Interesting. You are the first I've heard say that (maybe 10 ppl or so). |
You're now the 2nd person I've heard make that claim. Those I've heard say it were from the US. Although, it may be an issue of draught vs. bottled or canned.

Noted, if I see it in my travels, I'll grab a bottle - I always like to try a new tipple.

As you know, I am not really a brit.
But time does fly. Applying for ILR nowish. I will have to take the knowledge of britain test as well as the the language test. I may have to study for the knowledge test. I subconsciously block out all information concerning the monarchy. |

I am comparing draught vs draught.
Ireland is a big beer scam if you ask me. The propaganda will tell you that it is a great place for beer, but it is all dominated by Guinness. There is very little variety in pubs. And I don't mind Guinness. But, outside of five standard beers, there isn't much.
England is the place for beer (on the british isles). Lots of local brew. Different pubs will have all sorts of different beer. My locals all have different beer and even within themselves they shift it around pretty often. I easily have a new beer a week. |

That might explain it. I've always assumed the people claiming it was better in Ireland were comparing the same thing, but maybe they were comparing it to the bottle/can stuff in the US.

draught to draught. draught anywhere to the 16oz CANS. i think all taste the same. i always pour the cans out into a pint glass though.
the 12oz bottles, i believe are supposed to be also poured out into a glass. they have to be nitrogenated ( made up guinness word ) by being poured out. I think when drank from the 12 glass bottle that it does taste somewhat off.
when in london, i was given a "surger can" which has some special "surger" machine that shakes it or whatever. this process wasn't done i was just served the can as is and it tasted like the 12oz bottles.... somewhat off.

Every bottled or canned (non-nitrogen) beer I've had didn't improve by being in a glass. I rarely drink from the bottle and never from the can. The nitrogen canned stuff is much, much better. I don't think I've been able to compare the same kind in draught vs. nitrogen can.

| Depending on the bar and how they pour, canned Guinness can be an improvement over what local bars offer. |
