just installed this in the pub.

 

blows my fucking mind.

believe this is only available to trade.

 

Come on Meldrew, give us the script on this one

good stuff but needs to be executed correctly.

 

God help any fucker if Meldrew is watching

I mentioned this abomination a few months ago as seen in the bowling alley. It's a can, fizzed up.

oh dear senor kerr

 

keep yer head down, its gonna get messy

not playing...............................

So are these only just coming out in Britain ? ...maybe we were the guinea pigs over here, but we have had them for the last 2 years

Surgers were available to buy in tesco's originally (about 3 years Ago if not longer) but a poor marketing campaign or zero marketing campaign from Diageo meant they went under the radar and at the time were exclusive to tesco, died a very sad death, finding a new spot in the market now taking over from kegged guinness as they have a excellent shelf life as opposed to the 56 day of a keg of guinness. Massive in japan and has been for a while. Heres another nice tipple to come out of guinness,Black Lager Exclusive to N.Ireland and america at moment i think.

Guiness red made a short lived apperence round these parts aswell.

 

To be fair I didnt mind it,but it it lasted about 6 months.....

Another good drink,would have kept both bitter drinkers and even real ale drinkers happy that, as Diageo don't own any pubs they struggled to get people to take it on, pubs wanted discount on the proper guinness and they would take on the red, was never going to happen and also reluctance in removing a known bitter pump to replace with a New product. Add to that brewing supply issues (difficult to brew and get spec correct) and again the lack of marketing, another one bites the dust.Only ever made around 500 kegs a month of the red and 50% of that got destroyed due to no-one wanting it, compared to an average of 50k kegs of guinness a month produce in runcorn.

Speaking of stouts, do any pubs still sell Murphy's or Beamish? Not see those for years

Certainly around Cork they do. I actually prefer Murphy's to Guinness when I'm in Ireland.

like mickyd?

Ooh, hark at Twiggy!

Beamish, blimey that's a good'un. Not seen it for ages, but I prefered it to Guinness when in Cork and Waterford a few years back. It wasn't as bitter asI recall.

By the way, I've looked back at my original post about the Guinness Surger in the Bowling Alley and my disgruntlement was at the ?3.15 (then)it cost for a can. I am happy to report that I have no problems with the surger, per se.

meldrew invented it

 

he'll be on later to tell us

I was involved in the creation of a small bit of said device, about 5 or 6 years ago when it was at prototype and that's when I added my little bit. You may thank me later.

I thought I'd invented it a few years ago when twatting the top of a mate's bottle of Budweiser with the bottom of mine and all the contents came spewing out. Someone from Guiness must have seen it and decided that an electronic version of twatting the bottle could breathe some life into a flat pint.

id never tried guinness until this year when i bought a box for a party.

 

shite

 

is a proper pint so much better than a cans worth?

A proper pint is certainly better than the stuff our of a can or a bottle.

 

What is bollocks though is these people who say "Guiness tastes so much better in Ireland than it does here in England" - that's just complete bollocks, it tastes exactly the same unless the Landlord doesn't look after his ale and pipes properly

indeed, I've drunk stuff on holiday and thought "must buy a bottle of that to take home, it's great" you take a bottle home and it's just absolute piss. Drinks in this category are as follows; Honeybee (Goa), Metaxa and Ouzo(Greece) and Arrack (Sri Lanka) - all of them great in their proper surroundings and ghastly when back here in good old Blighty

you've just made a friend for life in uncle victor

 

maybe you 2 should get together and do some for product design

I drink Guinness all the time and the worse pint I ever had was in Ireland, it's far better over here even in Mexico, in Dublin now its 5 quid a pint....anyone remember Guinness Bitter ? that was pretty good, but the last few times I have been home I supped Bank Top dark mild absolutely beautiful with a hell of a kick...

Am I the only one who thinks Guiness tastes like cowshit?

 

 

Not that I've tasted cowshit but its thick, runny, and looks fucking repulsive!
