FYI, guinness is 'carbonated' with nitrogen, not co2. When its on tap, the bar has to have a seperate nitrogen system, which is why you don't see it on tap as often as you might think.
As far as serving temperature, the colder the liquid, the more nitrogen will be dissolved into the beer, making it more like tap Guinness. If you let it warm (this applies to any beer, especially kegs), and then chill right before serving then you will higher PSI in the head space of the beer, causing a flatter beer in the glass, especially as it warms. Kegs that aren't kept cool will pour hotter than those kept refridgerated because it takes a few days for the gas to dissolve back into the liquid. You can accelerate reabsorbtion of the gas by chilling and then shaking the container.
thats probably more than any of you wanted to know, and i think my work here is done. 😀:beer:😀:beer:😀:beer:

Also, go to the Guinness Society to sign up for printable a $2 or $4 rebate of either a 6pk or 12pk, and also for future email promotions.
I totally agree with Duroc, It's only satisfying on tap. 😀

works for me...
Without being a beer snob about it, you said you like Labatt's in a different thread (IIRC), and said something along the lines of it being not watery. For people who enjoy strong beer... Labatt's is as watery as say a mixture of 50% Bud Light and 50% water wold be to you. It's just not satisfying, there isnt much taste, and what taste is present is annoying.
Guinness might not be the best stout, but it is a stout that most people like, if they like stouts and other strong (tasting) beers. Thus it is highly popular. Guinness is also widely available. Not as many people can get Arrogant Bastard Ale (obviously, not a stout, just what came to mind) on tap as can get Guinness on tap.

Yes it is a taste to get used to. I drank guinness for a few years prior to being stationed in europe for 5 years, which during that time had the chance to visit the guinness brewery in Ireland. Now, even guinness off the tap in the US seems like crap, but better than nothing!

if you all work in RTP, come on over tomorrow to the Joyce in Durham for a couple of pints. McTavish, the owner, bought the sub shop next door and turned it into another bar, called the Federal. Good prices on beer and the waitstaff wear these little...
Well, let's just say when they go outside to write down the daily specials on the sandwichboard, they've been know to stop traffic.
:Q
For Chapel Hillians, go on over to WB Yeats
For Raleigh, go to Tir na nog or Ri Ra's.
Of course, nothing beats being in Chicago and being in the parade!

Guinness Draught in cans is the same as draught in the bottles. The can has a ping pong ball nitrogen device as well. These are dry stouts. The extra stout in the short bottles is a different type of stout. More roasted flavor, hop bitterness, body, and alcohol. Either will also taste differently in different countrys. The extra stout in Jamaica is brewed in Jamaica by the same brewers of Red Stripe. Guinness in Ireland will have a lower alcohol content. The water used by the brewery is also a factor of taste.
Get yourself a bottle of Double Bastard Ale. You wont like it. But that is not the point here. Compare the depth and strength of the taste of DBA to Labatt's. Then come back and try to tell me that DBA to Labatt's isnt like comparing Labatt's to watered down Bud Light.
Which is almost like cutting it with water.
Oh, yeah, btw:
Nope, havent had any LabRat's Blue in quite a while, so I'm certain I'm not full of sh!t.
^---- that is being a beer snob. If I get accused of it I might as well act like one 😛
