Can't beat a good pint of Guinness. Drank Beamish for about three years and thought it was good untill I went into a pub one day with no Beamish and ordered a Guinness and it was only savage. No going back now. Hate Diageo as a company though. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

Ingredients for the perfect storm of an explosive Donal Trump: - Minimum 8 pints of Guinness - Load of vodka red bull in the club - Late night spicy curry - A berocca in the morning - some coffee to stave off the hangover - An apple and some mandarins for energy - Loads of water for hydration - A Sinnotts carvery with all the trimmings. Rush back to the office with the buttocks clenched, boxers soaked with sweat, never risking even a tiny fart and then unleash a torrent of hellish fury into the jax. Amazing how high you can pebble dash the interior if you really want it go for it. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Had a couple of cans of the 0.0% ones over the weekend and was very impressed. Takes the edge off if you're off the drink. You'd only want 2 of them max as well whereas with normal cans you'd end up having 5 or 6 of them and having a head on you the next day Taste very similar to the normal stuff ------------- I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday |

Had 4 cans ofof the 0.0 at the weekend as was driving and couldn't really taste difference. Stopped off on way home from match last night and had a couple from tap and definitely can't really tell the difference and they were very nice. Will be my go to non-alcoholic for now on as with Guinness it's not only about the alcohol but the taste and the look and feel of it going down. Whereas the likes of erlinger just tease ya and don't even taste as nice as real thing |

Its only 85 cals and I'd much rather the taste of a beer versus a coke and drink water and coffee all the time anyway so when in a pub or social event and can't drink then the non alcoholic is the best thing you can get really. |

Need to give the liver a break so picked up 4 cans of the 0.0 to compliment my evening watching Rovers and the Ryder Cup. I have to say , its by far the best non alcoholic option I've had. It's more watery than the real stuff, but it tastes pretty decent. Smells good and pours a good head. I'd go as far as to say I've had sh*ter pints of the real stuff in a few establishments down through the years. I dont think I'd knock 8-10 back now, but overall I'm impressed ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

Wow. I must try. Do you have to pay extra for the nitrogen thing? I haven't seen them yet. Or is it part of the can itself? This could be a game changer (hate that term) Guinness cans are muck. The head on them is a crappy potholed marked mess and the taste is watery and skank. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

It’s night and day between your regular Draught can with widget and this new set up. Definitely best cans of Guinness I’ve ever had. There is a reusable nitro surge device you buy for 25. This device you attach to the specific nitro surge can (normal cans don’t work). You turn the device on and do a double pour tilting as per instructions. The head was lovely and creamy and kept all the way through the pint (needs to be a clean Guinness class for each can as well to ensure it’s absolutely right). The cans were 15 EUR for 6 so 2.50 a can but they also 550Ml around so fill right exactly to the very top of the Guinness glass with a perfect dome like you would get out of tap if poured right. They need to be right temp too, made mistake on first one it wasn’t cool enough and wasn’t as smooth or nice. They say 24 hours in fridge (so probably 60 mins in freezer from warm)

I bought device in dunnes they were on sale in the off license beside where they were selling the cans. Looks like Tesco and other offos selling too so should find handy enough. They also don’t count as alcohol if you are using vouchers in the supermarket
