Just can't do it DM when back in the UK as i know i would only be disappointed . i have said before when i was in OZ in 2000 my best mate who has been there for 25 years said you just have to try it as it is just like home . I told him it will not be the same gave him the whole story etc etc then only went for a glass as he really wanted me to try it .

Well i said " Paddy you have been away form home far to long " it was pi$$ and only had to gob fulls . Goodness DM when you have been in Dublin and you get home why would you buy it  ???????     Rarely drink Guinness in England just on the great day St Pats Day as I like to drink Irish products i.e.Guinness Magners Jamesons etc. and as I say the occasional Sunderland away game if the beer in the pub is iffy. I've  had some very good pints of Guinness in Shepherds Bush and Arsenal over the years.   You may find this difficult to believe but I usually drink Double Maxim in Sunderland.

Now DM talking about double Maxim they sell it in Athenry but brewed here , just like the real thing i have been told

Whats wrong with drinking Guinness outside of Ireland ? I have drank pints in England before that were every bit as good as here.Granted some places it can be sh*te but you can get a crap pint a few hundred yards away from the brewery.

My first pint of Guinness was in Boston and have never looked back. This pub was renowned for their savage pints of black. Even me ex's dad who visited couldn't believe how good it was. Have had some great pints in some bars in the uk too.

But I surprisingly drank copious amounts of it San Francisco two years ago and it was gorgeous.

For me it can never be as good as certain pubs in Dublin so why tease yourself and say yerrrr this is great when we you know it's not .
