You hit the nail on the head at the end of video. People do deserve good quality pints especially now considering the cost of them. Paying over 6 quid for a terrible pint is a slap in the face.

I feel like as this point, you are the Guinness quality team

It's not just Guinness. I live within commutable distance of London and love a walk and a pint or two in some new places. Really hacks me off paying £6+ and receiving a flat, lifeless pint. I appreciate its hard for pubs these days but producing poor product means I'll take my hard earned elsewhere...

I've had some shocking pints across London over the years - the fact you have to pay £6-7 for the pleasure can be a real kick in the nuts

“Taking negligence to a whole new level” 😂 i love the passion!

I'd cut London some slack as a lot of places just haven't a clue and people are worse for drinking the stuff. But in Ireland it really is inexcusable and here in Cork there are a few pubs I won't drink Guinness in as it's not worth the money. If you want to charge €6 then grand, but at least have the courtesy to serve a decent pint. I'd like to see a "worst Guinness in Ireland" video next. Excluding hotels, which always have dreadful Guinness for some reason

As a paddy living in exile in the UK, my general opinion is that any Guinness from a chain (slug and lettuce, Wetherspoons, Youngs etc) is general going to be pretty poor. Being presumptive, but most people working there just want a few quid in their pocket (and there’s nothing wrong with that). However, that generally means they take fuck all pride in pouring the pint and don’t even know how to pour a pint of Guinness properly. When spending £6+ per pint you deserve better.

Absolutely agree. If it was priced accordingly, so.. somewhere in the region of £1.50-2 a pint you might forgive it! 😂 I mean.. it's still not forgivable, but ya know.. North of £6 a pint for a crappy dirty glass pint like that last one is shameful.

Great vid and right on point. In an ideal world you should be able to walk into any pub, especially in Ireland and not have to worry if you’re going to get a good pint of Guinness. And at now over €6 a pint, it’s the least we deserve.

100% agree, the analogy I use is it’s like the cinema experience, we can all watch a film at home but go to the cinema for the big screen, IMAX , surround sound extra. The same with pint , we can drink a can at home or pay for a premium experience, really boils my piss when I get a crap pint, my pet hate which I really can’t handle is Guinness served in a non Guinness glass !! Good work on the channel

Got one a few times in a pub included in the basement of a club in Aarhus, Denmark that unfortunately doesn't exist anymore. The bartenders were Irish. Two elderly gents. It was not just a pulling of a handle when pouring. They pumped it up to app. half a glas. Set it aside for a few minutes and then pumped again and let it settle again. It takes the time it needs they use to say. It was incredibly good

It really matter, the quality. I spent a semester abroad in London some 30 years ago, and I was in Highgate on a wander through the cemetery. Afterwards I had a mighty hunger and a thirst to match. I went to an establishment called The Angel Inn for lunch. I remember that pint because I recalled the care and courtesy with which the barkeep attended to the service. It wasn't a toil. There was genuine concentration at play. And after years of throwing down pitchers of pizza parlor lager, this was something of a revelation to my American eyes. It felt like genuine hospitality, if felt like being cared for in a certain way. As if she knew I'd been on a long urban hike and was alone in the strange city and far from home. That pint was not just refreshing, it was renewing, and it was sustaining. It's been 3 decades and it's a memory of that time as dear to me as kissing a pretty girl on Blackfriar's Bridge or reading Matthew Arnold to a collection of school children on Dover Beach.

To be fair, these places prioritise food, however it's no excuse for a bad beer. A Slug & Lettuce, Cubitt House pubs (Coachmakers) or even a "Spoons" wouldn't be places for a decerning drinker of any type of beer? Would many of their usual punters even notice?

The bubbles on the glass are caused by not cleaning them probably, a glass has to be beer cleaned, the bubbles on the glass is the co2 or in the case of Guinness, the nitrous sticking to grease and dirt on the glass, the bad taste will most likely be caused by that and if they can't clean a glass properly they probably aren't cleaning the lines and equipment that holds and delivers the beer

In Central London especially many pubs deal with migratory trade and don't have too many regular customers. This is the reason why so many pubs in central London get away with selling badly looked after ale and stout.

