Guinness Yankee candles. Could be a winner?

I used to be a cider/lager monkey but the sick stomach the day after a sesh was just horrendous. After one particularly heavy weekend about 6 years ago I was in the boozer to watch a game and the thought of a pint of Bulmers made me want to heave so I had 3 pints of stout and have been drinking it since.

What used to slay me with hangovers was not being able to eat the day after and the hangover would last all day.

With Guinness my head is very steamy but I'm that hungry the morning after I'd eat a scabby baby, once i get some grub into me I'm golden.

The only downside is that it gives me outrageous shyts but the way I see it is its cheaper than a colonic.

I've often heard people say they feel full after 4 or 5 pints, there's atein and drinkin in Guinness etc but I've never had that experience, on a good session i could sink 10 to 12 pints with relative ease but after 4 or 5 pints of lager or cider I feel as bloated as Marlon Brando.

Worst thing about Guinness is when you get the Guinness farts

I love burnt toast. Maybe not in a glass, though. Guinness is fine too.

Drank 17 one Paddys day for a bet when I was 18. Sick doesn't even cover it the next day.

Now I can't drink more than 7 or 8 or I feel like I've had 3 dinners.

Sounds legit.

Years ago, I'd often go drinking with a friend, both of us on Guinness. After a while, I noticed that when we'd finish a pint, there would be rings from the head along my glass at various intervals, ie. mouthfuls, while his glass would be almost clear. He suggested that maybe the glasses were washed with a different detergent (but I thought that was a bit stupid). I reckon it was down to different drinking styles, not that I know what mine is.

Has anybody else noticed this?

Interesting, I've always put that down to a glorious Guinness pint glass being contaminated with other foul non Guinness drinks. Thus a glass with rings is a pure and holy Guinness only glass and never had another beer poured in her.

I could put forth the hypothesis that you back wash in each gulp thus form said rings. A practice common among Guinness worshipers as the motion prolongs and savours the taste of each sup in the drinkers mouth.

Could also be detergent, heat etc. I wouldn't know but will investigate further.

Pint bottles FTW, feck that nitro shite.

Crumpets · 09-02-2016 01:29PM

Love an ould pint of Guinness. My first memory of it was when myself and the girls were all let into the pub for the first time. 17 I think we were. Said we'd try a bit of Guinness. Had to get blackcurrent in it though because we weren't able for it. The blackcurrant made it worse. Anywho, tried it a few months later in the Guinness Storehouse. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm craving one now.

ScumLord · 09-02-2016 01:50PM

I don't mind it, I wouldn't have more than a pint or two. The farts in the morning are unbearable if I drink too much of it. I'll literally be woke by the smell of my own farts and have to abandon the bedroom, which isn't on when you want to lie in through your hangover. The farts smell like a dead skunk spray in gone off pepper spray.

I like the old guinness stout you get in the bottle though.

Shur aint it all the same anyway

whiskeyman · 09-02-2016 02:15PM

I know location is always put down as 'where to get the best pint', but for me the best pint always depends on the time / situation / company that you're with.

The first pint of a stag do or the first pint of a matchday is always a winner for me.

And what's with another Guinness threads on here?
Are you guys getting shill payments from Diageo or something?

Jesus yeah - The ominous feeling of the night/weekend ahead does add a certain something alright! Delicious

I moved to Dublin from Galway last year.

By a long country mile all the best pints I ever had were served in a Dublin pub.

You haven't reached the airport or Rosslare yet!

If I'm getting anything from a tap while abroad I tend to go with local stuff. It's always going to be nicer than anything imported.

I tend to stay away from Guinness when anywhere outside Ireland. I've tried it and it never tastes anywhere as nice.

Nicest pints would be

1. The Clock, Thomas Street.
2. Cassidy's, Camden Street.
3. Irishtown House, Irishtown.

I would like a single plum floating in perfume and served in a man's hat.

I always got a fantastic creamy pint in O'Donoghue's on Merrion Row.

But I called in last week and was served dishwater. Was so disappointed.

I'd usually send tourists up to O'Donoghue's for a decent pint.

It was 5.30 on a Monday afternoon so maybe that had something to do with it.
