Cork Pubs Irish pints review

Fuck, I want a pint now.

Be very careful...

Inspired by Primemutton, one of mine today decided to check out the Guinness factory.
No doubt he would have said this outright to them.

Sad to read that MOE, I know how much you tried to like the place. Could you not have a word with the owner?

I said it, but the answer was "nobody else has complained"

I know it's not just in my head, because I can walk up to the Gables and have a gorgeous pint.

It's hard to explain the taste, there's an awful bitter aftertaste off the stout in there. You'd still be tasting it after leaving the place. One night recently I called a pint, took a sip and then went "for a smoke" and went into the jacks and poured the pint into the sink. Absolutely horrible

That's easily fixed Moe - change from Guinness to Murphys

As for pouring a pint down the jacks that should never have to happen - make the staff drink it instead. Lord knows they're charging enough for it.

Well I've saved a fortune due to their bad pints. Myself and the girlfriend would have been in there every Friday and Saturday, but we haven't had a night there in a month I'd say

It's a shame because Liam is a very nice man and I wish him all the best, but I just can't drink their pints.

Seriously Moe, if a seasoned imbiber such as yourself and your missus are avoiding the place because their pints are undrinkable, yerman Liam should be doing something dramatic to rectify it. Maybe just get the Guinness Team in to sort out the pipes. Have you tried a different pint of stout in there - maybe it's because the staff don't really know how to pull a proper pint rather than it jsut being a guinness thing.

I doubt they care, the place is busy enough as it is without them having to go making changes just to keep me happy.

Funny you say that though, they take their time pouring a pint in there. You could be waiting 5 minutes for a pint of stout, even on a quiet night.

Bar staff should have the 119.5 seconds thing hammered into them. A pint shouldn't take any longer than that to pour

Didn't know it was so strictly time regimented tbh, but maybe that long delay is part of the problem. Hate mawkish pints

The Science Behind Pouring The Perfect Pint Of Guinness

Is there any scientific reason why Guinness is poured in such a ritualistic way? In recent decades the Guinness advertising campaign has revolved around the motto that ‘good things come to those who wait’ – a nod to the very precise, elaborate and time-consuming art-form of pouring the perfect...

In my experience, it's always a bad sign when a place uses those horrible glasses.

Morketing baby.. absolutely no chance you'll be getting a pint out of anything else in there!

Not strictly true, Manger. The storehouse does have the ordinary glass, they sell them... to gobshites.

I got a pint in a Guinness branded tulip glass after I said that I didn't want it in the "Waterford Crystal".

They had no problem with it. You just have to impress with sheer force of will*.