Great video as always. Good to see Alan the barman get a shoutout at the Guinea Grill. Served me when I was there. Perfect pint of the black stuff.. Loving the content Guru, went to many of the pubs you’ve featured in previous videos in London and Dublin in search for the perfect pint. Should try out Newcastle at some point. Also the thin lizzy outro rocks 🤘🎸🤘

I've just RE-DISCOVERED the 'secret' to a fabulous pint of CANNED Guinness...The glass has to be as cold as the Guinness you're pouring into it. No more 'BROWN' bubbly heads for me from now on.

I’m at the kings head pub in Galway right now pints are tasty and decent price for tourist spot

Condron in The Guinea Grill......I got him his first job😂😂😂 I hope he got a Manscaped for this...

Having tasted the real good stuff in Ireland it hardly worth bothering here in the UK. Guinness should be the same throughout the British Isles but your more than likely poured pints of pisswater than get a good one. Guinness really need to sort it out. Maybe give pubs a Guinness rating so we don't waste our money.

We’ll done mate! We’ll said!! Guinness seems much more popular now than it was a few year ago especially in the uk! We need good consistent pints everywhere!

Possible idea for a video moving away from the city/town theme is maybe find them isolated old country pubs you know the ones were you need a feckin horse an carriage to acces or pay the arld ferryman, the ones in the shticks and video your journey to them and see what there guinnes is living upto who knows you may find the holy guinnes grail tucked away in middle of no were, no doubt you would meet some right characters who drink in them types of pubs too

£6.60 !!!! I would literally shyte on that pub....

Coachmakers...☠️... that pic 📸 of that pint! 🤢🤮... had a nice Guinness in weatherspoons yesterday... £3.03 👌

I'm in the industry myself and completely agree with your finishing statement. The high ups force people to make shitty descions and clean less, QC less and short staff it, literally just takes care.

“This place is having a bad forever” loving the banter 😂 you need to come to Glasgow because there is to many places like that here.

I loved the new video content and glad you even managed to have time for one pint of Guinness. Looking forward to seeing more new content from you soon.

The best pint of Guinness I had out side of Ireland was in Devon, they work with real ales so they know how to look after Guinness, especially Kitty o halons in Plymouth

Near better off with the cans or the Nitrosurge.. at least it's reasonably priced and quite consistent quality. Too much of a pendulum swing in pubs nowadays.. even in a good pub, you can always get a shite barman.. you have to find out who can even pull a pint and just always go to them.. I think a big part of the problem is.. anyone is put behind a bar nowadays. Back years ago, a barman was a profession, you literally had to serve your time at it. My Uncle was a barman, probably began in the 40s or early 50s when he was maybe 14 or 15, worked at it all his life. Back in the old days you didn't just waltz in and start behind a bar, you started washing bottles and bottling in the cellar (in the days they rebottled the stout down below) and worked your way up. It was years before you were let behind the bar let alone pry a pump. Now any 17-18 year old is put behind a bar after five minutes.. without being showed anything.. and people are so pretentious and uppity these days they wouldn't even want to learn or take advice off anyone even if they were showed anything. Like these idiot bartenders that serve people a glass of ice cream and when they're pulled up on it they try to argue back and say "Guinness is a settling beer". Fuckin assholes.

Yes agree with ya. No matter where u go the Guinness should be good and of the same Quality .. I was in a Irish bar in Venice last week 6.50 a pint and it was Quality. Told a lad he was English about ur channel after he asked me what I thought of the Quality. 😅😅

Why not sort a trip to Nigeria ?

Some of those pictures of those pints are shocking, the people who poured them deserve time cause those are criminal

We need more of these 😂😂

A loooong time ago, this was the late 90's, my mate and I, both barmen at the time, went to London. We went into a pub near the hotel and caveats: this was the business district so we weren't expecting much. We order two pints of the black stuff and to our horror the young lady proceeded to pull a pint into a horrible standard stacker glass from a fking bitter tap, the ones with the long single throw, you know the sort. She pulled it right to the top and handed it over the bar. Fk no we said, you don't serve Guinness like that! She was taken aback, said she had never been told anything different. So we educated her. The pints were still shit, and tasted awful, but at least the head wasn't an inch and a half deep. Last time we ordered Guinness on our trip.

Worst I almost had was brought to me in a Pilsner glass...it went back

Ive had a pint there. I left it sitting there as it was horrible

Considering Guinness’ relationship with London you would think they would pull a better pint!

More of these videos, love to see you with the shite Guinness!

Guru on a quest.. better pints for all. A true man o the people.

