bottled and draught have different recipes. Guinness have even admitted to this themselves.

I must admit that I prefer all of my drinks cold. Guinness Extra cold is very nice and my usual choice if they have it on during the hot summers. Ales such as Abbot, 49er, Old Thumper, Discovery (arhghghggh mmmmm *drool) are very nice too and i have drunk a few of those through winter but in the summer they are not refreshing enough for me. But the flavours are just mnmnmnmnnmnm

mad

Here's one for you Guinness lovers.

Some say it’s madness, others say it’s genius, but this year’s must-have for St Patrick’s Day is new limited edition Guinness™ Marmite Yeast Extract Spread.

Hot on the heels of our recent launch of Guinness Red which you seem to love loads we are launching the iconic Marmite glass jar filled with darker ‘Guinness Marmite’ spread. The glass now appears black when full and together with the white lid replicates a pint of Guinness.

This is a special edition launch with only 300,000 jars being created which means this will be the must have edition to any St Patrick's party.

This unique product has been created using a special recipe with 30% Guinness yeast (a specific strain of yeast used only to make Guinness), giving it a subtle Guinness flavour, without the alcohol.

The limited edition 250g jars of Guinness Marmite (RRSP £2.49) will be on-shelf from 18th February, in time for St. Patrick’s day on the 17th March, for around six weeks. Stockists include Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons, and Co-op.

I'll give i miss I think.

Man some one has to reserve me one .. i want it lol. I will be in tesco come 17th march waiting!

Sounds good and being a Marmite and Guinness lover its a dream product

You've obviously misread after being overcome by the ultimate product.

Aha! hmmm I haven't seen it yet though

has anyone actually bought it or tasted it?

eww... thats just plain sick! :sick:

I would never chill My 2 favorite beers Fullers London pride and Fullers ESB ,room temperature every time pour it into a glass, leave it for 20minutes then drink and enjoy, its not gassy its not chilled but the taste OHHH BOY like fine wine

How can you make anything out of used yeast? Must taste...weird.

I don't think its made out of used yeast... Just the same yeast thats used in making guiness

But what else does it have? Or is only yeast?
I wonder why the English cuisine isn't that valuated around the world

Some girls put blackcurrent in their Guinness, tis' tangy! YeeeaaACK...

Should have took the 59 it had AC not like the smell of hops? its up there with freshly baked bread for me.

Must go on a pilgrimage to Chiswick some day , mmm free samples.

IMO any draught beer is horrible, I just don't like the taste. Give me a Heineken or Efes any day (On the warm/cold topic - I prefer cold but I'll happily drink beer at room temperature)

@ skiing...man(?)

lookee here you nerdy little Yankee. First off, my beer of choice is Negro Modelo. Since you're obviously NORTH of the Mason-Dixon, "Nacho" is probably the only Spanish you know, Any ways, it's a dark ale, not some trendy little
over priced liquid yeast infection micro brewery crap you seem to be into.

And reading the side of a beer can before drinking it? LOL Like taking Medication?
OMG! Please tell me you don't look for the instructions when you go to open the toilet paper too.

Well I hope I got that all cleared up fer ya. I gotta go now. They's a lynching in the trailer park right after the back yard wrestling match
It's gonna be a brother/sister tag team match!

... yankees...

Speaking of.... I wanna Texas Flag.

New Mexico.

I'm sorry to hear that two dollars a pint is too rich for your blood.

One might think that at some point, someone in that restaurant would have thought "Gee, this beer can has something in it, maybe it says something about that on the package."

Not in the South.

By the way: Its Negra Modelo, you illiterate twat.

Sounds fun. Let me know if your Mom beats your Dad in the rasslin' match.

Guiness? Man they should just stick to making world records books.
I ordered some a that stuff once. It was in a can (YUCK!). Anyways, I go to drink it
and something solid in the can hits my mouth. I'm thinking finger. Someone down at the brewery screwed up and lost a finger and I found it....turned out to be some plastic ball.
Well I go off on the waiter about there being a plastic ball in the beer.
Even though I was estatic about it NOT being a finger, a ball ain't too cool either. the manager comes out and explains to me that the ball is in the can deliberately so it can be swished around and mix the flavor around.
He even gives me another can.
I'm sorry, but when you swish beer around, it should foam up and shoot out of the can. You shouldn't have to swish a ball around in a decent brew.

As far as UK beers goes, I like Bass Ale. I can rest assured with that brand that if I feel something hit my mouth when I tilt that bottle back it won't be a stupid flavor ball. It'll be a finger!...
No wait. That came out wrong.....

i was just about to slag you for what you wrote about guinness....but then you mentioned Bass........a hell of a pint, and imo better at room temp.

also, i went out with a woman who drank guinness and black...strange i must admit. maybe its a woman thing...like not being able to park (OMG..waits for female backlash) is that becky rose loading a 12 gauge? only kidding ladies!

It's not to mix the flavour around, it's a Widget.

You're meant to pour it into a glass, and the widget provides a head similar to a freshly poured draught pint.

Guinness Draught is the worst beverage I ever let my tong meet. I sure hope normal Guinness isn't anything like it.
Upon the first sip it reminded me of 2nd hand, 10 year old hand beer bought from a bum who cleaned a donkey's ass with it. It tasts like halffull morning leftovers from a crazy party last night: no bite, no taste, pure horror.

I could go on. :vomit:

And what's with the damn washing machine ball in the can? EDIT:Ah NVM, it's the widget! Neat, so there IS something good about it, I got a free pingpong ball. Playing with it right now.

My favorite by far is Hertog Jan, wich might have something to do with my Dutch origin or not, but it's damn tasty no matter how I drink it. I also love Desperados and Corona Extra in case of a party, or this Dutch beer with a very high percentage (can't remember the name) in case of misery.

I like my beer chilled

Specially strong ones like Judas (ain't it hte best beer in the world?) or Piraat (13º!!!). I also like Grimbergen Triple, and of course Guiness, the only beer you can chew instead of drink!!

For the ligh ones I like the Eku 28, or our spanish Mahou beer.

Regular Guinness, from the Tap is served at 6ºC, the Extra Cold at 4ºC. Both use different recipes and gas mixtures. Pulling the perfect pint is a bit of an art from, it took me a couple of years to get it right, and I'd probably have to learn all over again if I had to do it today. Pure nectar though!

The stuff in cans and bottles is only muck.

Bob Smith has an explanation for the widget on his website

Of course the canned version of most if not all beers is usually muck and doesn't cmpare to a poured pint in the pub but its the closest you will get to the real thing in the comfort of your own home. It takes 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect pint and if the pourer is skill enough to add a shamrock to the top of it in the head then its trully an Irish Experience

Because i do prefer the less gassy beers Guinness is great but I do like to go back to some of our Czech Largers... mnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I did take the can and gently poor it into a large beer glass with care, but helas, to no avail.

And yes, Czech beer is also one of my recommendations! It has a very low price but it's very tasty.

i've spent a lot of time in holland in the past and i have never found a barman that can pour a proper pint, so dont worry, it's not just you

...blah blah blah....

New Mexico huh? So is this microbrewery on the left or the right hand side of the cock fighting arena dude?

OK you win. Seeing that New Mexico is like the DUI capital of the free world,
you probably know your poison.

And yeah, two bucks for a glass of used massengil is a bit too much.
