
Try the Queens Park Cafe on Victoria Rd. Good Guinness, not "Dublin good," but very drinkable.
Tube goes out the the west end good run at the start then I was rush rush , you done well in malones bar considering 😅
The Braemar Bar in London Road TOPS them all 😎🇮🇪
Not sure the whole crew would fit in the Braemar, bit tight but yeah, lovely Guinness
Few pints and a few shorts!!🤪
Did ya try the Bon Accord Guru?

Sharkeys best pint of Guinness for me
I'm surprised you didn't go to the Horse Shoe Bar, it apparently has the longest bar in Europe. You could have compared to the Circus Tavern in Manc!
That first pint looked like it was gonna be a bit rocky! happy it rallied to be borderline drinkable
The Laurieston. I remember many years ago the barman got murdered right inside that pub by some crazed "customer". Glasgow was a mad place back then.
Best pint in Glasgow 26 hope st .... beautiful smooth pint

With the 'warm' pint you might actually taste the roasted barley and malt and get the flavour of Guinness ? Yeah I'm an old geezer...
I've been to the Laurieston countless times but oddly never knew of the "middle tap". In there this Friday so going to have to investigate.
To follow up, had a couple in there before a gig on Friday. Could get used to it that way. Lovely pint.