I used to work 5 minutes down the road from the coach makers. During lockdown they were serving 2 pints in milk cartons and giving you plastic cups 😂😂 Guinness has been crappie in there for years

I said it before I can never get my glass to look like that LOL

This man should be sponsored by Guinness themselves.

At Cheltenham Festival this week Guinness was £7.50 a pint. They also had self service still £7.50. There is no excuse for charging such a price. Each day 60000 attend the meeting which is on for 4 days so turnover will be high. As for quality of the Guinness ...no Guinness is worth that.

The coachmakers pint on shitlondonguinness looks like a pint of Pepsi.

Suffered London pints for 8 years now. Now given the choice between a £6+ sh1t pub pint and the nitro surge for £2 at home, it's a no brainer.

not bubbles in the head..... NOT BUBBLES IN THE HEAD

Fair play calling out Guinness. Absolute disgrace

That second pint of guiness is terrible in the picture the glass is dirty thats why so many bubbles are sticking to the side. They either aren't cleaning the glasses properly or they have been using them for years and never renovated them. Impossible to pour a decent pint with glassware in that condition.

I live in West Palm Beach Florida. I yet to find a guiness that isn't above a 3/10.

You're doing the Lords work there. Easy to see how that photo of the Guinness in the Coach Makers isn't a one off and closer to the norm.

Lozords you Southern Bogtrotters crack me up.

Pint of stout.....spills half it down the glass. Pusses me right off

Just discovered your channel, love it!

Decent pint in wether spoons yesterday for 3.20!

You need to change that calendar. December 2021 has been and gone, kidda.

You couldn't get me to drink a beer with bubbles all over the glass.

When i lived in Cork years ago,a pint of Guinness would take about 5-10 mins from ordering until you got it served as they always let them settle for ages before topping up etc......from Cork to Dublin to Belfast they have all been great but the pints in Scotland are piss poor and very watery...i like the new Brewdog black heart stout...very similar pint. Whatever happened to Guinness extra cold,? you don't find it in pubs now...

Guinness is one of the biggest beer cons in history. Chilled to the point you can no longer taste anything what so ever .. it's a complete waste of time. Massive PR agency and sponsorship saturation keeping it alive, but compared to a decent hand pumped stout / porter .... it's basically Fisher Price booze ... no better than an alcopop.

Guinness is the only beer that actually tastes nice with a full English breakfast!

The Guinness Quality Team would be aghast at some of the pints poured stateside. Maybe 4 of 10 are poured even close. It’s abysmal.

Crazy prices, have heard that some pubs are charging eight pounds and upwards for a pint.

Worst pint of Guinness? It came straight back up! My SU bar, beer was off.

Everybody deserves a perfect pint of Guinness. All Guinness adorers want 4 things. They want to go to a great pub, a bartender that doesn't disappoint, tye opportunity to drink it with their eyes and the reward, that wonderful Guinness taste as it goes down the back of the tongue. The Guinness adorer wants to see the magic, crafted perfection, standing proud, looking to the horizon, bringing that elbow up. Savouring the dream

Dumb London beer story. Dark Lord was my favourite beer when you could get it in Ireland, have not seen it in about 10 years. So a few years ago I was in London staying with my cousin and spent about 2 hours round trip to get to a market selling crafty beers and got my fill of Dark Lord. Delighted!. Until later that night I went to there local corner shop that was 2 minutes away and had Dark Lord for nearly half the price I paid for in the market!

Weve got the Guiness Guru, we now need to find his nemesis, The Beamish Bodhisattva!

Lmao guinness quality team, they’re not tooth fairies, they’re making very very sparing visits

Even in Ireland I'm only on Guinness last 4ish years and can safely say I've had more ok pints than amazing tons of shtick pints. Quality can even change as night goes on place gets busy pints get worse. I don't understand Guinness sometimes.

Gotta come to Manchester and try Mulligans.

This channel is so fire

The Guinness quality team visited my nearest working man's club last year ... NE England, witnessed by Members.

In Estonia I was served warm guinness in an "Irish Pub " It was complete muck ...when I told them if they served that in Ireland there would of been kicked around the place....do you know what they said....because it's so cold over there in winter they don't cool it....what a fecking joke....it was kid Irish Pub in Tallinn ....don't check it out,ha ha.

