Talk:Guinness

From Beeripedia the Beer Wiki

Hi,I used to live in Dublin in the 60s/70s.Draught Guinness was a beautifull drink back then,a pint in the country was often nicer than a city pint,due to it being topped up with fermenting liquid so it would arrive in peak condition a day or so later.Some city pubs were renowned for the quality of the Guinness,as it was then a LIVE and REAL ale,and susceptible to cleanliness,temperature etc.The bottled Guinness also was bottled conditioned ,so it was poured so as not to disturb the yeast sediment,truly Guinness then was good for you.The decline set in in the city pubs in the late 70s,coolers were added and the beer became too cold and lost its taste,this paved the way later for Guinness to be sterilized into a mere shadow of the beutifull, smooth drink it was.Now with falling sales in its home country,and Guinness chasing lager drinkers into the hybrid"red" Guinness its surely time for it to revert back to the natural dark,creamy,yeasty drink it once was.Dave.