Why do you think us Paddys in The UK are always dying for a heap of creamy pints back home! I won't drink Guinness in many pubs in England. The Guinea Grill, The 12 Pins, Homeboy Bars and Sheephaven Bay are about it in London. The Toucan too maybe.

You should have a Guinness in Tennessee at your basic restaurant. Where they sell it like once a week. The worst.

I’m not sure I can take beer suggestions from someone that shaves their nether regions for spring

Took a trip to London from the countryside just to go and experience a proper pint in the Guinea Grill. In Rural South Norfolk the pints are shite!

There's a few muppets serving Guinness in a 2/3 pint glass in Liverpool... the price? I'm sure it was over £4.50+ maybe even a £5er. I'd take the first shit actual pint over that - just straight up insulting

WHEREVER THEY GO!

England doesnt deserve Guinness, we cant even get murphys here so

Next time in London try The Tipperary on Fleet street, Londons oldest Irish pub

Still probably better than the old can's we get in Canada

Just a drink to be fair

£6.60 for a pint of pish. Shocking behaviour

I doubt many central London pubs care about their pints of Guinness.

Why not ask for a clean glass mate?

Alot of staff just pour and top it , don't care how it looks or tastes. You know the difference immediately when someone wants to pull the perfect pint. And it makes a difference where you take your business................

Lol. Brilliant idea for a video

I drink alot of craft stout and in comparison to every Guinness I've had guiness just tastes flavourless. It's almost like a black lager with a drip of stout flavour.

London has always been crap for food and drink quality. Its like they feel theres an unbreakable queue of customers that'll just turn up and buy regardless of quality. Even worse if they spot a northerner who is a tourist

Stunning commentary.

Was in UK last weekend ,,they STILL CANT pour a pint right . They staff told me they have been told to half fill on 1st pour then wait a minute or 2 and pour again . It's Absolute muck in Leeds , Manchester a bit better , Maybe you could do a call out video to the UK side of Guinness

Wtf that picture of the pint of Guinness was over carbonated with Co2. Someone F’d-up and connected a Co2 tank instead of Nitro lol

You said it, LONDON

Had a pint in an Irish bar in Prague. Must have been in the barrel for 10 years. Disgusting

Watched this video last night and decided to go to the guinea grill for a pint... please DON’T BOTHER!!!! I don’t know if they’ve changed management because the pint I paid for hand on my heart is the WORST PINT IVE EVER HAD! It had no head, wasn’t creamy and tasted fizzy and bitter... glass was dirty as well. I love Guinness and it burns me how pubs deliver such terrible Guinness. Don’t sell it if that’s what you’re gonna turn out. I asked the lady who was serving if everything had been cleaned and she assured me it had been that very morning. She then continued to pour two more pints which at the first pour wasn’t developing any head... another lady (I’m guessing a manager) came out saw the two pints and even she shook her head. They said they were having a problem...I’d preferred if they’d told me this rather than serve me that horrible nasty excuse of a pint. I went outside and heard two guys behind me talking about their own dodgy Guinness they had just bought, spinning them around and looking at how sh%tw they were...even the scaffolder walking past looked at it funny. I have a photo as evidence if anyone from that pub cares or is even interested. This pub most certainly DOES NOT SELL DUBLIN LIKE GUINNESS. Whoever built a good reputation at this pub for amazing Guinness most certainly is not there now. I will never buy a Guinness from this pub ever again. Real shame as I was looking forward to a Dublin quality pint.. O’Neil’s in king cross serve a better pint than this. If you want a beautiful Guinness in london there’s an Irish pub 1mins walk away from Ladbroke Grove tube station, also does great pizza and has a pool table. The Guinness here is cold and creamy and left to settle. It’s not a fancy gastro pub BUT it always has brilliant QUALITY Guinness The girls behind the bar are all Irish and wouldn’t dare serve up something like what is being slapped out at the guinea. Ps don’t go to the coach and horses around the corner from the Guinea either I went in there after and u-turned immediately ...someone was complaining about the food... just being honest for £7 a pint. Na

I really want you to try a pint of Guinness that I pull at the hotel I work at. Definitely the best pint in central London in my opinion

It's a mass produced beer 🤷‍♀. Same everywhere

Guinness drinkers try not to be insufferable challenge, (impossible)

No jokes... I was served a Guiness on Friday in a cider glass. I was not happy

The Golden Lion in Dover has the best pint of Guinness

The ferst poynt looked SHOYSH, loyke!
